Normally, clicking on a select field (a.k.a. combo box, drop list) will cause the list to drop down immediately. With a :focus style, the first click will only focus and not drop down the list. On the third click, it drops down. This happens only when the page has just been loaded. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Load the test page, http://www.thorslund.us/focustest.html 2. Click on the second select field. Alternatively, make your own test page with the following: Style: select { background-color: #dddddd; } .withfocus:focus { background-color: #ccddcc; border-color: #88dd88; } ...and a Select field: <select class="withfocus" name="field2"> <option>one</option> <option>two</option> </select> Actual Results: It will focus on the field, applying the :focus style, but it won't drop down the list of option elements. To see the list, I have to click two more times. After the list has been displayed, the select field works as expected. To see the problem again, you must reload the page. Expected Results: It should apply the :focus style AND drop down the list, on the first click. Tried this on WinXP also and there is no problem - it will focus and display the list on the first click. So it seems the bug is only in the Linux version. Using the latest build of Firefox (07-Jan-2005) on Linux Mandrake 10.1. Test case at http://www.thorslund.us/focustest.html

Sorry for entering a duplicate. I did try to search for it before filing it, however, but couldn't find any matches for :focus and select. Maybe the search function needs to be improved so that it supports a klutz like myself :-)
