137412 - Mouse events for link on previous page if mouse is not moved

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

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

Description

[Lasse Marøen]

1.0.0 branch build 2002041306, winXP.

When following a link on this site, the link "sticks" to the next page if the
mouse is not moved. 

To reproduce:

1. Go to http://www.bigbrother.no/
2. Click one of the links in the content area, "les mer >>"
3. Wait until page is loaded, do not move the mouse
4. Right click where the mouse is now
5. Notice that the options in the context menu are for the link on the previous
page.
6. Select "open in new window" to verify that you open the same page as that you
are currently viewing.

Once you move the mouse the context menu items are normal.

Duplicate seems a little strong.  Changing to dependency.

This seems to still be an issue even in a build with the patch for bug 20022 in it.

Though I am testing in a gtk1 Linux build.

Is this bug still relevant or can it be closed by now? The Website (see URL) is down

Comment 9

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

The exact website should not matter here.

Haven't seen this issue for years, and event handling has been rewritten and multiprocess setup changed this all even more.
