250117 - Port fix for bug 20022 (:hover state not set) to Aviary branch

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 20022

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040626 Firefox/0.9.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040706 Firefox/0.9.0+

Recently, bug 20022 (:hover state not set until mouse move) has been fixed.
The fix is available in recent Firefox trunk builds but not on the branch
(I've checked this with both 2004-07-06 builds).

Please consider porting the fix for bug 20022 to the Aviary branch
in order not to have a Firefox 1.0 release with this annoying issue
(latest duplicate: bug 248735) still present. This is also closely related
to bug 50511 (~40 duplicates).

Setting blocking-aviary1.0? flag since having an incorrect mouse cursor while
wheel-scrolling a page (which is a very frequent operation) falls into the
"UI exhibiting sloppy behavior" category that's mentioned on blakeross.com.

I'm not sure it does really fit into that category - this isn't a Firefox UI
issue, it's a back-end issue.

If all the stuff like this gets ported to Aviary for 1.0, we'll be waiting
another 6 months for the 1.0 release.  When Firefox returns to the trunk after
1.0, it will pick up all these back-end fixes anyway - then we get 1.0 sooner,
and waste less time overall in porting stuff around...
