>The problem is if it is left there and I start trying to scroll with my mouse wheel, windows start opening up, and IE just goes freaking crazy. This is because the dropdown still had focus and I am wheeling through the choices. You can still see this behaviour [but not as radical] in other dropdowns.

After reading this, Mark, I tried a few things. Scrolling the wheel with the pointer on the dropdown box causes that behaviour when that box has focus NO MATTER WHICH LINE is showing. I say this even though I can't really test it, because I get the behaviour even when it sits at More:. So I guess no matter where it was it would still do it.

In other words, if this has been done deliberately (always reset back to More:) to fix the shortcoming in IE (wheeling fires whatever), then it doesn't work anyway. So I think that it should be revised as originally suggested and that people simply have to learn to NOT WHEEL through that control.
