271141 - Focus is not leaving a combobox until you click another combobox twice.

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core :: Layout: Form Controls, defect)

[Delete Account Please]

User-Agent:       Opera/7.60 (Windows NT 5.1; U; en)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

After clicking on a dropdown, when one clicks on another dropdown, it does not 
appear instantly.  You have to click twice in order for it to appear.  I think 
that the original dropdown refuses to release focus until the new dropdown is 
clicked twice.  Click on grid, hours, day, time, categories, stations, channels 
dropdowns many times and see for yourself.  Those dropdowns should appear 
instantly (well, almost instantly since Gecko has a slow change of focus 
problem), but should not require more than one click to open a dropdown.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to www.zap2it.com.
2. Click "TV."
3. Click on "TV Listings."
4. Type 30096 as the zip code.
5. Select Charter Communications (Digital).
6. Click on the listings option boxes.

Actual Results:  
When one clicks on another dropdown, it does not appear instantly.  You have to 
click twice in order for it to appear.  I think that the original dropdown 
refuses to release focus until the new dropdown is clicked twice.

Expected Results:  
The dropdown should appear instantly with only one click.

This is the designed behavior, as I understand... the first click closes the
popup, the second actually shifts focus away from the dropdown....

Internet Exporer behaves the same way.  Opera, however, does not require two 
clicks.

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.
