Details

1) Follow an univisted link on a page.
2) Now use the go menu or the back button to return the first page.

The link colour of visted link will not have changed. If you go to a different
page (instead of step 2) with that link on, the colour will be correct.

Expected:
Visted link colour to change.

Result:
Visted link colour does not change.

Is this related to other history bugs? (e.g. 13329)

I think this code currently is in global history. Giving to waterson.

I'll look at this once webshell is re-written.

troy: it looks like what is happening here is that we are not re-coloring the
link until the anchor receives an event. dp has an internal page that
illustrates the problem in a frameset:

  http://webgroup/~dp/personal/finance

Click on a link in the left-hand pane, but -don't- move the mouse. Note that the
link stays blue. When the page loads in the right hand pane, move the mouse out
of the anchor, and note that its color changes to purple.

oops. reassigned to self. meant to give to you. troy, take a look at the
previous set of comments. looks like anchor colors aren't changing until an
event is received.

Link color is a style issue, and not really a layout issue
*** Bug 23465 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
The original problem was fixed.

I'm going to open a separate bug report for the problem with links not updating 
before the mouse moves. It happens because the nsHTMLAnchorElement doesn't handle 
NS_MOUSE_MOVE.

Marking fixed.
