On the above URL, you'll find a select box.  It contains two options, but the
second option, when selected, shows up as a blank box.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://www.zitnay.com/stuff/ffbug.html.
2. Open up the select box.
3. Select the second option ("short string").
Actual Results:  
The select box goes blank.

Expected Results:  
"short string" should have shown up in the select box.

In case my server is somehow down, here is the complete source code of

With the 1.0.x branch, I see the described problem
But with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8b4)
Gecko/20050727 Firefox/1.0+ ID:2005072710 things work as expected.
Reporter, can you please try with Deer Park Alpha 2 (Firefox 1.5 alpha 2) and
verify that this problem is indeed fixed for you? Thanks!
Hmm, in SeaMonkey 2005072511 om Mac OS 10.3.9 I see "long" when selecting the
first option and "short" when selecting the second.

I just tried in Deer Park Alpha 2 (Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-
US; rv:1.8b3) Gecko/20050712 Firefox/1.0+), and the problem has changed.  
Indeed, I'm seeing the same thing Stefan saw; "long" when the first option is 
selected and "short" when the second option is selected.  Thus, both options 
are now truncated when displayed in the select box after being selected.

This doesn't occur when you remove the <font> tags from around the <select>
element.

Mats, any idea what's up here?
This appears to have been fixed at some point (working on FF 3.0.5 Win32 at least).
