The same probably applies for iframes. This is not generally the case in desktop applications. Dropdown boxes get their own widget which often goes outside the main application window. This is especially true on Mac OSX where dropdown boxes positioning depends on which item is selected. > At the very least it has to stay visible within the desktop (i.e. not go off > the bottom of the screen), This I agree with.

Again, see above, this is not how desktop applications behave. -- Configure bugmail: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.
