User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624

On dual monitor windows systems (extended desktop) all mouse over effects 
seem to work for only about 0.5 seconds, if the mozilla window is placed 
on the secondary display (i.e. the one without taskbar).

This happens "out of the box", independent of 
- OS (W2k, XP), 
- grafic cards/drivers (ATI Rage 9700, Matrox G450 DH),
- mozilla version (1.3, 1.4, 1.5a/b)
- mozilla application (webbrowser, mail)

(boy, this took me some time to find out!)




Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. place mozilla (webbrowser/mail) window to secondary display
2.a. place mouse over simple link 
      - or - 
2.b. press right mouse button to open popup-dialog and place mouse 
     over a menu filed (no button pressed)

Actual Results:  
2.a.: link target is shown in status bar for about 0.5 seconds and then disappers 

2.b.: menue selection is shown for about 0.5 seconds and then disappers 

Expected Results:  
it should not disappear (as shown on the primary display)
