Mats, didn't you run into this recently?

The closest one I can think of is bug 268497 but that's a different problem,
I think.

I do see the described behaviour in Mozilla 1.7.3 on Linux, but the
"Actual Results" is different in a 2005-01-11 trunk Linux build.
The caret does not jump to the beginning, it ends up on the right side of the
<select>. (The caret does not seem to enter into the <select> though).
If I change the select to <select multiple="multiple"> then I can at least
edit one of the options (2), but I can't navigate to the other.
This bug seems more like a keyboard navigation problem.

Ginn Chen is the man who knows about these kinds of bugs.

Do we need choose option in midas?
I don't think so.

But I can't go through the following HTML by right arrow(left arrow works), it
may be a bug.
Tra la la. <select multiple="multiple"><option>1</option><option>
2</option></select> Tra la la.

Dear Ginn Chen, in IE  in <div contentEditable="true"> it is possible to use
<select> tag and choose options. This allows to create aplications where there
are the templates which can be edited by users. Therefore, to choose <option> in
midas is very important for us. Furthermore, to catch event onchange from tag
<select> is also useful.

Is it a feature request of midas?
It's not only a keyboard navigation bug, I can't choose a option in midas by
mouse, either.
