Steps to reproduce:
1. Middle-click several numbered links links on http://x-3.net/category/teens/.
2. Spend a minute or two looking at the windows you just opened (optional).3.
Close the extra windows.
4. Try to find your spot on http://x-3.net/category/teens/.
5. Go back to step 1.
Actual Result: at step 4, there's no indication of which link was the last one
you followed.
Expected Result: there should be a dotted rectangle around the last link you
followed.

If you tab to a link instead of clicking on it, the focus ring appears (!)
-> events?

Attached file Simplified test case
I've created a simplified testcase (sorry no pictures). 
While creating the testcase I've found that the links that didn't show the focus
has this syntax: <a href=""> <b>text</b> </a>.
Removing the <b> fixed the problem.
Marking as new. Problem still exists with 2001-10-03-03

The problem is actually a little simpler: the anchors with the <b> inside of
them are not getting the :active or :focus rules applied to them. 

Thry this link:

<a href="http://www.mozilla.org/">LINK <b>LINK</b></a>

If you click on the first (non-bold) text, it gets the :active and :focus
applied, but not if you click on the bold text.

This could be an event issue - not sure yet.
mpt - why is this 'surely' layout? If we tab to the link, we display the focus.
If you click we do not. Layout is not responsible for fielding the clicks, and
it is correctly styling the text when we do succeed in getting the focus to it.
I think this is more likely an event issue...

I said `Layout, surely' not because it was surely layout, but because it surely
wasn't Event Handling. I should have been more clear; my apologies.
