In Mozilla's Composer, if you edit a weblink by right clicking, choosing "Link
Properties...", then choosing "Advanced Edit...", I'm pretty sure it used to be
that if I choose an "Attribute:" of "target" I would get a list of pulldown
choices in the "Value:" field.

Now, I just have to type in the Value by hand.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open a html file with weblinks in the Moz Composer
2.Right click on a link, choose "Link Edit", click on "Advanced Edit"
3.The set the Attribute pulldown menu to Target

Actual Results:  
In the "Value:" field, there's no pulldown list of value choices ("top", "self"...)

Expected Results:  
In the "Value:" field, there should be a valid list of pulldown list of value
choices

I see the same behavior on Mozilla on my Windows XP box (Mozilla/5.0 (Windows;
U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b) Gecko/20050217), so I'm changing this bug to
"All" for the Hardware & OS fields

Not a Core editor issue.

This looks like a regression from bug 272002 -- the code here is depending on
the oninput event that used to be triggered by selecting an element in the
editable menulist.  It looks like we no longer do that, which is somewhat of a
XUL platform change too.... (hence requesting blocking for 1.8b3 unless we
definitely want this platform change).

In fact the code contains workarounds for the old oninput behaviour.

I suggest removing the workarounds and adding oncommand handlers to fix the bug.

Can you reproduce with SeaMonkey v1.1.9 ?

This problem still reproduces for me on Seamonkey 2.0.1 on Mac OS/X ( Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; en-US; rv:1.9.1.6) Gecko/20091206 SeaMonkey/2.0.1 )
