Could this be due to reflows triggering mousemove events over and over?

This could be due to the same problem mentioned in bug 20022 comment 66 (third
paragraph), which I couldn't reproduce (bug 20022 comment 74).

I've found another web where the bug is visible: http://www.rae.es/

I think it's a new bug for lastest mozilla versions. It did't happens in my
"old" 5th January 2004 Night Buid, but now, with the 20040205 i've found the bug.

It's worth retesting now that bug 20022 is relanded, but I think this should be
fixed.
