201091 - Multiple Monitors: Mouseover states do not persist

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 135079

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

Description

[Rashid Zaakir Muhammad]

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
