This has actually gotten worse. Now the selection in the listbox isn't changed at all with the arrow keys. The only thing that happens is that the page scrolls. Linux CVS build 2000-02-20.
Ok, I'll pull this back into M14 as it should probably be fixed in that time frame

Just as bad on WinNT and still kicking in 2000-02-22-08-M14. Changing OS to ALL.

Hey I just patched the XBL to do the right thing, and it still scrolls *unless* you tab navigate into the combo/list box. Then it works. It seems the combo/list boxes are not taking focus via the mouse.
FYI, I didn't checkin that XBL patch because this is not PDT+ I'm pretty sure the focus code is fine here, but I don't know why nsEventStateManager::PostHandleEvent of the mousedown isn't setting focus. I don't see any of the menthods we've hooked into getting called at all, so I'm going to guess that the default action is being prevented (which will prevent the setting of focus in ESM). I'm guessing that prevention happens in the mouse down handling code of these widgets, since tabbing to set focus works. reassigning to karnaze

When I try to duplicate this bug, I get behavior that is different than described here. I'll describe for a pull down combo box, like the ones at the top of this page. When I pull down a list and give the list focus then scroll, the list element that is highlighted does not change at all but the page scrolls. What is different is that the list remains fixed in place on the screen while the rest of the page scrolls out from under it. This causes the list to become seperated from the place that you pull it down from. This might be similar to Bug 28022 which describes problems with something getting separated from something else with scrolling.
Yes, the drop-down list is detaching while the page scrolls; there is a testcase in bug 28030 for that. Retested with 2000-02-23-08-M14 on WinNT.

I am marking this as a GFX List box issue and test it once GFX Dropdowns are working.

*** Bug 33201 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
From bug 33201, on Mac it seem that holding the [down] key pressed does not trigger this bug, while pressing [down] repeatedly does. Also, on Win32, the list no longer moves above its "docked" position upon pressing [up]. But baased on the latest comments from rods@netscape.com, I'm wondering if there is any point reporting details until the GFX LIST code is turned on. Rod?

shouldn't this be marked REOPENED, since the dependencies are obviously not fixed?
Please reopen this bug. It is not entirely fixed. Navigating using the arrow keys in a combo box works now, but navigating using the mouse wheel (linux build 2000110621) still causes the entire page to scroll.
Reopen, however the wheelmouse should probably be considered separately. [cc] bryner

The wheelmouse issue is covered in bug 33733, please don't munge it in with this bug...
bryner - should this bug be open, or not? Gerv
guess not, based on the comments above...
