1. Load https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/query.cgi?format=advanced
2. Click on a <select>
3. Ctrl+A (or Edit > Select All)

Result: All text on the page was selected.

Expected: Select all options.

Workaround: Home, Shift+End.

(When you Ctrl+A in a <select> *without* the multiple attribute, selecting all
items wouldn't be right.  Maybe it should do nothing in that case.)
