The <select> element choice doesn't update when you use a reload on the page via. the Reload in the toolbar or apple-r. Even thou the source says it cleary is different.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
in a <form><select> have an option <option selected>1</option> and <option>2</option>
save the page and then load it.
and then change them to
<option>1</option>
<option selected>2<option>
use the reload function by either apple-r or the reload button on the toolbar and it doesn't update the select list.
the source says its different but it doesn't update the select list correcty

is there a particular url that does this, and does firefox behave any differently? my guess is no based on session history.

there is no particular url that does it because the selected value of the option would have to change after  you loaded the first page and before you reloaded the page.

yes firefox does the same thing. Opera and Safari do find the new selected values.

I believe I once saw someone from Core say this was the correct/expected behavior and that you needed to shift-reload to force form fields to be updated.  I think this is particluarly true now that we have bfcache.

-> core

a particular URL would make it easier to reproduce for everyone. thanks!
