User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030312 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030312 Whenever I have a Mozilla window on the secondary monitor of my dual monitor setup (Win2K SP3 ATI Radeon 9000 Driver Version 5.13.6102), the program does not maintain any mouseover states in the chrome or in the page itself. For example, if I move my mouse over the "reload" button it will show its mouseover state for about 1 second and then revert to the default state. This goes for bookmarks on my personal toolbar and any element on a displayed web page that changes appearance on mouse over. When I move my mouse over links on a page, they will be displayed in the status bar for about a second and they go away. If I mouse over an element that changes appearance due to a CSS Hover the hover state goes away after about a second. Even Javascript image swaps only persist for about a second. Also, while it does not affect menus themselves, the same behavior happens with menu selections. They will highlight for about a second and then turn grey (as in not selected) again. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Run Mozilla on a Windows 2000 system with dual monitors. 2. Move the browser window to the auxillary monitor and move your mouse over any part of the browser or webpage that normally changes state when you mouse over it. Actual Results: The element changes to its mouseover state for about one second and then revert back to the default state. Expected Results: The element should keep its mouseover state until the mouse pointer is no longer hovering over it.
I have also noticed this bug under Windows XP. It would seem to only occur, however, when the auxilliary monitor's desktop is not placed to the immediate right of the primary monitor's destop. That is if monitor 2 is arranged to be directly to the right of monitor 1 in display properties, the mouseover state behaves correctly. Any other arrangement results in the behaviour described in this bug.
This appears to be a dupe of bug #135079
