441141 - Select tags select options not working correctly

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Steve Clarke]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.14) Gecko/20080404 Firefox/2.0.0.14
Build Identifier: Firefox 3 (Latest)

Just to inform, I've generated a basic HTML page with a select field (both a single and multiple select).

Applying selected="selected" on an option does not set the option as selected (however "selected" is in the source code). Surprisingly selected="1" and other variations such as selected="true" all work fine.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Create a basic XHTML transitional page, add a form with a select field (both a single and multiple select field) and set option(s) with selected="selected".
Actual Results:  
Option(s) is not selected.

Expected Results:  
Option(s) should be selected.

Works for me here, using current trunk build.
Could you perhaps attach a testcase?

He xtc4uall, in this case qawanted keyword seems more appropriate to me, because there is no website where the bug can be seen and which you could use to minimized. At least, that's what my understanding of the testcase-wanted keyword is. Do you agree? (disagree?)
