Yes they do. My family's "end users" happen to ;)

But it creates a bug on webpages (and dialogs): if you scroll the list with the 
wheel, and submit (click OK) before the .5 seconds (ok, you have to be fast,
but it can happen), the wrong value will be sent (in those dialogs and webpages
that update their variable when changing the current item, not upon submitting).
