BuildID: 2000100308 The font the SELECT element is using is not as large as the element thinks it is. As a result, it ends up showing the top part of a line of text that should be completely invisible. By the time the size of the SELECT reaches 10, 11 lines of text are shown. For the case of SIZE=5, when 5.5 lines of text are shown, the result looks a little strange. I've tried this out on several Linux builds going back to 9/27 and they all have the problem. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a file that contains the following HTML <HTML> <BODY> <FORM> <SELECT SIZE="10"> <OPTION>1 <OPTION>2 <OPTION>3 <OPTION>4 <OPTION>5 <OPTION>6 <OPTION>7 <OPTION>8 <OPTION>9 <OPTION>10 <OPTION>11 <OPTION>12 </SELECT> </FORM> </BODY> </HTML> 2. Look at the document in Mozilla. Actual Results: I see 11 items in the select Expected Results: There should have been 10 items in the select.
Rod, Renders okay on win98.
Works for me in Build 2000101820 in WinNT.

It's worked for me in Win98 all along. Still does not work correctly in Linux (trunk build 2000101908). That's why it's marked as a Linux bug.

This must be a bizarre font metrics problem - reassigning this may be resolved if we go to XBL form controls

waqar, this is a font metric issue, it should be sizing correctly.
