164952 - Javascript moving the browser window makes menus troublesome (Flash plugin)

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core Graveyard :: Plug-ins, defect)

Description

[Dead2]

Bug is in Mozilla 1.1 release.

http://www.lebonze.co.uk/stuff/move.htm

While viewing the above page, and at the same time attempting to use the
pulldown menus causes problems while navigating the menus. It seems that as the
main window moves, so does the menu "position" but without it moving visually.

In other words the menus doesn't work, because the browser thinks you are
hovering above some other entry than what you are actually.

This is not critical, but quite bad since the user might want to go to another
favorite from the pulldown menu when he's gotten enough of viewing this (or
similar) page.

The page uses a javascript to do the actual movement.

to plugins; this is a flash issue.

I'm not sure there is a whole lot we can do in regard to trying to keep the menu
in sync with the window movement. Once the dropdown is displayed, the sub-menu
works just fine regardless of the movement of the window.

If the entire window is being moved, then we should dismiss the dynamic menu.

It works the same way in IE 6.
