Similar to the infamous Nvidia mouseover menu bug (with has now been fixed), if
you go to http://users.pandora.be/mouseman/en/html/index1024.html and place your
mouse pointer over either the "Software", "games", "links", or "DivX" item of
the yellow menu near the top of that page, you get a yellow drop-down menu. 
However, if you move your mouse pointer downward to select any of the menu
items, the menu immediately disappears.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit http://users.pandora.be/mouseman/en/html/index1024.html
2. Place your mouse pointer over either the "Software", "games", "links", or
"DivX" item of the yellow menu near the top of that page.
3. Move your mouse pointer downward to select one of the items in the menu that
just dropped down.
4. Not too easy, huh? 

Actual Results:  
The menu immediately disappears as the mouse pointer is moved to select an item.

Expected Results:  
The menu should have remained static so long as the mouse pointer was over it so
that an item could be selected.

This website works properly with Microsoft Internet Explorer.  All Mozilla
Firebird 0.7+ builds and possibly 0.6+ builds are affected.

The site seems to rely on being able have DIVs overlapping an IFRAME, with mouse
events over the overlapping area going to the DIV.

I guess bug 125386 fixed this. Please reopen if you can reproduce with a trunk
build.
