Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

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

Rolling over any javascript rollover or CSS-controlled a:hover correctly
displays rolled-over state if the mouse is moving over the element. Once the
mouse stops, the rolled-over state disappears and reverts back to the normal
state. Also, any link information that displays in the status bar disappears
when you stop!

This happens on almost all websites and can cause major loss of functionality if
the site has DHTML menus (the mouse off event removes the from under the mouse)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Roll over an element that has javascript onmouseover functionality or CSS a:hover
2. Rolled-over state displays as the mouse moves
3. Stopping causes link or image to revert to rolled-off state

Actual Results:  
Rolled off state displayed when mouse stops and status text disappears

Expected Results:  
Rolled over state should be displayed when over element and link information
remains in status bar
