289719 - [FIXr]statusbar fails to report status on mouseover until output window is selected

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: DOM: Events, defect, P1)

Description

[Felix Miata]

Apparent regression window for Linux & OS/2 trunk:
http://bonsai.mozilla.org/cvsquery.cgi?treeid=default&module=all&branch=HEAD&branchtype=match&dir=&file=&filetype=match&who=&whotype=match&sortby=Date&hours=2&date=explicit&mindate=2005-04-06+10%3A00%3A00&maxdate=2005-04-07+04%3A00%3A00&cvsroot=%2Fcvsroot

To reproduce,
1-Open Chatzilla & at least one channel
2-Mouseover some channel output

Actual behavior:
1-Statusbar reports "Welcome to Chatzilla!"

Expected (previous) behavior:
1-Statusbar reports status, such as timestamp and query info, or a URI

Note - once an output window has been focused with a mouse click, the statusbar
behaves as expected for that channel.

This is a regression from bug 288873.  The problem is that the ESM sets its
mDocument pointer lazily for some reason I cannot fathom.

Is bug 289539 somehow related to this bug?

Comment 4

This happens in the browser too, not just CZ - must click the page before any
links show in the statusbar.

This is a very safe fix for some mouseover/hover regressions... I think we want
this for 1.8b2.
