260438 - Scrolling mouse wheel over <select> options scrolls the page

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Trejkaz]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10

Using the mousewheel while hovering over the options of this particular
drop-down box results in the page scrolling and the options "detaching" from the
box.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://www.mercola.com/forms/contact.htm
2. Click on the "Topic" list box, hover over one of the options in the list.
3. Scroll the mousewheel.

Actual Results:  
The page behind the options scrolls, resulting in the options visually detaching
from the main drop-down control.

Expected Results:  
Probably nothing, unless the list is long enough to have its own scrollbar, in
which case it should scroll that.

The same drop-downs I see on sites like this Bugzilla work fine.  But I can't
see anything unusual on that site, either.  Maybe someone can figure out what's
going on here, though.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

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.
Thank you for your help in this matter.

Looks like it isn't present in Mozilla Firefox 1.5 Beta 2 anyway.

GJ!
