STR: 1. go to https://blogs.microsoft.com/ai/ai-powered-captioning/ 2. scroll to social footer thing, try to click on twitter or fb icon ER: i get a new tab or window so i can create amazing social media content AR: nothing I've reduced the page to the following: <!DOCTYPE html> <title>click the bird</title> <style> div { display: flex; } a { position: relative; display: inline-block; } a:before { content: ""; display: block; position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; right: 0; bottom: 0; } a > img { opacity: 0.6; } a > img:active { opacity: 1; } </style> <p>click the bird, pass if a new window/tab is opened</p> <div> <a title="Follow on Twitter" href="https://twitter.com/intent/follow?original_referer=https%3A%2F%2Fblogs.microsoft.com%2Fai%2Fai-powered-captioning%2F&amp;screen_name=msftresearch" target="blank"> <img src="ai_files/twitter-gray.png" alt="Twitter"> </a> </div> Removing any of the CSS rules will end up with expected results.
Daniel, do you know of any bugs to dupe this against?

Do you know if this is a regression? This may very well be the same underlying issue from bug 1473108.

(In which case it's great news, because that one is significantly harder to debug)
Ah, maybe not the same, since we don't have something like a:active::before { .. }

I can reproduce this (using "reduced testcase 2" at least) in builds as far back as 2009-11-02 (version 3.7a1pre) So, not a regression. :)

It seems not the same issue with bug 1473108, in this case, the EventStateManage doesn't dispatch click event because it thinks the mouse down and up are not over the same element.

(In reply to Edgar Chen [:edgar] from comment #10) > the mouse down and up are not over the same element. We get the different elements for mouse down and up in [1], - mouse down: the image element - mouse up: the anchor element [1] https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/29aea2a2a3bd0f5e25ce0b60a76053fb25ba5149/dom/events/EventStateManager.cpp#4888

I now get expected results in both test cases, and on the site. Yay?
