Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 79107

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4

a <select> object renders css styles applied to the <option> tags great. 
However, when one of those <option>'s is selected, (e.g. displayed as the
selected option), the display of the <select> object, should reflect the
selected <option>.

(see attachment)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create an HTML select element, with css styles applied to 1 or more of the
option tags.
2. view page, select various options


Actual Results:  
The main <select> element remains un-styled/un-affected by selected <option> css
styles.

Expected Results:  
If the <select> object, has a size="1" (default), and is not a "multiple"
<select>, then *idealy* the select would "inherit" the selected child's styles.

The user "appears" to see the option that they selected, but styles are lost.

Note: some other browsers get this right, some don't, or only partially.
 IE: FG colors ok, BG colors ok, no fonts (size, style, or family) in options
and selected
 OP: no FG colors, no BG colors, no fonts (size, style, or family) in options
and selected
MOZ: in options:
       FG colors ok, BG colors ok, font (size, style, family) ALL Okay
     in selected:
       no FG colors, no BG colors, no fonts (size, style, or family)*
       *(select seems to grow to largest font size in list... IMHO, this appears
to be very strange)

I will be attaching a test case, and "faked" expected results.

Attachment: Simple Form showing actual, and expected results.

Example Test Case.  Note, the "expected" results are spoofed... if/when this
bug is resolved, the "second" part of the form, will not alter.
