Mozilla crashes when trying to read the event object from an onmouseout on the
body tag when leaving the mozilla window.
This is demonstrated by the following code (attached as a test case):
<html>
<head>
<title>Crash Mozilla!</title>
</head>
<body onmouseout="alert(event.target.nodeName)">
<p>When your mouse leaves this window, Mozilla will crash.</p>
</body>
</html>
Just as it says, when the mouse leaves the window, Mozilla crashes. If you
change the onmouseover to any other event (onClick for example), no crash
occurs. If you change the event.target.nodeName to something that is NOT the
event.target object, no crash occurs. event.target causes a crash, but event
does not. I am assuming that the problem is in reading what object recieved the
event when the mouse is no longer in the window. I discovered this bug while
testing bug 3140 so I wonder if they are related?
I tested it with the build from July 26, 1999 under both Windows 95 and under
Linux and the same thing happens. In Windows 95 it causes an error in jsdom.dll.
Here is the output from the crash under linux:
vulturex@clutch:~/temp/package$ ./mozilla-viewer.sh

It appears to be resolved now! I tried the October 1st build on Windows 98 and
it no longer crashed. I havn't been able to test the Linux version yet, or the
Win32 version on NT, but I will soon.
I am marking this worksforme. Thanks harishd.
