If you begin typing a text entry field on mapquest that you have typed before,
form manager provides selections to help you auto-complete what you're typing.
If you choose instead to use the drop down box, you cannot bring it down because
form manager keeps trying to bring you back to the input field.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Do several searches for directions from www.mapquest.com/directions. This
builds up the drop down box to include recent searches. City and state only
searches are fine.
2.Do one more search. Type the first letter in the from city field of a city you
have done a search on before.
3.When form manager pops up suggestions, try to click the drop down box above
for recent searches.

Actual Results:  
Form Manager regains focus to allow auto-completion and the drop-down box never
dropped down.

Expected Results:  
Displayed the drop-down box and aborted form manager for that field.

Works for me. Could you test this in 1.5 beta and see if you're still seeing
this? http://www.mozilla.org/projects/firefox/

Problem 100% re-createable under beta version. Are you sure you're testing this
under Linux?

Which beta version? Your build ID in comment 0 is of 1.0.7.

Sorry, I can no longer re-create this problem as:

1) I no longer have access to the Linux computer I was using and am trapped again on Windows.

2) Mapquest changed their site so it no longer uses a select box.
