Reporter, it would help if you set up a test page, rather than quoting your HTML & JS here.
Probably a duplicate of bug 92333
I've added a URL that has the test code on it.
Yea, this is because the SELECT has a native scrollbar, and when we hide the containing DIV we just set the view to hidden, but that is not hiding the native widget for the select. I'm not sure if we can fix this, but fortunately we are changing the form controls to XBL so we won't have native scrollbars. Reassigning to formcontrols, but probably won't fix. NOTE: the same problem exists for a Plugin - it has a native widget too.
