Yes, same problem exist with scrollbars - if any element contains srollbars and mousedown event is canceled, scrollbars doesn't works. IMHO bug 9855 could be duplicate to this bug because it is more general.

I am able to reproduce this bug in Safari 16.1 but it matches the behavior with Firefox Nightly 108 as well. Unfortunately, Chrome Canary 110 is broken at the moment, so I am not able to test in it. But here are the results: 1 - Select does not show any drop-down 2 - Select Me - Input Field does not get selection. It is consistent in both browsers. Since we are matching other browsers, do we need to do much here? Appreciate if someone can share input and mark this bug accordingly. Thanks!

Yes, other browsers now match WebKit. Somewhat surprisingly, the behavior is inconsistent - radio buttons, checkbox and the file input still work. I won't be investigating the difference, as there is no problem to fix at this point.
