909384 - Select tag inside panels blank out the panel when they are clicked and render outside the panel

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 886329

(Add-on SDK Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[John Pereira]

Attachment: The test addon that I created to replicate the issue.

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/29.0.1547.57 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create an addon that uses a panel
2. Set the contentURL to an HTML file with a select tag in it
3. Install the addon and open the panel by clicking on the icon
4. Click on the select tag inside the displayed panel

I have uploaded a video of the process here - http://screencast.com/t/vh7we3TTv


Actual results:

When the select tag is clicked, the panel is blanked and the select tag renders outside the panel.  When an option is selected, the whole tag disappears. 

Note that this behavior worked fine on Firefox 22 but is broken on FF 23. 


Expected results:

When the select tag is clicked, it should render inside the panel and should be selectable.
