WFM with Mozilla 1.7.12 and Mozilla 1.8b2/2005061605 but reproducible with Mozilla 1.8b2/2005061705, SeaMonkey 1.0 and SeaMonkey 1.1a/2005091805 (rv:1.9), again WFM with SeaMonkey 1.1a/2005091906 (rv:1.9).

Confirmed. Options in the <select> cannot be selected by mouse, but can be selected with the keyboard.

We should figure out when this got fixed on trunk...

This was fixed between 2006-01-26 and 2006-01-27:
http://bonsai.mozilla.org/cvsquery.cgi?treeid=default&module=all&branch=HEAD&branchtype=match&dir=&file=&filetype=match&who=&whotype=match&sortby=Date&hours=2&date=explicit&mindate=2006-01-26+06&maxdate=2006-01-27+05&cvsroot=%2Fcvsroot
I guess it was fixed by bug 324836.

You want to have that patch on branch? Not sure if that's possible, maybe it depends on bug 317375?
(and in any case, this is not a crash or security bug or a major regression)

Yeah, this doesn't meet branch criteria. Let's just mark it fixed and move on. Thanks Martijn.
