Re: GWT App -- Firefox 20 regression?

I hit an issue this afternoon where I have an unexplained issue with a select where I can't select any of the options in it, and it seems like the handler isn't even being called (or isn't triggering the debugger in Eclipse, anyway), in either dev mode or after deployment in regular browser usage (including in FF safe mode, which disables all the plugins). This is true in FF20, but not in FF19. 

It's only one select out of many in our application, so there are clearly complicating circumstances, it's not just "select controls don't work in FF20/GWT", but it's odd to me that it works in FF19 and doesn't work in FF20. Since I don't have any idea of the cause yet, I'm not sounding alarms, but I thought I'd put a placeholder in here in case anyone else is experiencing a FF19/FF20 regression and is farther along in their analysis than I am.

I'm having a hard time pinning this down; I can make it go away by resetting my firefox profile, but it comes back. I haven't reproduced it on another machine, but since I don't have a known sequence of steps that I use to trigger the problem, I'd probably have to use another machine as a primary machine for a while to see if that helps.

I can trigger this with a simple jsfiddle test:

Unfortunately, this test works fine on a clean install of Firefox, or after resetting the profile, so if you're not already experiencing the problem that I'm experiencing, you probably won't experience it by visiting that page.

I've posted to the Mozilla questions site to see if anyone there is encountering it:

Anyway -- I don't have any real answers to what's going on, and I don't feel like I'm making a lot of headway on figuring out the cause, so I'm probably going to just go back to FF19 for now, but I thought I'd post an update in case someone else experiences this.
