User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8a2) Gecko/20040709 Firefox/0.9.0+

On the given page, I noticed that I had to click a listbox 3 times for it to
open. It always appears to be 3 times. Unless I have already clicked the
component 3 times. Then I can select other components in the form and come back
to this component and I only have to click it once for it to open.

I should only have to click any listbox once for it to open. Not 3 times.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to webpage with listbox items.
2. Try to open listbox.
3. Required to click 3 times before it will open.

Actual Results:  
Lots of clicking.

Expected Results:  
Should only have to click once.
this is a dupe of bug 149981 - must click three times on <select> form controls
before dropdown appears when pref browser.display.focus_ring_on_anything is enabled.

re-opening. This bug was incorrectly marked duplicate of bug 149981 , which has
similar symptoms, but only occurs when the obscure gui-less pref
browser.display.focus_ring_on_anything is enabled. The reporter of this bug did
NOT have that pref enabled. (see bug 149981 comment 21)

Is this bug caused by :focus or browser.display.use_focus_colors and
browser.display.focus_(text&background)_color? If so maybe it is related to bug
163503.
This happens on Linux and Solaris, but not on Windows XP.  Seems to be related
to setting the field highlight in Javascript, since a simple case in HTML
doesn't reproduce the problem.

The following shows the problem in 1.0.3:

<html>
<head>
<script language="javascript">
// When the field highlighting is enabled for the 
// select control, three clicks are required to 
// get the listbox to drop down.
function doHilite(field)
{
field.style.backgroundColor='green';
}
function undoHilite(field)
{
field.style.backgroundColor='';
}
function doOnLoad()
{
document.forms.myform.elements.text.onfocus=new Function("doHilite(this);");
document.forms.myform.elements.text.onblur=new Function("undoHilite(this);");
document.forms.myform.elements.drop.onfocus=new Function("doHilite(this);");
document.forms.myform.elements.drop.onblur=new Function("undoHilite(this);"); }
</script> 
</head> 
<body onload="doOnLoad()"> 
<form name="myform"> 
<input type=text name="text"> 
<select name="drop"> 
<option name=foo>foo</option> 
</select> 
</form> 
</body> 
</html>

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
