Description

[pavo]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; cs; rv:1.8.1.11) Gecko/20071127 Firefox/2.0.0.11
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; cs; rv:1.8.1.11) Gecko/20071127 Firefox/2.0.0.11

The SELECT on attached HTML page with following code is not handled well by firefox 2.0.0.11

The problem is visible when try to select one of options with short text using mouse pointer  moving near the right side of select box. The width of option elements is small. The option element should have same widh like width of box, but it is smaller

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Copy attached file to filesystem
2.Open file using Firefox
3.Put focus into Firefox address bar and press ENTER (note that using <F5> sometime causes correct rendring of this select box)
4.Open select box on html page using mouse and try to click on one of option with name '0'

Actual Results:  
it is possible to select option only when mouse pointer hovers over text. When it is over space after text, then selection is not possible.


Expected Results:  
it should be possible to select option when mouse pointer hovers over whole line of text.


After click on text, Firefox starts to handle select box well. Until you moves focus to Firefox address bar and press ENTER again.

Notes: 
- when width of select box is bigger, then problem does not occur
- when style border is not used, then problem does not occur

This bug was originally reported on Firefox 2.x or older, which is no longer supported and will not be receiving any more updates. I strongly suggest that you update to Firefox 3.6.6 or later, update your plugins (flash, adobe, etc.), and retest in a new profile. If you still see the issue with the updated Firefox, please post here. Otherwise, please close as RESOLVED > WORKSFORME
