304604 - Links with CSS borders cause cursors to flash rapidly on mouseover

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 302561

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Philip Puryear]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20050813 Firefox/1.0+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20050813 Firefox/1.0+

This behavior is somewhat difficult to describe. Basically, if a hyperlink is
styled with a border, and the cursor is positioned just inside of the border
toward the main link text, the cursor begins to switch rapidly back and forth
between a hand and a regular pointer. The changing seems to sometimes slow down
arbitrarily as well.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://www.silvershift.net
2. Scroll down to the bottom of the page.
3. Position the cursor about 1 pixel above the bottom border of the link "A
Small Orange."

Actual Results:  
The cursor exhibited erratic blinking behavior.

Expected Results:  
The cursor should have been either a hand or a pointer and not changed.
