301916 - form option drop-down list can't be opened if css hover is set

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Elinks
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511

The testcase is reduced from the Horde IMP webmail interface. Drop-down list
does not open with mozilla 1.7.8 or 1.7.10 that has been installed with
http://207.200.66.54/pub/mozilla.org/mozilla/releases/mozilla1.7.10/mozilla-i686-pc-linux-gnu-1.7.10-installer.tar.gz
to a debian woody system.

However, drop-down list is visible with debian sarge's mozilla-browser package
version 1.7.8. I went through the debian specific patches but couldn't find
anything relevant. Perhaps the crucial differences is that sarge's package uses
GTK2 while mozilla.org's version uses GTK1?
The testcase works in debian sarge's mozilla-browser package version 1.7.8.
