183502 - Hover causes previously hidden links to display as blocks, but can not actually click on links

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 102578

(Core :: DOM: UI Events & Focus Handling, defect)

Description

[Brian Martin]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130

using styles like this   "li ul {display: none;} li:hover > ul {display: block;}"  
the li will appear when hovered over, however, attempting to click on a link
within the li will fail. 

I found several bugs related to :hover and :active 
bug 5693 seemed like it referenced a lot of similar cases 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. go to http://www.meyerweb.com/eric/css/edge/menus/demo.html
2. mouseover css/edge
3. attempt to click a link on the menu that appears

Actual Results:  
the display: block <li> tag disappears, apparently returning to it's previous
display: none state
The browser does NOT follow the link that was clicked on

Expected Results:  
the browser should have changed locations to that of the link I was trying to
click on

worksforme, linux trunk build 2002-12-04-05.

Comment 2

[Andrew Schultz]

this is behaving like bug 132592, although this would be the first case of that
bug occuring with purely CSS (not JS).

WFM, day old trunk CVS, Linux. All links in the submenus on the "css/edge" work
fine.

Can you confirm this bug now?  

Comment 6

[Andrew Schultz]

the problem I mentioned in comment 2 not JS/CSS-specific.  actually, quite a few
of the bug 102578 dupes have been reported with the URL mentioned here.
