Please ignore the attachment, it wasn't intended for this bug.

Reporter: can you still reproduce this problem on a recent build ?

Comment 4

[Vincent Lefevre]

I've just tried with Mozilla 1.1b (build 2002072204) under Linux/x86 and the bug
is still there.

I'm having a hard time reproducing this on WinXP, so WFM.
Could you attach a small screenshot ?

Comment 6

[Vincent Lefevre]

Well, this is just like putting the mouse pointer over a link in the Search
Results. A screenshot won't show anything useful (if you really want to see:
<http://www.vinc17.org/download/test.png>). The window remains open until I move
the mouse pointer over it, and it remains open even if I iconize the document
window.

I've also reproduced the bug under Linux/PPC, build 2002072023.

Something important to reproduce the bug: when moving the mouse pointer, start
with the mouse pointer over the Back button, then go downwards over the "Search
Results" links, but do not go below the last link, then move the mouse pointer
to the right (for instance, up to the right of the document). You must do this
very quickly without thinking of what you're doing; this should take one or two
seconds.

dup of bug 147670?

Comment 9

[Vincent Lefevre]

Perhaps, but in this case, its summary should be changed to make it more general.

[Alexander Opitz]

@reporter:
Does this also happens on new builds?

Comment 11

[Vincent Lefevre]

I can no longer reproduce the bug and I haven't seen it for a long time. It may
have been related to bug 185965.

Maybe the same ... will close this as wfm, as of last comment of the reporter.
