Description Devin Chalmers 2005-06-21 13:02:31 PDT
A multiple-select box is wired up with Javascript to submit its form to an iframe on the same page when 
the user selection is changed. However, the Safari command-click behavior of loading form submissions in 
a new tab prevents Safari users from selecting multiple discontinuous entries in either <select> box. 
Instead of loading in the iframe, the form submission loads into a new tab.

The bug appears when holding command and clicking, as well as with a middle-click on a three-button 
mouse and the default Tiger mouse settings.

I guess the iframe isn't really relevant, I can imagine situations where a multiple selection would submit a 
form to the main viewport and this behavior would still be undesirable. Should the command-click new-
tab(/new window) behavior be modified on multiple selection boxes?

Confirmed, weird stuff :)

This issue was resolved in r17597, however it is considered as a regression -- see bug 11858.

My fix for bug 11858 does not re-introduce this bug, so we can mark this as fixed!
