This works fine for me on Windows, but it's broken on the Mac and on Linux. Sample page at http://schist/4777.html.
Priority: P3 → P1
This is blocking QA automation on Mac and Linux. Priority changed to P1.
Pierre, please reassign to Ramiro when it is fixed on Mac.

Fixed, although other problems remain on the Mac (like the scrollbars that don't work). Reassigned to Ramiro to fix the Unix case.

I can do multiple select with or without shift. The behavior is not identical to windows, but multiple selection seems to work. marking fixed.
i tried this on redhat 5.2, build 1999-05-06-08; using the same testcase, click on the first option, hit shift, then click on the fourth option. this should end up selecting all four options. instead, only the first and fourth options are selected. is this a different bug, or should i reopen this?
Status: RESOLVED → REOPENED

I'd say reopen this bug.

Sounds like a pavlov widget bug.
Marking M8. If you plan to fix any of these for m7, mark them so.

this is not the old behavior in netscape 4.x under unix and i don't believe i've ever seen anything behave as this under unix. we're going to be using gfx widgets anyways.
Reassigning to crkritzer for comments. Judging by Nav 4.x behavior on Unix, this is actually working as intended (although IMHO it's not correct). Chris?

Hmmnnn.... Okay, after reading through the comments, here's what I've determined: 1) Original bug on MacOS to have multiple selection of menulist has been fixed 2) A multiple selection bug that was similar (on linux) was noted and not opened as a separate bug. 3) Re-opened bug was not same as 4.x version, and bug set to WONTFIX. Okay, well, the orginal bug has been fixed. The second item I don't see as a bug, since it behaves the same on all platforms (Platform Parity). Verified Fixed in apprunner build 1999070908.
