I just found out that the same problem still exists for drop-down menus,
I can choose a different item from the drop-down items list, although
the form is in read-only state (before the 'edit' button has been
pressed). 

Just like with textareas, textfields and checkboxes, drop-down combos
should not be editable in the PicoLisp Wiki before the 'edit' button is
pressed, since the selections will be lost anyway when the page is
submitted.
