I can reproduce the problem on the first testcase (though not on the second one).

Roc, Neil, any idea what's up?

Using mouse to open the list, both testcases select in Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U;
Linux i586; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040708 (Mandrake 10.1). The first does not
automatically scroll to show the selection, while the second does.

Using only keyboard, both select and show selected, though neither expand the
list with the down arrow.

The second test case works perfectly for me.
The first test looks very flickery to me, as if the popup hides and shows.

I can see the problem on both tescases.
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041007
Firefox/0.10

Confirming.

Uri, note that you are using a _very_ old Gecko build (6 months old at this
point).  Please test layout bugs in current trunk builds...

I'm seeing the same behaviour with:
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8a5) Gecko/20041008
Firefox/0.9.1+

Confirming:

The first (obsoleted) testcase needs to use the keyboard twice to see the end of the list: you can use the 'End' key instead of 'N' to get the same (bad) behaviour.
The focus is moved to the selected option (you could check by scrolling the list with the mouse), but then the list flickers:
the scrollbar moves briefly to its end _then goes back to the top_ :-/

If fact, the issue is worse yet:
once the last item item is selected (whether displayed or not), using the up arrow (etc) shows the same bad behaviour...

PS: I got the second testcase to show this bug two separate times ... I think that was when I loaded the first testcase in a new tab while the second was still loading in a new tab two. (I'm not too sure exactly how, but it's worth mentionning, just in case.)

Explaining/Fixing the first testcase would be fine.

Wonder how we can test this...
