In chrome on OSX something is wrong with the select button.

I have defined this list in my stackscript:

# <udf name="PACKAGES" label="Packages to install" manyOf="Varnish, Nginx, Postgres, Redis, Beanstalk" default="">

It renders like this:



My list however is composed of 5 elements, but as default it only shows 4:



I am not sure if the problem is default styling from Chrome, but I think its size of the list in the view should be the same as the size of the list in the code.

Any thoughts about this?

It's forced to show only 4 at a time (see the size="4" attribute), to prevent the selection box from eating the entire screen with really long options. It scrolls, so you can still access all 5.

It is a UI bug in both Firefox and Chrome apparently: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3173 ... and-chrome

My issue is that it is very easy to forget that there is more to the list, and now you have a server with missing applications.

My issue could be fixed with you adding checkboxes to the User Defined Fields so I could do like this:

- [ ] Varnish
- [ ] Nginx
- [ ] Redis
(etc.)

It could also be fixed with you showing all available options. I don't think people have very long versions of manyOf, but I am not sure.

I think this might be a longer discussion of what you describe, interesting but it doesn't look like it will be changed:

Hey, thanks for the link!

I fear that Linode will be deprecating the Stackscripts in the future, it seems like a good idea, but it also seems like it doesn't get enough love.

There is a lot of small things that could be done to make the deployment of StackScripts easier.
