204436 - Links from glazman's css popup menus don't work on linux

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 102578

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

Description

[Bradley Baetz (:bbaetz)]

Go to http://daniel.glazman.free.fr/weblog/.
Hover over the links at the otop of the page, and watch the menuds drop down.
Try to click on one of the links
Watch the menu (sometimes) disappear, but nothing else happen

This apparently works on windows. Event related, or something? Glazou got it to
work with double clicking, but I couldn't. Tested gtk1 and gtk2 builds.

This has never worked ofr me, since glazou redid his page a while back, I just
never tested on windows, or mentioned it to him before now. IOW, its not a
regression, I think, or at least not a recent one.

Confirming. Thanks bbaetz.

Comment 2

[Andrew Schultz]

this seems to be a CSS-only version of bug 102578 (there have been a few other
such dupes)

clicking fires mouseout first (cancels the highlight), which seems to confuse
the clicking part.  If I click (=>mouseout) and move the mouse, it reactivates
the "hover" behavior, so clicking again doesn't work.  But if I don't move the
mouse, the second click is successful (since there is no longer a mouseout event
to fire)

marking dupe.
