188894 - tooltip for a link persists (does not disappear) until timeout or click

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 185965

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

Description

[djk]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030112
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030112

When hovering the mouse over a link with a title, a tooltip with the title text
appears.  That tooltip does not disappear until the user clicks, or a timeout is
reached.

This prevents tooltips of other links from appearing until the previous tooltip
disappears. (rather annoying when using bugzilla)

While a link's tooltip is displayed, UI tooltips will appear, but the link's
tooltip will remain visible and shift position when the UI tooltip appears.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. load testcase
2. hover cursor over first link
3. after that tooltip appears, move the mouse off the link

Actual Results:  
The tooltip remains displayed until a click or timeout.

If you hover the mouse over the second link while the first link's tooltip is
there, the second link's tooltip is not displayed.

Expected Results:  
The first link's tooltip should disappear when the mouse leaves the link.

Hovering over the second link should cause that link's tooltip to appear.

There are several bugs about persistant tooltips, but this behavior is a regression.

Also, most of the other 'persistant tooltip' bugs are about tooltips persisting
across page loads and/or task switches.

This regressed somewhere between 2002-12-04 and 2002-12-28.
