90365 - link style stays in hover state after mousewheel scroll causes cursor to leave the hover area

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 78765

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

I've found this to happen on all web pages I've tested this on. If the mouse is 
placed over a link, the link will change to the "hover" style if one is defined 
via CSS. If I then scroll up or down the page using the mouse wheel, the link 
the mouse was over and in hover state before the page scrolls will retain its 
hover style even though the cursor is no longer over the link area.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to a web site with a HOVER state defined by CSS
2. Place mouse over a link so that it changed to the HOVER style
3. Scroll the page by using the mouse wheel

Actual Results:  The link which was previously in hover state stayed in hover 
state even after the cursor left the hover area.

Expected Results:  The link should revert back to it's default style after the 
cursor leaves the hover area.

Moving the mouse over the link and then off the link again without scrolling 
the page will cause the link to revert back to normal.
