Anyone working at Microsoft here?

Please forward these words to the IE developers:
Pretty please fix the f***ing z-index attributes for SELECT/comboboxes. And don't try to make up for your lack of standards compliance by providing worthless, proprietary, half witted, utterly ugly solutions. You can stick your popup where the sun doesn't shine.
Aaaah.. relief. -- This space for rent.

Will anyone answer to this positively in the SoapBox ? (A matter of courage or unconsciousness ?)

So what if the combobox is a windowed component - rewrite it to be non-windowed for christs sake. The Mozilla guys did it. Mind you that many of the Mozilla developers are unpaid developers! <less-serious-and-more-sarcastic-but-yet-not-too-farfetched> I'm fully convinced that there is a conspiracy buried in this bug.

I wasn't and still not expecting an answer. :) But, there's a tiny tiny tiny chance that someone may forward my oppinion to someone who works with IE or close by. Maybe, just maybe, when they hear that someone is really upset about this bug, someone will fix it. I guess I was a bit harsh, but I was literally about to explode when I wrote it. It changed my day from being bad to really bad. -- This space for rent.

Or how about stopping IE from fighting you when you try to type in a URL, or from changing which instance of itself is at the top, or Outlook doing the same ? Talk about user hostile UI design....
