listbox styles do not work in 48 or 49; used to work in previous version.

When I open a listbox, the font is smaller than the one specified for the listbox. When the listbox is not open, and just showing a value, the font is correct (as specified).

Also, some listboxes have per-item styles (colors, bold, etc.) which should appear when the listbox is open. These per-item styles show up correctly (as specified) in Chrome and IE. In the version of Firefox I was using before version 48, these per-item style also showed up correctly. They do not show up in Firefox version 48 or 49.

I would like to include a screenshot, but cannot figure out how to take a screenshot of an open listbox.

FYI, the PrtScn key (or similar odd spelling) on the keyboard will capture an image of the entire screen to the clipboard without disturbing anything currently displayed. You then can use Paint or another image editing program to extract just the part of the image you want to share. Or you can paste the whole thing onto an image sharing site like the following if there's nothing personal in the picture.

(The built-in print screen function doesn't show the position of the mouse pointer. For that I think you need third party software.)
