544767 - form fill should handle select elements with size > 1 better

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Brad Lassey [:blassey] (use needinfo?)]

When interacting with a select element such as the components list on Bugzilla, the user basically has two views of the same data. Its not obvious which one the user should be interacting with.

do you have any idea for putting in evidence that the usable field is the one generated by the form helper?

I am wondering how important this bug really is. I wouldn't mind making the select helper UI look prettier, but I don't think this bug is a long term problem. Once the user figures out they are suppose to use the big dialog to pick an item, the problem goes away.

Stuart - I think we should drop this from blocking fennec

The select UI is more noticeable now and shouldn't cause confusion. We can file a new bug on the select UI if needed.

There is only one view now.
