I was referring to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combo_box,
but I see that I am actually talking about <select size=...> option lists.
eg the Components lists at https://bugs.webkit.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=WebKit
or https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=Fedora
(sorry that page is a little slow to load).  There typing
the first letter of components takes one to the next component
starting with that letter in both chromium and midori (and firefox
of course).

Whereas if you go to the Component drop-down on this bug page
(or any other bugzilla bug) it uses <select> with implicit
size="1" which results in a dropdown menu, and
I can't jump to components using their first letter
with either chromium or midori (but it works in firefox)
in this case.

That is the bug I am reporting here.  I hope it is clearer now.

I tested with chromium built with webkit-532.2 (Chrome-4.0.221.8),
and also midori-0.1.10 (webkitgtk-1.1.14).

What version of webkit, which browser and what page are you testing on?
