Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 264164

(Firefox :: Settings UI, defect)

When you mouse over the radio buttons or checkboxes in the preferences box they
highlight but after you take the mouse off of it, it will stay highlighted until
you go over it again. It might have been intended to be like that but it looks
bad to me.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Mouse over a radio button/checkbox or the corresponding text
2. Move the mouse off of the radio button or the corresponding text
Actual Results:  
The boxes stay highlighted

Expected Results:  
They should have been unhighlighted

I'm seeing similar behavior in 1.5 Beta 1, also in the Profile Manager. The
widgets seem to stick in highlighted state. They unhighlight if the mouse moves
away quickly or stays inside the dialog but moves outside the parent tabpanel
(where tabs are used, that is). Also, a few of them are strangely different
(e.g. the checkboxes under "Download Manager" in "Downloads") in that they
refuse to highlight while the mouse is over them, but they still exhibit the
sticking-on behavior.

Perhaps "Preferences" is not the correct component for this. It looks to me like
a problem with XUL. But I'm not a Mozilla developer, so I can't say really.

Maybe related to Core bug 264164?
