The mouse-over features doesn't work right when there's a dual monitor
configuration, and when the browser windows is located on any monitor other than
the primary. The card is a nVidia MX440 based card with dual video output, and I
do use the dual monitor configurations. By mouse-over, I mean the highlights
such as in the toolbar bookmark listings, the java-enabled web pages with
highlights. The problem is that the highlight won't stay constant, and will
highlight for just one second and disappear unless the cursor moves again. This
does not happen when the browser window is in the monitor designated as
"primary" in the display control panel, nor does this happen at all with IE.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. locate window away from primary monitor
2. open any bookmark folder on toolbar
3. highlight a bookmark within the toolbar folder.. if the highlight disappears,
try moving mouse cursor.

Actual Results:  
the highlight will not stay steady. This is also apparent with just any
mouse-over function of websites, java or non java. For example, you can just
mouse over a link, and the link's URL won't stay at the status bar, but only
appearing temporarily as short as the other mouse-over effects.

Expected Results:  
The mouse-over effects should have stayed steady as it does on the primary
monitor, instead of failing to work on the other monitors. It's problematic on
sites whose menu system is based on mouse-over responses.. Without a consistent
mouse-over register, the menu barely shows up.
I can confirm this on my second monitor using a Radeon 9700

I am also experincing this problem with my dual monitor setup using nightly
build 1.4: 2003051408
I can confirm on the same setup as original poster. No :hover elements work,
including XUL interface widgets like menus and toolbar buttons. It highlights
for just a fraction of a second and then unhighlights.
I also have the same problem
highlights dissapear but clicking still works.
The only place this does not work is in the location bar menus, history and search.
the only way to get this to work is to click and drag horizontally across, then
let go.

layer message displays and window status do not display unless the mouse is moving. 

Confirm all of the above for Matrox Millennium G400 DualHead... This appears to
be a generic problem with secondary monitors.
