A problem with webforms in Firefox.

[Peter Swinkels]

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

Hello,

Each time I click a button on a web form that brings up a file dialog box, a drop down box with texts previously entered for any text box that happens to have the focus at that moment appears on top of the file dialog box. Not only does the drop down box not respond to any input, it also obscures part of the file dialog box and is just plain annoying. I'm not sure how clear my description is, but any way, I attached a screenshot displaying what happens.

 Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue for you. Can you try with the latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.

Yes, it's still in issue in Firefox 3.0.5 running under Ubuntu 8.10.
