Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 302483

(Core :: Layout: Form Controls, defect)

[Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050915] (release) (WXpProSp2)

Works fine, as it does on W98SE,
as do SMv1.0b and SMv1.5a nighlies on W98SE too.

My colleague who found this bug tells me that ThunderBird v1.0.x works fine too.

[Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051111 Firefox/1.5] (release) (WXpProSp2)

Open the testcase attachment for bug 320640 (see URL);
expand the 4th/last select dropdown;
see that the first option, the one without width style, selection area is very narrow and on its left side only.

This regression would seem specific to FFv1.5 (branch).

He used TBv1.0.7.

I believe I'm seeing the same effect, though my option elements don't have an explicit width. In my case what I see in general (FF 1.5+) is that options in selects are only clickable over the option contents (i.e., the text node inside the option element) (I guess).  Therefore if one has a blank option there's only a very narrow area at the left edge of the select box where one can click to activate that option.

Firefox 1.0.x makes each option clickable to the width of the expanded select box, regardless of the option tag contents.  In my opinion that is the correct behavior.

... but as the original submitter noted, it's only when the options are wider than the parent select box.  The expanded box is rendered with the correct size, but the behavior is (in my opinion) wrong.

Work fine.

[Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20060419 SeaMonkey/1.1a] (nightly) (W98SE)

SMv1.0.1 and SMv1.1a have this bug too.
Confirming that this bug is specific to the Gv1.8 branch(s).
(Now, I'll have to try and narrow the regression timeframe...)

Bad.
(NB: 20051111 build seems to have this bug fixed, but has another bug (wrt width) ... as if a first fix was checked in then reverted, then a second fix was checked in after 20051114.)
