Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.8a4) Gecko/20040924

In the page http://www.cjags.plus.com/alan/demo.html is a multiple line select
box.  If you scroll down (to W say) and select it, then click the CLICK button,
javascript will fire off and change the select text to Mr Blobby.  The new
select options are rendered but the list repositions to the top of the options
instead of preserving the scroll position.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Scroll select box down a bit
2. Select W
3. Click the CLICK button

Actual Results:  
W is changed to Mr Blobby but the options are redisplayed from the top instead
of the scroll position being maintained.


Expected Results:  
The W should have Changed to Mr Blobby and the current scroll position of the
list should have been maintained so you can see the change.
