Firefox still uses a motif-styled dropdown box

[Pascal de Bruijn]

Binary package hint: mozilla-firefox

In pages like this:

http://www.pdf-tools.com/asp/products.asp?name=VALS&type=shell

Firefox stil renders motif-style downdown boxes:

I think the following HTML code is triggering this (though I'm no expert):

<select class="cbb2" style="width:42" ...

This is inconsistent behaviour.

Thank you for reporting this bug. Which version of firefox do you use?

[Pascal de Bruijn (pmjdebruijn)]

Sorry, I'm using an up to date hardy.

firefox 3.0~b4+nobinonly-0ubuntu1

Distrowatch has this as well:
http://distrowatch.com/

This HTML code is most probably causing it:
<option selected value="">Select Distribution</option>
<option value="2x">2X</option><option value="64studio">

Can you please make sure this isnt already filed upstream and if it is please provide link if not please report it and provide link.

We were wondering if this is still an issue for you. Can you try with the latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.

[Pascal de Bruijn (pmjdebruijn)]

This is still an issue, with Ubuntu Karmic, tested with Firefox 3.5.3.

See the dropdown boxes on the lower part of the page near "3-Heights PDF Validator Shell". These boxes are Motif style, not GTK style.

It's no longer visible on the pdf-tools page, since they have revised their site...

It's still visible on distrowatch... I've attached a screenshot.

Tested on Ubuntu Lucid, using:
firefox 3.6.3+nobinonly-0ubuntu4

I can't reproduce it with Firefox 16 which should be available in Lucid. Can you please retest, I can't because I am on a newer Ubuntu version. Thank you!
