I use jquery to change the background of the dropdown. For some reason, it now takes two clicks to select an item rather than a single click.
What I cannot find out is why this is happening, and an effective workaround or even better fix. It seems like this is happening in ie7 and ie 8 (if a friend tested it on his box) Below is the exact code that we use to test this problem.

<script src="http://ajax.microsoft.com/ajax/jquery/jquery-1.3.2.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<style type="text/css">
.yellowBackground, .yellowBackground > * > *
{
background-color: #FFFF79;
}
</style>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$('select').focus(function() {
$(this).addClass('yellowBackground');
})
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form>
<select>
<option value="A">Option 1</option>
<option value="B">Option 2</option>
</select>
</form>
</body>
</html>
