From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win95; en-US; rv:0.9.9+) Gecko/20020306 BuildID: 2002030604 The dynamic menus near the top of the page (e.g. "Sports") appear correctly on top of the banner ad. However, when trying to select a menu item, if the mouse cursor moves over the underlying banner ad, the menu disappears. This makes the menus largely unusable. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald/living/columnists/dave_barry/2779904.htm 2. Hover over "Sports" until the dynamic menu appears. 3. Try to select the "Columnists" menu item. Actual Results: The menu disappears. Expected Results: The menu should not disappear. The user should be able to click on menu items. This was originally discussed under Bug 121802 but is now being filed as a separate bug. When using an older build (2002020406 / Moz 0.98), the banner ad always remained on top of the menus. So the layout has improved since 0.98, but the menus are still unusable.
WFM in the March 8th build (2002-03-08-03). Please try with a newer build.

I still see this problem using 2002031103 on Win95. Although it was mentioned in the title for the bug, I should perhaps be more explicit in saying that the banner ad seems to be Flash. So this problem is possibly not evident unless the Flash plugin is installed.
And now with Moz 0.99 (2002031104) and the Flash plugin, I still see this problem. Reopening. (I hope that's okay; I'm pretty new here...)

Reporter, The content of the page has changed so I can't reproduce in the latest build (2002-05-03-09). Can you try with a newer build ?
