You misunderstand. I don't expect a Linux user to understand video driver internals. But I do expect a developer using OpenGL to have some grasp of the situation once he runs into a problem. I strongly urge you to learn and understand the tools you are using. It's what makes all the difference between a good developer and a great developer. There's nothing wrong with the issue you reported. Nobody is asking you to send patches. (Though that would be nice.) But you've already added a small test case, so that's excellent. There are always things you can do to get a better understanding. For example, take AngularJS out of the equation. Turns out, you can add options to a select element and everything's fine. Only once you set the select value, does Firefox flip the highlighted item.
