Steps to reproduce: 1. Go to http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/query.cgi. 2. Focus one of the drop-down menus (<select size="1"> elements). 3. Hit alt+down to drop down the menu. 4. Scroll the page and try again. Result: at step 3 and/or step 4, the menu will appear in a random location on the screen, usually far away from the <select> but sometimes covering it. Expected: the menu should appear in the same place it would have if you had used the mouse to open the menu.

*** Bug 111623 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

The dropdown appears at the spot where the select used to be before it was scrolled.... and this happens on Linux too.

When viewing this problem, one needs to make sure their browser can scroll vertically.

any help would be great

This is a "wait for XBL select" thing.

This is a major issue and is still happening with build 2002020103, adding keyword nsbeta1

This should be fixed when we switch to XBL form elements. Marking nsbeta1-. Moving to Moz1.1

Adding testcase keyword.

over to terri, per conversation w/her...

I am unable to reproduce this. Attempting to scroll closes the dropdown select before actually scrolling. Is this still a problem?

Yes, this is still a problem. The point is to hit alt-down again after scrolling, and watch where the dropdown opens.

nsbeta1+

nsbeta1-. John is overloaded with higher priority issues.

I think it's using absolute screen coordinates. If I maximize the window and don't scroll it works.

Yes, it is using absolute screen coordinates.

John may be overloaded with higher priority items, but this should be reassigned, not minused. It's a significant problem for accessibility and usability.

Anyone who wants to take this in the near future may and should. I will be messing with <select> heavily in the 1.4 timeframe and if I touch this code I'll fix it, but since the dropdown shows up and can be interacted with, the priority of this is not so high.

topembed- until we get a specific customer unfortuantely. It is something we should try to get fixed if anyone has cycles.

surely this is not tables...

This just moves some code from ShowDropDown to ShowList where it will be found by ToggleList when necessary.

Have patch
