Comment #19 on issue 18408 by schwanny: regression: Dropdown reverts to default value if selected via keyboard http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=18408
I would argue that it is a bug for the sake of consistency. Look at the two procedures below, they provide different results: 1 - Click on dropdown 2 - Hit keyboard key to select item, it then changes 3 - Click anywhere else on the screen In this instance, the item validates and stays at that selected in 2 1 - Click on dropdown 2 - Hit keyboard key to select item, it then changes 3 - Click on dropdown again, it stays at the value from 2 4 - Click anywhere else on the screen In this instance, the item reverts back to the selection from before step 1 The problem is if you are rapidly filling out a form. Say you live in Kentucky. You click on the state dropdown, hit K (selecting Kentucky), and then rapidly click on it again before moving on to the next step. If you are in IE or Firefox, this works with no problems, but in Chrome it fails and leaves you wondering why there was no state chosen. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
