284257 - mouse pointer changes over background application windows

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Widget: Cocoa, defect)

Description

[Joachim Noreiko]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050223 Firefox/1.0.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050223 Firefox/1.0.1

On the Mac, a click to a background window always brings it into focus and
nothing else (see for example bug 282598).

The appearance of the mouse pointer refelcts this: open two Textedit windows,
bring one to focus, and hover over the second: no I-bar, just the plain pointer.

Mozilla and Firefox break this rule: pages in the background (while the app
itself is in focus) change the pointer, eg for links.

Reproducible: Always

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.

I don't see this bug on trunk. (Only when a context menu is open, which is bug 425556.)
invalid / wontfix?

Not seeing this on FF3 for OS X.
Close as fixed.

We don't know which code change fixed it, so let's close it as worksforme.
