Description scroggo 2009-01-07 13:51:41 PST 
Without a mouse it is tricky to use listboxes (<select> with multiple="true" or size defined).  I want to treat them as menulists (like normal <select> elements).

iPhone Safari already does this.  I am working on a patch, but if there is already a way to do this, I will follow the established convention.

Do we really need a separate #define for every Android UI quirk?

Instead of using #ifs, it would be much nicer to fix this to work with using "-webkit-appearance: menulist" in  your theme specific stylesheet.

Marking WONTFIX per above comment - I don't think Android browser stylesheet is in webkit.org repository. Please feel free to re-open if you'd like to follow up on this patch.
