When you click the drop-down, arrow, the colors are displayed fine, but when the drop-down is "closed", it doesn't display the color Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. The backgound color in the drop-down should be black 2. Click on the arrow 3. Select the 2nd entry 4. The first color should turn black (it wasn't when the drop-down opened because the blue selection changes the actual color displayed) 5. Hover over any color and click to select it Actual Results: The background color in the drop-down is white Expected Results: The background color in the drop-down should have been the color you selected Works in IE; Happens in both firefox and in mozilla 1.7 and TRUNK.

The background is set on the option in that testcase, not on the select. The select itself always shows the select's background... *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 79107 ***
