1022223 - onmouseout never fires on html5 notifications (alert.xul)

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core :: DOM: Events, defect)

Description

[deltaburnt]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; WOW64; rv:32.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/32.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20140606030206

Steps to reproduce:

On the latest Ubuntu, define an onmouseout event on a XUL document like alert.xul (the document that specifies how HTML5 notifications appear). Happens within a virtual machine (Ubuntu) and native install of Linux (Raspbian).

If you need any easy way to test this you can install my WIP extension: https://github.com/deltaburnt/BetterNotifications

Set alert display time in the options to about 10000, hover over a new notification and notice that the progress bar to the left stopped, then hover out and it doesn't continue. This is because onmouseout event is not firing.


Actual results:

The event is never fired.


Expected results:

It works perfectly on Windows as far as I can tell, and it appears to just never call the event I define.

Could you perhaps attach a _minimal_ testcase

What is the optimal way of doing this? Would a small bootstrapped extension that creates an alert or console log in onmouseout work?

I guess that would work.

It appears it actually is calling the function, it's just my tests were flawed. For some reason I couldn't log to console from those events. Sorry to waste your time.
