(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect)

Description

[Mark Whitehouse]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624

The problem appears when I try to rate movies at netflix.com by clicking on one
of the 5 rating stars.

Hovering over a star turns it yellow, but clicking on a star has no effect.

This process works fine in IE 5.x.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to netflix.com and login
2. Rate a movie using the 5 star graphic
3. Click on a star to rate the movie

Actual Results:  
The movie was not rated and the stars stayed red

Expected Results:  
The movie should now be rated and the stars should indicate my rating by turning
yellow.

this is another instance of bug 102578.  when you click, Mozilla first gets a
mouseout event from your WM and delivers it to the page, which returns the stars
to their normal state (red/white).  When the click event actually gets there, it
has no effect.

This is actually a bug in your windowmanager.  As a workaround, you can disable
click-to-raise (or sloppy focus if you are using click-to-focus)
