684184 - PageUp and PageDown keys not working properly in a select control

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Keyboard Navigation, defect)

Description

Attachment: Example code

I defined a select element with its size specified in CSS, and the size attribute (with any number >= 2) to have it show multiple options on the screen (i don't want a drop down control)

The HTML code is valid, but the behaviour of the browser with the PageUp/PageDown is incorrect : PageUp works like the Down Arrow key, and PageDown like the Up Arrow key.

Just save the code in a file and open it in the browser to see the problem.

Since this isn't a security issue I doubt it will be fixed in the Firefox 3.6 branch.
