Details

After clicking on a site, the status line will alter if the mouse cursor passes
over a link. This is good. The problem is that it doesn't change back to the
previous status information. This isn't good.

Trivial, but annoying.

This last happened with the newest binary before 3/1/99 (I don't remember the exact date). However, no information is displayed on the 3/4/99 build anyway.
whoops, I meant viewer or apprunner? If it's viewer, then it's a won't fix,
since viewer is just a test app and is getting phased out. I'm not sure if
apprunner has status yet...
Oh, apprunner. However, since this also happens in Netscape 4.x and below, it seems to be something that gets passed over frequently.

Thanks for the info. Don, who is doing the status bar? We have an RFE of sorts
here.

I'm going to fold this into 6086.  I'm surprised that updating the status text
when mousing over a link *ever* worked in apprunner.  In my fix I'll try real
hard to get it to remember the previous status text and restore that when one is
no longer mousing over a link.

Moving all Apprunner bugs past and present to Other component temporarily whilst
don and I set correct component.  Apprunner component will be deleted/retired
shortly.
