4158 - [PP]linux: Forms with more than one OPTION draw badly

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: XUL, defect, P3)

Description

[cpratt]

Use this HTML snippet:

<FORM METHOD=POST ACTION="http://www.apple.com/cgi-bin/nph-menu">
Visit other Apple sites around the world:
<SELECT NAME="worldwide"

ONCHANGE="location.href=this.form.worldwide.options[this.form.worldwide.selected

Index].value"><OPTION SELECTED>Choose...
<OPTION VALUE="http://www.asia.apple.com/">Asia
</SELECT>
<INPUT TYPE="submit" NAME="btn_worldwide" VALUE="Go">
</FORM>

If you view this using the 22 March build on linux, clicking on the Other...
doesn't result in a proper drop-downlist being drawn. Instead, all you see is
'Other...' and both vertical and horizontal scroll bars. The expected result
should be an easy to read list (Mac and Windows have this already) with only a
vertical scroll bar if the list is very long.

pav - I'll verify tomorrow. My apologies for putting the stuff on a
Netscape-internal server. In the future, would it work for you to ask the bug
reporter to copy it to an external site? That would work best for us. Thanks!

Nope, still broken. musicblvd.com, for example. HTML from that site:

<select name="search_type"> <option value="artist" selected>By Artist:</option>
<option value="album">By Album:</option> <option value="song">By Song:</option>
</select>

This displays in a tiny box with vertical and horizontal scrollbars.

Stuart, Ramiro had me look at this. It seems to work fine for me -- I was about
to mark worksforme but I thought I'd check with you to see what you are finding.
The gfx rendered version looks slightly different than the native Gtk+ version,
but essentially there is no real difference. Phillip, could you try again with a
recent (i.e., 4/29) build?

tried on redhat 5.2 i386, build 1999-04-29-08, viewer and apprunner.

in viewer, i verified that the options draw without the scrollbars with
both the native and gfx widget rendering modes.

and i think musicblvd.com might be having problems with the widget due to
a javascript error, not the widget...

shall [someone] resovle->fixed this one?

Moving all Widget Set bugs, past and present, to new HTML Form Controls
component per request from karnaze.  Widget Set component will be retired
shortly.

Comment 11

[stuartp]

moving to XP Toolkit/Widgets since these are not HTML form controls

[Stuart Parmenter]
