You can see this at http://www.expofusion.com while it's still in demo mode. Use the default logon, and then go to http://www.expofusion.com/msgsys/session.jsp
A workaround for this bug is to add "position:relative;" to the style attribute of the <div>.

PLEASE change this milestone to 1.0, this breaks our site. I imagine this construct must be on more than a handful of sites besides ours. I thought regressions had a high priority? BTW, the link I provided earlier now uses TBODY's overflow style to scroll. We'd use it everywhere if !@#$ IE didn't blow up on it.

This bug is nasty, but at least the "position:relative" helps as workaround. Should realy make it into 1.0 !

I just found this bug last night, took 3 hours to track it down the overflow element. Very nasty bug, and I'm seeing the overflow used more and more. Any time estimate on when we can expect a fix?

The "position:relative" does not help at all. In all pages I have a DIV with overflow:auto I tried to add "position:relative" on the style parameter of the DIV element but it does not work. I am using Mozilla 1.0 (Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020530) The only workaround that worked was: If the DIV is inside other DIV, a TABLE or a combination of both, I took out it from that elements and place it at almos top-level of HTML document, before the </body> tag and add "position:absolute; top: y; left: x" where x and y are the horiz. and vert. position in the current frame. Example: <html> ... ... <body> <div ...> <table> <tr><td><!-- The div with a select element was here previously --></td></tr> </table> </div> <!-- Now the DIV is here, out from TABLE or DIV and it WORKS --> <!-- I set its position with top and left --> <div style="position:absolute; top: 100; left: 40;" id="gridDOC"> <!-- Inside DIV here --> </div> </body> </html>
Partially WFM in Mozilla 1.1 Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020826 I have no trouble clicking the dropdown list for the first time. Sometimes, not always, after selecting an option, I have to click elsewhere on the document before I can select another option (i.e. have the list drop down again). Another supposed testcase, http://members.iinet.net.au/~xions/dev/test/mozillaform.html WFM all the time.
This bug needs to be resolved still. A select box inside a div style=overflow:auto still does not work. This bug's last activity was last year.
Testcase WFM with Mozilla 1.3, Windows 2000.
This was bug 115253, and has been fixed for over six months now. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 115253 ***
