222947 - status bar flickers on second monitor (dual head)

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 135079

(Firefox :: Toolbars and Customization, defect)

Description

[stefan jaksch]

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

status bar just blinks on MouseOver(anyLink) with 'http://any.link', then
switches to 'Done' immediately. This only happens on my second monitor (using
Matrox Millenium G550 Dual Head). This is not a severe bug, but very annoying
when debugging web pages - "workaround" is to keep the mouse pointer moving over
the link and read the status bar very quickly...

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. start mozilla browser (experienced this problem on 1.3, 1.4, 1.5 and
firebird) on second monitor of a dual head system (win2000,MM G550)
2. move mouse over any hyperlink
3. watch status bar showing the href of the link (e.g. 'http://www.xyz.com') for
some milliseconds, then switching to 'Done'



Expected Results:  
show the href of the link permanently in the status bar while mouse is over the
link - works fine in a browser window on the primary screen!

I notice this too.  I'm on Windows with a Mobility Radeon 7500.  The other
weirdness I notice is that menus of all sorts, instead of continuously
displaying the moused-over item in a darker color, only display it that way for
an instant, then return to normal not-moused-over menu colors.  I don't know if
I should file a second bug on this.
