Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 102578

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

[Brian Chadwick]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20021003
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20021003

This web site appears to load ok in the linux version of Mozilla. The drop down
menus on the top of the screen behave at first as expected, but when menu items
are clicked nothing happens. I assumed this was due to proprietary javascript or
DHTML, and reported it to the web site maintainer. However the maintainer found
that the site navigation worls as intended on the Windows Version of Mozilla. I
have also tried Mozilla 1.2 (linux) .. it doesnt work, but once again the
WIndows version of Mozilla 1.2 works properly.............Wot the heck is going on?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Navigate to http://www.bribieisland.net
2.Try the menus along the top of the page.
3.Select an item from one of the dropdown menus

Actual Results:  
Windows version : works fine
Linux version: nothing happens

Expected Results:  
i wish i knew :)

The web site designer is keen to have all versions of Mozilla work on this page
and is likely to assist with page source code.

WFM with Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; en-US; 1.3b) Gecko/20030120 

Reporter, you browser pretty old, you should try newest version.

what does JavaScript console show on Linux ? Can you especially point the
differences in JavaScript console output between similar Win & Linux builds ?

Works fine for me on Linux with mozilla cvs 20030115 (1.3a).
Reporter please try a newer nightly build since this appears to be already
fixed.

if I remove the mouseout event in here:
http://www.bribieisland.net/dqm_ns6.js
it works.  the mouseout swaps the highlight which removes the original link that
you tried to click on and so the click gets lost.

dupe of "clicking wrongfully fires onmouseout (linux specific bug)"

a workaround is to fire the real mouseout event with a timer.

Redhat 7.3 Mozilla 1.0.1 (mozilla-1.0.1-2.7.3.i386.rpm) exhibits the problem.

Mozilla 1.2.1 downloaded from mozilla.org exhibits the problem.

In both cases, using Control-LeftClick causes the menu to work as intended.
