When a link is clicked on, the 'dotted line' appears fine, outlining the respective link with no problems. If another area of the web page is 'clicked on' in order to unselect the link, when the outline is removed, parts of the line remain having not been fully removed. This has occurred in every version of mozilla I've used since outlining links was introduced. I'm currently using a build from source downloaded on 10th November, though the same problem occurred in M11 (I think also M10) and another download from 1st November.

Rod, I think the outline support was done by you. Please reassign if not the case

This is a view issue, outlines are drawn on the outside of the frame, and this causes some intersting issues for views. If we need to we can disable this - reassigning to patrick

How are you drawing the outline to begin with? If you need it erased, then you should call view->GetParent(parent) and then update the area in the parent view's coordinate system. That's how you draw outside of your own view.

two things (on Linux/intel/Gnome/2000022916): -if you mousover the 'unselected' (or 'deselected') links, the outline goes away. (which seems like good progress) -if switch the focus to another application, then mousover the 'selected' link, the outline DOES go away (which seems wrong)
There's another bug right now covering this one up: bug 25258 (see also bug 21363 which was marked as a dup of it). Marking as dependency. These are two separate issues.
