58220 - [LNX][CBS,LST]Select boxes rendering weird when using CSS to size the control small

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Layout: Form Controls, defect)

Description

[djoham]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.2.14-15mdk i686; en-US; m18) Gecko/20001023
BuildID:    2000102306

If you use style="width:<somesmallvalue>; height:<somesmallvalue>" on an HTML
SELECT element, mozilla gets very confused as to what to do with the scrollbars
for the control. Linux displays the full toolbar set while Windows shows some
kind of square box thing. This is very visible when you use width:0px; height:0px.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Open test case I'm attaching. this uses width:0px; height:0px

Note the display of the SELECT box

Actual Results:  The SELECT Element is rendered weird

Expected Results:  The SELECT box should be rendered non-weird. For example,
with width and height of 0, nothing should be displayed. For small values of
width and height, scrollbars should not be displayed unless there is a place to
put them in the assigned height.

IE renders the element as I would expect.

Why do I care about width:0 and height:0? Why don't I just use display: none?
Because bug 34297 won't let me. Drat!

I'm seing this problem on Windows 98 build 2000111704. The problem seems to be
due to the width:0px. If you set height:0px and don't specify any width, the
form element doesn't display, like the reporter wants to have. The problem
starts, when I specify a width less than 30px (but this size depends of the
contents).
