116919 - "mouse over" cursor does not appear if mouse not moved

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 46388

(Core :: DOM: UI Events & Focus Handling, defect)

Description

[Alistair Phipps]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:0.9.7) Gecko/20011221
BuildID:    2001122106

Move the mouse over the "next" link at http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/static/in_depth/world/2001/review_of_the_year/1.stm   and the mouse cursor changes to a hand.  Click the link, and another "next" link appears... however the mouse cursor has changed back to an arrow, and does not change back to the hand until the mouse is *moved* over the new link.  The correct mouse cursor should appear immediately if the mouse is over the link.  (IE6 exhibits the correct behaviour).

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/static/in_depth/world/2001/review_of_the_year/1.stm
2. Click the Next button, and do not move the mouse (I use a trackball)
3. Look at the mouse cursor when the next page appears - it should be over the Next button on the next page

Actual Results:  On the next page, the mouse cursor is an arrow though it is over a link and should be a hand.

Expected Results:  The mouse cursor should be a hand over the link.

Yes, very similar problem, though not quite dupes.  Setting to same milestone.

dup of bug 50511?

Comment 4

[Alistair Phipps]

It's very similar, but that bug just relates to scrolling/app switching on the
same page, whereas this occurs when a new page is loaded.  But yes, any fix
should fix this bug and bug 98114 and bug 50511.

Tested on Linux with build 0.9.8 - same problem.  Changing OS to All.
