Very occasionally, some of the scrolling <select> elements of the query form at <http://bugs.kde.org/query.cgi> are rendered incorrectly, with the items and scrollbar placed to the right of the frame meant to contain them.  See the attached screenshots for details.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to <http://bugs.kde.org/query.cgi>.

Could you test with current trunk build to see if this is still a problem?

Comment 4

[Tristan Miller]

The bug occurs so rarely that installing a current trunk build just to try to reproduce it is impractical.  By the time I reproduced the bug, the build would probably no longer be current.

Could you at least use a 1.8-branch based build -- SeaMonkey 1.0.x or Firefox 1.5.0.x?  Mozilla 1.7 code is very old.

I haven't encountered this bug for many months.  Perhaps it's been fixed.  I'm currently using Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20061107 SUSE/1.0.99-18 SeaMonkey/1.1b.
