Description Ben Root 2009-11-04 02:23:27 UTC 
You may duplicate this functionality by opening the New York State Board of Elections Voter Registration Form at
http://www.elections.state.ny.us/NYSBOE/download/voting/voteform_enterable.pdf

All of the form elements seem to behave correctly except for the Select form element used for selecting the county which you currently live in. When clicking on it you can scroll through the options but upon clicking on one it will only select the top most element. This bug leaves the element unusable.

This bug was originally reported in the Ubuntu bug forums at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evince/+bug/473005

In addition, I would like to add that the scroll bars for the item selection can get in the way of the selections because the form element does not drop down.  Only if you zoom in can there be enough room to see the option values.

It's a poppler issue, I've just forwarded it to freedesktop bugzilla:
