Bug 181527 – Wrapper for a <select multiple> with overflow won't scroll

• Status: NEW
• Component: Forms

[Igor Shevchenko]

Example: http://jsbin.com/dasowayeka/1/edit?html,output

Steps to reproduce: 
- create a block element with fixed dimensions and overflow set to 'scroll' or 'auto'
- put <select multiple> with big enough number of <option> elements into that block element, set its 'size' attribute to number of options to avoid <select>'s own scroll bar

Expected behavior:
Wrapper may be scrolled to view all the options in the <select>

Observed behavior: 
Scroll with trackpad/wheel doesn't work. There is no way to view the scroll bars, unless 'Show scroll bars' is set to 'Always' in 'System Preferences > General'.

I am not able to reproduce this using Safari 16.5 and when changing system setting to only show scrollbar when scrolling or based on mouse / trackpad. It still scrollbars vertically and horizontally.

I think we can close this as "RESOLVED CONFIGURATION CHANGED" but would appreciate if someone can check on older supported OS as well. I tested it on macOS Ventura.
