36699 - Pressing the down arrow in a pop up field scrolls window and field

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 27661

(Core :: DOM: UI Events & Focus Handling, defect, P3)

Description

[kirbyt]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; N; PPC; en-US; m15)
BuildID:    2000041805

Clicking a pop up window and pressing the down arrow will scroll the window and
the pop up field.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to Bugzilla helper form
2. Click into the 'Component' pop up field
3. Press the down arrow to scroll within the pop up field


Actual Results:  The key down events are sent to the pop up field and the
enclosing browser window (They both scroll)

Expected Results:  Only popup field should scroll

Holding the down arrow key down works as expected only repeated key presses
cause this to happen.

a variant of this can be observed at
http://www.cnn.com/WEATHER/
in the box labeled "Or choose a state"
Different from mozilla help-page, also the scroll-wheel have an effect here; 
instead of scrolling in the box, the whole dropdown is torn off and slides down
and up the webpage, while the selection remains the same.Can be related to the
first fix checkins for bug 30091

This is the same as bug 27611, "[GFX LIST]navigating in combo/list box causes 
entire page to scroll", except for the detail about the not happening if the 
down key is held down; that detail does not reproduce in today's build on WinNT. 
Will mention in 27611; Marking as DUP.

This is not a duplicate of 27611.
bug 27611 is "Feature: Mozilla should handle profiles like Netscape 4.x on *NIX
platforms"
This IS, however, a duplicate of bug 27661
