Comment 4 for bug 986373

The select box works under ie9, however under ie8 it's impossible to get a selection with the pointer, only by using arrow keys. Those popups are kind of a weird hack to mask the real popup and put a span over with a different styling. Looks like the event is not well trapped under ie, I would suggest to use a javascript solution instead of a tacky css one.
