zope.testbrowser dropdown list item click toggles it

[Adam Groszer]

zope.testbrowser *dropdown* list item .click() toggles the selected status of the item.
While in a real browser a dropdown item is not toggleable, just selectable.

That means the following makes hrmanager.getControl(name='form.employmentType').value == [] when then value was ['permanent'].

  >>> hrmanager.getControl(name='form.employmentType')\
  ... .getControl(value='permanent').click()

That is I think bad.

--------

The problem is that in zope.testbrowser.browser,
class ItemControl(SetattrErrorsMixin):
...
    def click(self):
        if self._browser_counter != self.browser._counter:
            raise zope.testbrowser.interfaces.ExpiredError
        self.mech_item.selected = not self.mech_item.selected

does not care about the control type
