the mouse is not highliting the bookmark it is made to point to, this is done
after another sub menu under a RSS feed is highlighted using the keyboard, the
highlight control recursively gets transferred to the older highlighted bookmark 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Alt+B ( then choose and sub menu of a RSS Feed, only highlight)
2. use the mouse pointer to highlight any other bookmark without making the
mouse hover over the existing highlighted bookmark
3.

Actual Results:  
same as reported

Expected Results:  
the mouse's highlighted bookmark should have become active rather than the
conrol transferring to the older keyboards' highlighted bookmark

Are you able to reproduce this bug with a latest release or nightly build of Firefox 2 or 3?
If not, please resolve this as WORKSFORME.
Thanks!

i see something similar in Vista, after using steps to reproduce, when moving pointer to another bookmark menu item, the selection changes continuously between the two selected items, so i see a flickering selection on both of them.

after moving to other items on the menu the selection fixes itself to the new items, and everything works fine
