Yes, the size is defined. But the resulting selectbox would be larger
than {height: 400px; overflow: hidden} allows. This seems to confuse
Chrome when an item is selected, that would be displayed more than 400px
down (if no heigh is given); so immediately after the selection, the
selectbox scrolls up, and the item, that is as far down as in the
scrolled state, is selected.

This *might* be a bug in Webkit. Anyway, it's not a JS specific problem,
so perhaps you'll get better help in another newsgroup.
