222283 - hover is broken when it is on the left side of a multiple monitor system.

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 135079

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Leo Yamamoto]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007 Firebird/0.7

I have a multiple monitor Windows XP system, where the primary monitor (1) is in
the middle, another monitor (2) is on the left, and yet another monitor (3) is
on the right. Since monitor 1 is in the middle and set to the primary monitor
(i.e. "Use this device as the primary monitor" is checked), monitor 2's pixels
are negative in the x-axis coordinate space. I believe this causes a problem
with Firebird's hover mechanism (on links, buttons in the toolbar, anything that
you can hover over) in that it only works for about half a second. On monitors 1
and 3, it works fine. If I set monitor 2 to be the primary monitor, I get
correct hover operation across all three monitors.

I suspect that this problem would occur even with a dual-monitor system.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Get a two monitor Windows XP system. Place the second monitor to the left of
the first. On the Display Properties -> Settings dialog, select the monitor on
the right and check "Use this device as the primary monitor."
2. Start Firebird and place it in the primary (right) monitor. Hover over
buttons in the toolbar, like the back button or the home button. Observe that
the hover behavior continues as long as you have the mouse over the button, and
the tooltip appears normally.
3. Move the browser window to the left monitor.
4. Repeat step 2, but this time observe that although the buttons are briefly
highlighted, the hover does not remain and no tooltip is shown.

Optional steps:
5. On the Display Properties -> Settings dialog, set the left monitor to be the
primary monitor. Now observe that hover works correctly on either monitor.

Actual Results:  
Buttons or links (really, any hover target) are briefly highlighted but the
hover does not remain and no tooltips are shown.

Expected Results:  
Hover behavior should be consistent across monitors.

does this also occur using Mozilla? (I wish I had a second video card in this!)

Yes, I just confirmed it on Mozilla 1.5.
