The above link has a basic drop down which can be opened in different browsers to understand the difference in behaviour of a drop down. So while we enter numeric values form the keyboard into a drop down, it doesnt work, it doesnt auto select two digits pressed. For example, if i press 55 on the keyboard, in IE the value is setting at 55, but in firefox it is getting at 50 and i have to press 5 , five more times to get it to 55.

Is there any way this can be fixed?

I still see this behavior in the current Nightly build, so you can consider to file a bug report.

On my Windows, Google Chrome behaves the same as Firefox. Does yours behave differently?

Is there a standard that applies to how a select control should handle keypresses that are close together (e.g., treat those as a single entry) vs. further apart in time?
