62837 - Combo box that drops up is not very visible

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 88399

(Core :: Layout: Form Controls, defect, P3)

Description

[[e-mail]]

The OS combo box on the Enter Bug page is quite long so that if it is near the
bottom of the screen then it will drop up instead of down. However as forms.css
specifies that the :-moz-dropdown-list has a 1px outset ThreeDFace border but
only on the left, right and bottom this looks somewhat unusual.

I don't know if forms.css has platform-specific versions but I would suggest
either a 1px solid WindowFrame border (on all four sides as Windows does!) or a
1px inset ThreeDFace border (again on all four sides).

I do not intend to work on this. This is not an easy CSS fix, since I would
have to know which way the dropdown had dropped. This will be fixed by the
XBL widgets work, hopefully.

Can I WONTFIX this?
