969634 - <option onclick> fires when opening the <select> (if list is long and opening towards the top)

Status: NEW

(Core :: DOM: Events, defect, P5)

Description

[Thomas Landauer]

Attachment: test-firefox.html

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:27.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/27.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20140127194636

Steps to reproduce:

Requirements:
* <select>-box with at least 21 <option>'s (which means that the <select> gets a vertical scroll bar – at least under Windows)
* 'onclick' eventhandler on the <option>'s (not the <select>!)
* The user needs to have the <select> positioned near the very bottom of the browser window, thereby forcing the <select> box (when opened) to expand towards the top, not towards the bottom
* The user needs to open the <select> by clicking on the text (of the initially shown <option>), not on the arrow-symbol at the right corner of the <select>


Actual results:

'onclick' fires at the last <option>; although the user clicked on no <option> at all (just opened the <select>) or (debatable) on the first <option>.


Expected results:

'onlick' should not fire.

Suspected
Bug 291443. Listboxes should always direct mouse capture to their scrolled frame, to ensure that events reach the DOM event listener. r+sr=bzbarsky,a=chofmann
