Confirming reported behavior with Mozilla trunk binary 20020617xx.

I found an "i" icon 75% of the way down the page, to the right
of a link called "Fraps 1.8"


<a href="/downloads/fraps.php">Fraps 1.8</a>

<a href="javascript:popupMsg('Customisable hotkeys for screen captures and 
framerate logging. \nFixed a bug and now the counter displays in more games.')">

<img alt="Info" src="http://www.3d-center.de/images/i.gif" width="15"            
height="15" border="0">

</a>


where we have:

function popupMsg(msg)
{
    alert(msg);
}



After the initial load of the webpage, the status bar in Mozilla says

      "Starting Plug-in for type application/x-shockwave-flash"

When I mouseover the "i" link, it changes to 

      "javascript:popupMsg('Customisable     etc. )"

After the alert comes up, if I move my cursor over the modal alert,
the status bar in the Mozilla window changes back to 

      "Starting Plug-in for type application/x-shockwave-flash"


In IE6, the status bar changes to this on mousing over the "i" link:

      "javascript:popupMsg('Customisable     etc. )"

and remains set to this until you dismiss the alert. Mousing over the
alert while it is up does not cause any window.status change.


This is not a JS Engine issue. Reassigning to DOM Level 0 and to
danm, who will know what the proper behavior should be here -

When I move my cursor over the modal alert, the Mozilla icon in the right upper
corner of the browser changes and the Stop button is enabled, as if a page is
loaded.
To see more, open 2 tabs in the browser and move mouse over the alert dialog,
the status shown in the tab above changes to "Loading...".

Eugen: Is this still a problem ?

Comment 5

[Eugen]

Cannot reproduce this problem. The icons, which caused the problem, are not used for some years.
