RadDropDownList will not select unless I click on text

[Jon]

I have many dropdowns in my webform application and they all behave correctly except on one page. On the page in question the dropdown behaves differently

• If I click on the arrow the dropdown list appears
  • as I move the mouse it will highlight an item only when the mouse is hovering over the actual text in the list
• If instead of the arrow I click on the control to get a dropdown the dropdown will only appear if I click an area where text exists.  
• When trying to make a selection this will only happen if I click the area of the highlighted row where text exists.
• If I just click a highlighted row with the mouse pointer over a clear bit of highligting it will not select.

Any ideas why this may be happening?

Further investigation shows that this is restricted to IE (8 in my case). Firefox and Chrome are fine.

Fixed... when changing the markup from a previous design I have left a <contextTemplate> set of tags within the RadAjaxPanel that contained these RadDropDownLists. Removing the tags fixed the issue.
