207718 - Mouseout being triggered when mouse stops moving.

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Joshua]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030529
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030529

The mouseout event is being triggered when the mouse cursor is no longer moving.
This occurs on all web pages and the Mozilla UI. This issue started when I
installed a Microsoft keyboard, this one
(http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/keyboard/nmmk_info.asp) to be exact. A
"Natural MultiMedia Keyboard". 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start Mozilla.
2. Move the mouse over a mouseover object. (button, link, etc...)
3. Halt all mouse movement.

Actual Results:  
The mouseout event is triggered.

Expected Results:  
Mouseout should only be triggered when the mouse leaves and is no longer above
the object.

I also use a "IntelliMouse Explorer"
(http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/mouse/ie_info.asp) as my pointing device. As
of this date, I have installed all known system upgrades. Including Mozilla 1.4
RC, to ensure this bug still exists.

This bug makes is difficult, and sometimes annoying, when trying to navigate
mouse based menus on websites. Usually Javascript or Java based. This issue is
also seen in the Mozilla UI as well.

This only occurs on the second monitor. Where the second monitor is to the left
of the primary monitor.

I have the same problem.  I am using Windows XP on a Toshiba Tecra 8100 with a
SavageMX video card.  I also have a microsoft mouse and keyboard.  This bug
occurs in both Mozilla 1.3 and 1.4.

And this bug occurs only on the second monitor (which is to the left of the
primary).

The mouseout event makes it nearly impossible to open submenus because the menus
will disappear as soon as the mouse stops moving.

Reporter: although I doubt it will fix anything (this issue is pretty specific,
and I can't test it) - could you try with a recent nightly build just to see if
it still happens ? Thanks!
