Hello,

Sorry if this is a duplicate bug, or under the wrong category, but I'm
experiencing these problems in Windows XP only. Under Windows 2000 and Linux,
everything behaves as I would expect. That's why I'm filing a new bug here.
These problems have occured in Mozilla 0.9, 1.0, and 1.1 on this same
computer--but when I loaded 1.1 on Windows 2000, and 1.1 on Linux, no problems.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Hover over any link. 
2. Hover over any link that has text in a "title=" attribute.
3. Right-click in a frame and attempt to view frame source.
Actual Results:  
1. Status bar flashes the URL, but immediately reverts to "Document: Done".
2. No tooltip text appears (it does in other OS's).
3. Context menu appears, but you cannot expand sub-menus, such as "This Frame
->", either by hovering or clicking on them.

Expected Results:  
1. URL appears in status bar and stays there until mouse leaves link.
2. Tooltip appears for specified period of time.
3. Sub-menu expands, items highlight when you roll over them.

I've looked for relevant preferences and bugs, but haven't found any that seem
to address this issue. Perhaps there's some setting I've missed? If so, I highly
apologize, and hope someone will direct me to the solution. But this is making
it hard to use Mozilla on my main machine--and I otherwise think Mozilla is great...

Cheers,
John

Status bar changes properly, Tooltips appear, Submenus cascade fine.

Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling Mozilla? I've had that fix a few
weird issues.

Well, I had reinstalled Mozilla 3 times, upgrading versions...

But I deleted my profile, and the new one works fine. Must've been some odd 
leftover setting in my old Netscape profile or something.

No problem, now. Thanks for the tip, sorry to waste bandwidth here...

It's back...

Actually, now what's happening is the first time I open Mozilla after 
rebooting, the mouseover/mouseout events occur as they should. But after 
visiting a frameset page (my email web page, which is Squirrelmail on an 
internal server) and clicking a link in one frame that loads content in 
another frame, the onmouseout event seems to fire before the mouse leaves the 
element. Hovering over hyperlinks, the status bar flashes the link URL, and 
then immediately goes to "Document Done(0.xxx seconds)".

Thereafter, the mouseout event fires too early in all Mozilla windows, inside 
frames, tabs, or nothing. Closing and restarting Mozilla has no effect. Only 
rebooting resets the behavior.

Again, this only happens on Windows XP Pro (the same page viewed from Mozilla 
on Win2K and Linux does not reproduce the bug). I've tried 
removing/reinstalling Mozilla (no effect) and deleting the profile (which made 
the problem go away temporarily).

Is there some file I should attach to aid in troubleshooting this?
