The links on the left hand side of the example page have a mouse over feature. 
If that page is in a background tab and the mouse moves over where the links
would be the mousover image appears in the current tab.  The images appear but
the links are not clickable.  This happened with both one and several other tabs
open.

Reproducible: Always

2.Open another tab
3.Move the mouse over the left hand side of the window where the links are on
the Red Cross site

Actual Results:  
The images from the non-active tab appear.

Expected Results:  
Mouseover images should only appear when the tab they exist in is active.

Yeah, this is a duplicate of a long-running bug (bug 162134). See also bug 277067.

Hopefully they'll fix it soon :)
