(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1

The presence or absence of the "selected" attribute within a select list somehow
effects the layout following the select list. This behavoir disappears when
loading from cache.

If you check out the example page, you'll see a large gap between the first
select list and the text below it. There is no gap however between the second
select list and the text below it. The only difference between the select lists
is that one has an option which is selected by default (using the selected
attribute) and the other one doesn't.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://www.angelblade.com/bugs/selected.html
Actual Results:  
There is an obvious difference between the layout of the two examples on the page.

Expected Results:  
They should be identical.

This bug has been confirmed in Firefox 0.9.3 and 1.0PR, as well as Mozilla 1.7
(on both Mac and PC).

WFM 20041006 PC/Win2000.  Both renderings are identical.

You should retest it in a current trunk nightly.
