6873	Make rendering of SelectMultiple consistent across browsers	 	nobody	"At the moment the SelectMultiple widget renders without a size attribute. This is ok in Firefox as this browser simply increases the number of visible lines to match the actual number of choices till it reaches 21 or so. IE7 simply displays 4 lines regardless of the number of choices. Opera uses ''one'' line by default. Needless to say this makes the widget even more unusable than it is anyway. One has to scroll and then ctrl+click.

The attached patch changes the render() function to add a size attribute by default that is equal to the number of choices but smaller than 10. Making the display (and usability) equal on all browsers.

The place where this is the biggest problem for me at the moment is the multiple select widget for user groups in the admin. But I believe this is a general problem with the SelectMultiple widget."		closed	Forms	dev		wontfix			Design decision needed	1	0	0	0	0	0
