190609 - URL not shown in status bar for links having onMouseOver attribute with "Change status bar text" disabled.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 40838

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

Description

[Linus Ericson]

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

I see there are many bugs reported on onMouseOver issues, but I haven't found
this one.

When having "Change status bar text" disabled in Scripts & Plugin preferences, I
expect to see the URL in the status bar whenever I hover a link. But when a link
has an onMouseOver attribute, the statusbar will only show "Done" in the status
bar when I hover the link.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Disable "Change status bar text" in preferences
2. Hover a link having an onMouseOver attribute
3. See that the URL of the link is not shown in the status bar

Actual Results:  
The status bar does not show the URL of the link.

Expected Results:  
The status bar should show the URL of the link.

I see the same thing on Phoenix 0.5.

disabling the "Change status bar text" pref is not required to reproduce this bug

dupe of 'onmouseover="return true;" --> status bar doesn't show url for links'
