275693 - HTML menu not scrollable in small frame

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: File Handling, defect)

Description

[Konrad]

When an html <select> menu is put into a small frame (such as on top of a page),
the contents of the menu can not be scrolled. 

When the same html-file is called in a larger frame or stand alone, it scrolls fine.

Occurs only when <select> is put after a line break (<br>)

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.

Bug is still present in latest release. If you use a frameset like the one below
and put a long <select> menu into the top frame (see below), that menu will not
scroll. Contrary to my earlier remark, this is independent of a preceding <br>
tag. This might be a minor bug, but it prevents folks from using <select> tags
in a navigation bar of websites.

I am finding that the menu can always be scrolled. However, when the ROW height of the top frame is less than 21 (using the sample code posted by Konrad) then the menu starts to get cut off at the bottom. But even then, I am still able to click on it and use the scrollbar that appears normally. (Tested in Firefox 1.0.7 and 1.5 RC1 on Windows XP.)
