288679 - Mouse cursor changes from pointer to hour glass in menu and tabs sections for no reason

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Steve]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050317 Firefox/1.0.2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050317 Firefox/1.0.2

In the past, this has been an intermittent bug, although it is currently
occuring constantly.  If I move my mouse cursor into the area of the pulldown
menus or the tabs area of the Firefox window, the mouse cursor switches from the
default pointer icon to an hour glass icon for no apparent reason.  As soon as I
move it back into any other location on the Firefox window or for that matter,
anywhere else on the desktop, the mouse cursor changes back to the pointer icon.

I am using a Logitech mouse and Mouseware driver ver. 9.791, but the same
problem occurs with previous versions of the driver as well as the standard
Windows mouse driver.

The problem does NOT occur within Internet Explorer.

I have tried to isolate the problem, but have not been succesful at doing so.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Start Firefox
2.Move mouse cursor over described areas
3.

Actual Results:  
Action as described above

Expected Results:  
Not changed the mouse cursor icon

I am using an nVidia-based video card running the latest nVidia drivers and
their desktop management software.

I am also using a Logitech wireless iTouch keyboard and mouse using their latest
software and drivers for both.

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.
