1401507 - URL bar dropmarker appears when hovering tabs or toolbar buttons

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1394517

(Firefox :: Theme, enhancement)

The urlbar dropmarker appears whenever I hover the searchbar, a random toolbar button, or a tab. This is distracting (especially with the css transition) as it causes something to move in a place that is unrelated to where my mouse cursor is.

I did some bugzilla and hg archeology and was surprised to see this behavior was intentionally introduced in bug 1211217.

Jared, I assume you wanted this to appear when the mouse is around the urlbar, not when it's over anything in the top of the browser window.

Before your patch we were checking for :not(:hover) on #urlbar which was indeed a small target. Currently (after your patch) we do it on #navigator-toolbox which is a giant target. I think #urlbar-container is a good compromise. Do you agree?
