The DHTML fly-out menus don't work quite right.  They fly out but you cannot
click on them; clicking on them does *nothing*.

After searching Bugzilla, I have determined that this is probably a duplicate of
bug number 102578, which was posted in October of 2001, looks like. Why does
this bug still exist?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.browse to website:
http://www.linuxworldexpo.com/linuxworldny03/V40/index.cvn?ID=10001

2. mouseover menu on left. DHTML fly out menus fly out.

3.Click on item in fly-out menu. Nothing happens!

Actual Results:  
Nothing

Expected Results:  
Clicking on link should take you to that link.

Possible dupe of bug 102578

wfm using build 20030714 on Win2k.
Clicking on fly-out item 'letters' work, clicking on fly-out item white body
doesn't work.
could be linux-only indeed.

Works for me with 1.4-release (20030624) on Windows NT

The site is rather slow though (and DHTML menu's aren't fast either)

> Why does this bug still exist?

Because it's a bug in some window managers, and we've not figured out a good way
to work around it yet.

On the other hand, why:

1)  File a bug that you know is a duplicate?
2)  File it on a component that has nothing to do with the bug (almost nothing
    that involves DHTML belongs in the JS engine)?
