267904 - Pop-up sticks to the mouse

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Rick]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1

At the mentioned site (you must accept the cookie) you can click on an item to
see extra details in a pop-up. Yesterday I clicked (when the pop-up was open)
left and right very fast, and suddenly the pop-up was stuck to the mouse
indicator. I tried everything to seperate them, but all of no avail. I could not
select the site at the background, I could not select the URL bar, and I could
not fool the app by moving my mouse over the Windows bar. At last, there was
nothing to do then just shutdown FireFox and reboot it again. It could be a site
coding error, but I have tried various other browsers (like IE) but I could not
remake this problem there.

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the site
2. Open a pop-up window
3. Try various fast mouse-clicks (left or right, I can't remember it correctly)

Actual Results:  
The pop-up sticks to the mouse indicator

Expected Results:  
Give a possibility to seperate the mouse indicator and the pop-up window.

I have tried to reproduce this error in IE, but it didn't happen there.

I don't know if this bug is somehow related to bug 252951, but they are not
talking about a pop-up screen.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we

you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
