Original status: 5-Cause Known; Suggested Status: NEW Original Target Release: mako_dev; Suggested Target Milestone : Dev These items should be added to the Keywords: RELNOTE Description: Testing using 10/6 kit Steps: add a drop-down via style editor enlarge the font and set the font color > firefox shows color, but doesn't enlarge drop-down size and so font is clipped > explorer shows font size ok, but doesn't show color Evaluation: These appear to be known limitations in both browsers (Google turns up several articles on the topic). The solution, in both cases, is to have style settings for font reduplicated on each individual HTML option element within the HTML select element. The renderer can be modified to do this, but it is tricky: you need to carefully parse the style setting on the component, to filter out positioning and size settings. Workaround: There is no convenient workaround for this.
