4.observe that onclick event handler for richlistbox does not fire

Actual Results:  
onclick event handler does not fire for richlistbox

Expected Results:  
onclick event handler SHOULD fire

Please attach a one-file testcase here.

permissions violation definitely happens but onclick event handler failing to fire was an artifact of my test script - please ignore that part.

Attachment: xul, css and xbl file demonstrating permissions violation

These test cases files will generate a permissions violation on both PC/win2000/FF1.5 and Mac/10.4/FF1.5 when clicking in the text box, which renders
making event handlers to do anything useful pretty difficult :(

That's not one file, and it surely isn't minimal. Anyways, running it, I get the following on the Error Console:
Error: uncaught exception: Permission denied to call method XULControllers.getControllerCount
Error: uncaught exception: Permission denied to call method HTMLDivElement.getAttribute
Error: uncaught exception: Permission denied to get property HTMLDivElement.className
CONFIRMing.

The bug SUMMARY suggests that <richlistbox> doesn't work at all. From your description and the testcase, it seems that only the <textbox> when used in <richlistbox> has a little problem. It still works, though. Adjusting summary.
