65188 - [HLP][LST]Selection box not selecting properly

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: Layout: Form Controls, defect)

Description

[Aaron Kaluszka]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; 0.7) Gecko/20010109
BuildID:    2001010901

On a multiple-selection selection box (such as the entire top row of Bugzilla
Query), items are not selected properly if Shift+Home and Shift+End are used.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Click on first item of selection box.
Hold Shift and press End.

Actual Results:  Only the last item is selected.

Expected Results:  All items should be selected.

This acts even stranger when some items are already selected (Shift/Ctrl+Click).
 The workaround is to use Shift+Click instead.

Comment 7

[Aaron Kaluszka]

...well can it make 0.9.4 at least?  The fix has been available for 5 months.

Just FYI, when bug 34297 is done, this will be too (it may be a few weeks before
it's reviewed and goes through iterations though).  Also, this patch won't work
because it will set disabled options even though it should not.  The 34297 patch
fixes the problem and centralizes the selection code so that disabled options
cannot be selected.

If someone wants to fix and check in this patch, though, go ahead.

Adding a dependency just so that I can keep track of what bugs it fixes.
