337007 - Font sizes in select/option not rendered correctly

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[scratch65536]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8.0.3) Gecko/20060426 Firefox/1.5.0.3
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8.0.3) Gecko/20060426 Firefox/1.5.0.3

In trying to achieve a 7pt font via a style tag in a <select> list, I find that 6pt gives me a rendition 6 pixels high while 7pt gives me an 8pt (9px) rendition.  I can get 7pt (8px) outside the <select>, so the problem is not a more general one.  

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create a <select> list and set the font sizes to 6pt, 7pt, and 8pt, comparing the renditions.
2.
3.



Expected Results:  
Given that 7pt is rendered with 8px, and 8pt with 9px, I would expect 6pt to be rendered with 7px.  And, of course, I'd expect to get 7pt when I specify 7pt.

When I have the 'perform anti-aliasing' switch set in Windoze, the 6pt size is anti-aliased in a way that makes it almost completely illegible.  FF seems to be implicated in this, too, since the anti-aliasing doesn't fuzz things up in Opera (7.54u2 cut 3929) at that point size.

Reporter, do you still see this problem with the latest Firefox 2? If not, can you please close this bug as WORKSFORME. Thanks!

Closing as INCOMPLETE due to lack of updates. Please reopen if you're still
seeing this issue. It would be great if you could include a url/testcase then.
