Hi Guys,

 I think that my problem is related with this issue. I have a LTSP environment and when my clients access my web based application with Firefox, all comboboxes in any form take almost 2 sec to drop down the options.
In Opera browser the performance is ok.

To reproduce is simple:

1) Save the following html file in any accessible place:

<html>
<body>
<form method="post" action="test.php">
Languages:<p>
<select name="combolang"><option value="python">Python</option>
<option value="php">PHP</option>
<option value="cplus">C++</option>
<option value="pascal">Pascal</option>
<option value="asm">Assembly</option>
<option value="java">Java</option>
</select>
</form>
</body>
</html>

2)Open the html in Firefox over a XDMCP connection, click in the combo and you will see how slow this is.

My LTSP Server: Xubuntu 8.10
$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 8.10
Release: 8.10

$ apt-cache policy firefox
firefox:
  Instalado: 3.0.7+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.10.1

We will have a fix for this?? This issue is very important...
