173068 - Mouseover is not recognized when Mozilla is on secondary monitor

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 141599

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Andrew Cheng]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020826
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020826

I think this is similar to Bug 41766, but it only happens on my secondary
monitor.  When I try to go into sub-menus, the menu item highlights briefly, but
then unhighlights.  The sub-menu will not expand out.  Other menu items
(copy/paste etc...) do not remain highlighted when the mouse is over them either.

When I'm browsing webpages, if I put the cursor over a link, the cursor will
blink to indicate that it is a link shortly, but then reverts back to the
pointer style arrow.  The status bar will also change shortly to show the URL
that is liked to the hyperlink, but then reverts back to "Document: Done (x secs)"

If I move mozilla over to the primary monitor, none of these problems occurs. 
Only when on the secondary monitor do the problems show up.  Note that clicking
still works and that if I click the sub-menu, it does indeed expand.  Menus and
links refuse to stay highlighted (If a link is set to turn bold on mouseover etc).

The hardware is an ATI Radeon 9000 with a DVI flatpanel and a CRT hooked up.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Move mozilla to secondary monitor
2. Move mouse over any hyperlink or expandable menu
3.

Actual Results:  
Expandable menus do not expand, and hyperlinks do not remain highlighted as if a
mouse were over it.

Expected Results:  
Menus should expand, and links or menu items should remain highlighted when the
cursor is over them.

Will change colours of my backround on either monitor.

Reopen if you can produce a test case please.

reopening. there are too many of these, and they keep being reported.
I haven't found an exact dup yet. Possibly a "negative coordinates" bug
regression of sorts? One of the fixed ones was about that.
