310339 - onmouseout does not fire consistently from a div embedded in another div with a link (href) element.

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[WolfZombie]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050915 Firefox/1.0.7

onmouseout does not fire consistently from a div embedded in another div with 
a link (href) element.  When the mouse is moved off of the embedded div 
element containing a link, no mouseout may occur.  This seems to happen at 
random.  Removing the link from within the div seems to alleviate the problem, 
as does having the mouseover event call something which refreshes the screen 
graphics (such as writing to a form field).

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Move mouse over the top div element
2.Move mouse over the second div element
3.Move mouse quickly off of the second div element.  Generally to the left 
recreates the bug more often.  
4.Note that this may take a few tries to get it to reoccur.

Actual Results:  
The onmouseout event assigned to the second embedded div did not fire.  This 
may take a few tries to get it to reoccur.

Expected Results:  
The onmouseout event should fire consistently every time the mouse leaves the 
second embedded div element, regardless of its content.

Please re-test with Firefox 1.5 beta 1, as numerous Gecko (rendering engine)
fixes have been made since the 1.0.x code.
