1761664 - link status "tooltip" at the bottom of the window persists when watching video - annoying

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1850993

(Firefox :: Tabbed Browser, defect, P2)

Description

[support]

Attachment: Bildschirmfoto vom 2022-03-27 11-27-12.png

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Fedora; Linux x86_64; rv:98.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/98.0

Steps to reproduce:

Watch Netflix

Actual results:

the page url was shown as a sort of tab header in the lower left and lower right corner of the FF window (see screenshot). This also happend in fullscreen, so no theme or user style is responsible for it. It does not happen reliable, as 98.0 has been used without problems with netflix before.

Expected results:

it should not have been visible at all.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Firefox::Theme' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

I don't have netflix but see this on Britbox sometimes. It'd be nice to figure out.

:dao, could you have a look please?

Dão, do you already have a plan for this bug?

What I suspect is happening is that we show a tooltip based on the mouse entering a given link, and then when the user clicks, the display changes (possibly due to fullscreen, possibly because the node itself gets removed) but we never get a mouseout event, so the code in nsXULTooltipListener never tells the tooltip to hide again.

I've seen this happen many times when going fullscreen, so I was planning on hiding the status panel when making that transition. Should be an easy fix. Handling node removal would presumably be much more tricky...?

Hiding when going fullscreen sgtm. Bouncing needinfo :-)
