Drop-down widgets have drastically changed in Windows 8: 1. They open/close with a "unfolding/folding" animation. 2. They use an infinite scrolling method, looping through the items (see the screenshot). 3. Each item in the list has a lot more padding now. 4. When scrolling using the mouse wheel, the drop-down widget shows a Lion-like narrow scrollbar (see the screenshot).

I think this and the other content theme bugs should be marked wontfix. IE is a special case where they have the metro widgets in the desktop ui because they are sharing a browser. But every other app on the desktop, including explorer, uses the same widgets we do. We can do better by supporting the metro theme in metro, and desktop theme on the desktop.

Dao, why did you change this back to widget/win32?

I'm not sure what component you intended to move this to, and why, but this certainly isn't a Fennec bug.

Fennec (XUL) is the browser running in metro, and these widgets are only rendered in that interface. So yes it is a fennec bug unless we figure out how to do this through uxtheme, and based on some testing that doesn't look possible.

In the new preview, drop down buttons look fine and mimic system drop downs. However we don't support the new drop down features that IE implemented, which appear to be more touch friendly. Similar differences exist for text and password fields. Not sure if we want to close this out as WFM or keep it around for that work, if we decide to implement it.

We support all the native elements now through the theme lib, which IE is also supporting. Bug 841141 is all about implementing custom touch friendly controls. Those can be shared by desktop and metro once we get them.
