89466 - select box with SIZE > 1 does not display the dotted line when it receives focus

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 64165

(Core :: Layout: Form Controls, defect)

Description

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:0.9.2) Gecko/20010703 
Netscape6/6.1

A dotted line depicts that the control has got the focus when the user tabs 
through the form. Here I noticed that when I tab to a select box which has the 
multiple attribute set, the dotted line does not appear in the box. But if I use 
the up down arrows, I am able to make a selection.

Steps to reproduce:-
1. go to http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/query.cgi
2. tab to the select box of Status (or) Resolution (or) Platform (or) any other 
select box which has the multiple attribute set
3. use the Keyboard up-down arrows to move around in the select box

actual:
You will see that the select box does NOT show the dotted line.
But still when u use the up-down arrows I am able to move around in the select 
box. This shows that the select box control did receive focus.

expected:
Since the select box receives focus, it should also display the dotted line.

This does affect the user interction. This bug looks similar to Bug 64076 and 
64165.

Isn't this the same as bug 64165, "html forms: indicate focused listbox using
dotted border"?
