Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 141599

(Core Graveyard :: GFX: Win32, defect)

When mozilla is placed in a secondary monitor, mouse hovering does not work. 
For instance, when clicking on a menu and moving the mouse down over a menu
option, it does not stay highlighted.  Rather, it is highlighted while the mouse
is moving, but it is unhighlighted immediately when it stops.

This happens for onHover events in pages, hovering over menus or buttons, and
just about anything that detects when the mouse is hovering over it.

My secondary monitor is placed to the left of the main one.  After just testing,
mozilla only exhibits this behaviour when the secondary monitor is to the right
of the main one.  If its to the right, it works fine.  My guess is the menu
click actually has a negative x value position and that's messing it up somewhere.

I am also using nVidia nView extensions.  I'll test without that on, but it
hasn't messed up any other programs.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Move secondary monitor completely to of primary monitor in display control panel
2.Move mozilla to the secondary monitor (the majority of it)
3.Move mouse over something that should detect hovering (menu for instance), and
stop mouse

Actual Results:  
Menu was highlighted while moving mouse, and then it went back to normal color
when the mouse stopped.

Expected Results:  
The menu should've stayed hightlighted.
