FF Mac: scrollable combos have no scrollbar

Description

Firefox 1.507 and 2.0
Mac OSX 10.4.8

Scrollable combos (format, size) have no scrollbar. They can still be scrolled using the mouse wheel, but that is tricky on a iBook...

Works fine on windows.

See attached image.

update: this behavior only appears when the editor is created inside a div with style="display:none"

up: this is triggered also by hiding and showing the editor *after* it has been created, so it is not only related to it being created hidden (004.html in _testcases exhibits this bug, when you click the "Show Editor" button)

Hiding and showing parts dynamically is common practice with modern web applications, and not having a scrollbar makes users think there's nothing more to choose from (that's how I looked at this issue, using the mouse wheel, I didn't even noticed the scrollbar wasn't there).

I hope someone can think of a work-around.

Confirmed with FF2. As described, it is reproducible only with _testcases/004.html. The normal samples doesn't show this behavior.

Certainly a FF bug... quite weird though, and therefore difficult to fix.

I don't see many chances to fix it at our side. I'm targeting it to the 2.6, so we can properly report the bug at Bugzilla.

I found a kludge that seems to fix the issue on Mac OS X 10.5.1 + Firefox 2.0.0.11.

That one was good Martin. I would never arrive to it. There are just some minor things that could be enhanced in the code. I will be attaching an updated patch to it.

The proposed patch doesn't use the "me" hack by making use of the FCKTools.RunFunction function. It also limits the kludge execution to FF on Mac only, to avoid unneeded stuff on Windows.

Feel free to review it Martin, committing it directly if it sounds good.
