Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10.1

A (even sligthly) bad shape in a clickable image can lead to weird behaviour:
the current tab is "frozen" with the mouse "hand" icon and nothing clickable.
While other TABs continue to work flawlessy.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. open given code
2. click on the first "baloon"
Actual Results:  
the page gets "reloaded" with new parameters, but mouse isn't camable to click
anywhere no more

Expected Results:  
Reload the page, still working.
Or, if the shape is "too" strange, just ignore it and DON'T activate that
clickable zone.
(but I wouldn't call "unparsable" a shape with only an extra "," at the end,
like the examlpe...)

Just see the first clickable area:
    <area shape="poly"
coords="152,40,122,44,98,53,64,82,58,97,62,150,108,185,122,192,186,191,243,147,253,123,248,88,233,69,215,58,186,43,"
href="?lang=it&amp;id=337&amp;fum=4398">

It has an extra colon at end of string

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

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
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
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
