First select an option. The alert is triggered. Good. Then scroll the select box. The alert is again (and each time) triggered. This is not good. <html> <body> <h2>Test</h2> <p>First select an option, then scroll the select box.</p> <select size="5" onchange="alert('changed')"> <option>a</option> <option>b</option> <option>c</option> <option>d</option> <option>e</option> <option>f</option> <option>g</option> </select> </body> </html> Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: From http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/interact/scripts.html#h-18.2.3 The onchange event occurs when a control loses the input focus and its value has been modified since gaining focus. This attribute applies to the following elements: INPUT, SELECT, and TEXTAREA.
Edwin, you are using a 3+ months old build. The guidelines "bug writing guidelines" http://www.mozilla.org/quality/bug-writing-guidelines.html recommend a 3 days old build for reporting bugs. "be sure that you've reproduced your bug using a build released within the past three days. Our development process moves at lightning speed, and the bug you've found may already have been fixed." Also, you should have searched for a duplicate. Here, bug 207637 description meets exactly this bug description. If the problem was still happening with a recent build, then requesting to reopen bug 207367 was the thing to do. Finally when you want to submit a reduced testcase (and this is welcomed), best is to use the "Create a New Attachment" link to do this. FWIW, your testcase WFM with Mozilla 1.5 build 20031007, XP Pro SP1.
