Description

[Erik Günther]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030102

I'm working an a theme to phpwiki and was planing to use menus. To view the
menus  I use a javascript that change visibility to visible. That part works
fine with both onMouseOver() and onClick(). But the links in the menu don't work
at all when I view the menu with onMouseOver() but they work fine when I use
onClick(). I open the same menu with the same function in both cases.

I http://as2-2-6.ld.bonet.se/~erikg/noworking.html I have an exampel with
onMouseOver() and http://as2-2-6.ld.bonet.se/~erikg/working.html with onClick().
I have also notice the same error on www.nvidia.com. And galeon 1.2.7 also have
the same error. So I prety serten that I'm have programed right and there are a
 one more bug in Mozilla :/ 


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make a webpage with hidden menus that gets visual with onMouseOver() or look
at the link above.
2. The links in the menus don't work.



Actual Results:  
The menu just dissaper and nothing more

Expected Results:  
Try to load the link.

WFM on WinXP with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.3b)
Gecko/20030104. Menu appeared and then links loaded so I could move throu
working and non-working pages through it.

WFM with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130.

After loading the URL and when moving mouse pointer onto "Menu >>>", box appears
including three links in table. I can choose a link and Mozilla loads
working.html. Also working.html seems to work fine.

the 'not working' case is bug 132592 (clicking fires mouseout, which closes the
menu out from under the pointer before the click event fires)

the 'working' case actually doesn't work at all (mouseout from the menu does not
close menu).  after debugging it a bit, it appears that the script confuses
Mozilla (or perhaps Mozilla confuses the script) and the tracking in menu[m]
gets messed up.

dupe of "onMouseOut triggered by mouse click prevents menu from working"
