10959 - status bar: showing link URL on mouseover of link affects display of page content

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(Core :: CSS Parsing and Computation, defect, P3)

Description

[ekrock's old account (dead)]

M8 1999071417 on WinNT 4.0 SP3.

To repro:
1) go to url
2) mouseover "width" link

Expected:
- URL of link target displayed in status bar; no effect on visual display of
page.

Actual:
- URL of link target displayed in status bar, but part of gray colored
background of positioned DIV extends to right as a side effect.

Additional:
- If you mouse over the "height" link, something similar occurs; colored gray
background of DIV extends down to bottom as a side effect.

Suspect this is a DUP or known bug.  If you want a simplified test case, let me
know.
