User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.0.4) Gecko/20060508 Firefox/1.5.0.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.0.4) Gecko/20060508 Firefox/1.5.0.4

Correct behaviour: you have a form with select element, expand it (to see first n options), when you want to select an option by typing, it scrolls down and selects (highlights) an option starting with the typed text.
Problem: it does not scroll down if the select element has a width style set. You can try it using attached HTML file.
I tried it in latest night-build of Firefox, Mozilla 1.7.13. It works well in Opera, MSIE and Konqueror.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open attached HTML test case
2. Expand select element
3. type 'x'

Actual Results:  
Option 'x' is selected, but the option list does not scroll down (you dont see the selected opetion)

Expected Results:  
Option list should scroll down to see the selected option.
