checkfielderror.ftl does not highlight select tag errors in yellow

[Peter Wages <pm...@gmail.com>]

 checkfielderror.ftl   of the simple theme   will find field errors
 for   a textfield and  change  the background to yellow.  It will not do so
for
  select tags.   The error message  for the select tags show up so the
theme  knows
about the errors.  It would seem that  the fielderrors array/list   is
removed or disappears.
