Details

On Linux only, the Shift key behaves like the Control key when viewing the following HTML: <select multiple name=testcase size=4> <option value=John>John Lennon</option> <option value=George>George Harrison</option> <option value=Paul>Paul McCartney</option> <option value=Ringo>Ringo Starr</option> </select> I would expect the Shift key to select multiple items (ie if John is highlighted, shift-clicking on Ringo should select all 4 items). However, it behaves like the Control key (ie if John is highlighted, shift-clicking on Ringo selects Ringo but not George and Paul). This works correctly on Windows and not at all on Mac OS (see bug 4777 for the Mac info).
