136484 - :hover pseudoclass in non-<a> tags doesn't work when over text

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 5693

(Core :: CSS Parsing and Computation, defect)

Description

[Raj Bhaskar]

Mozilla 0.9.9 (build 2002-03-11-04) on Windows XP, also seen on build
2002-04-02-?? on Win2K.

If you have a :hover pseudoclass in a non-<a> tag, eg p:hover {...} then this
doesn't work if the mouse is hovering over text, only in non-text parts of the
element.  See the given URL for an example.  I'm sure that this must already
exist somewhere in Bugzilla, but I can't find it, so I apologise in advance if
this is a duplicate.
