WFM - trunk build 2002100604 - WinXP and Phoenix nightly from 5 october.

WFM here too with latest build. Download a newer build and try again.

Just to make sure the links I am referring are the ones that appear
when you hoover the mouse pointer over Internet gateway image for example.

I would love to donwload a new build but nightly build RPM's are not
getting renewed for a long time.

I reported this but I never received a reply.
I also asked for instructions on how to make my own RPM's from
Mozilla's source code but still I have no reply.

Can't use a newer build since I only use RPM packages of mozilla.

the goods are in build/package/rpm.  it would probably be easier to get the most
recent SRPM and steal the contents of the SOURCES and the .spec file.  Then grab
the nightly source tarball and drop it into SOURCES in place of the older file.

the binary builds do not stick their fingers outside the mozilla directory.  You
can download and test a build and then nuke the directory if you don't want it.


some good (bad) news:  I'm seeing this with linux trunk build 20021006.  The
behavior is consisten with bug 132592

Hi.

Just to remind you that this is still happening with linux build 2002111118

Yes. The links I'm saying are the ones when you hoover the mouse pointer over
the image.
But be carefull because if you hit the mouse button on the general image you
will be redirected to another web page. The individual product links that appear
on that pop up (or drop down) menu are the ones who do not work.

This is a duplicate of bug 132592. Each of the images has an OnMouseOver handler
which makes the menu visible, and an OnMouseOut handler which makes it invisible
again. OnMouseOut is firing when the mouse is clicked within the popup menu,
which makes the popup disappear. Mozilla doesn't follow the link because links
are followed on button release, and the link is gone by then.
