Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 79107

(Core :: Layout: Form Controls, defect)

Description

[Jan Van Buggenhout]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1

The select drop-down in the following example contains &nsbp;'s to simulate a
color selection. When you click the drop-down, arrow, the colors are displayed
fine, but when the drop-down is "closed", it doesn't display the color

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. The backgound color in the drop-down should be black
2. Click on the arrow
3. Select the 2nd entry
4. The first color should turn black (it wasn't when the drop-down opened
because the blue selection changes the actual color displayed)
5. Hover over any color and click to select it

Actual Results:  
The background color in the drop-down is white

Expected Results:  
The background color in the drop-down should have been the color you selected

Works in IE;
Happens in both firefox and in mozilla 1.7 and TRUNK.

The background is set on the option in that testcase, not on the select.  The
select itself always shows the select's background...
