233861 - Link hint and on-rollover code broken when on second monitor

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 135079

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Eric Hill]

User-Agent:       
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040206 Firefox/0.8

If Firefox is on the second monitor of a dual-monitor system, any rollovers that
would typically pop up a link hint with the ALT text send an on-mouse-out
message to the rollover and the rollover stops.  This is shown on images that
change with rollover, links that change with rollover, and the status bar text
that shows the link briefly showing the link then going blank.  Moving Firefox
back to the primary display solves this problem.  This was not an issue in
Firebird 0.7.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Move Firefox to second display.
2. Open a site with any type of rollover feature or one that has any links with
ALT text defined.
3. Move the mouse over the image or link.

Actual Results:  
The hint didn't pop up, the rollover was immediately "un-rolled-over", and the
status text at the bottom of the screen was blanked out.

Expected Results:  
The same thing it does on the primary monitor.
