I have system with two monitors.  When I open the browser on the second monitor,
I run into mouse focus/selection problems with almost everything.  Let's say I
go on a link.  The link displays on status bar for less than a second and then
it disappears.

The same problem occurs on Multiple level menu items.  My bookmarks are very
organized with multiple levels.  For example:

Bookmarks > Computers > Programming > Java > API > 1.4 API Reference

MouseOver selection should be highlighted when the pointer is on menu items. 
However, it loses focus...

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Status Bar Problem:
1. Open a browser windows.
2. Cary it onto the NON-PRIMARY monitor.
3. Surf to any website, i.e. mozilla.org
4. Point your mouse to a link.  You'll notice the problem on the Status bar
immediately.

Menu Problem:
1. Go to View > Toolbars
2. Point you mouse onto Navigation Bar.
Actual Results:  
Status Bar Problem:
The link displayed on Status bar for a quarter of a second then it disappeared.

Menu Problem:
The mouse loses focus.

Expected Results:  
Status Bar Problem:
The link should have been displayed on the status bar as long as the mouse
pointed at it.

Menu Problem:
The mouseOver selection should have remained high-lighted.
