316856 - Cursor pointing at link on new page load doesn't automatically turn into hand cursor

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 20022

(Firefox :: General, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051107 Firefox/1.5

If you click on a link on a page (or just use the back/forward keyboard shortcut) and the mouse pointer happens to already be over a link on the newly loaded page, it won't change into the hand cursor to reflect that, though the link is clickable as it is.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load FF
2. Navigate to page with a link on it
3. Move the cursor over that link, so it's in position
4. Hit Alt-<left arrow> to go back a page, without moving the mouse out of position
5. Hit Alt-<right arrow> to return to the page you were just at

Actual Results:  
When returning to "the page you were just at", the cursor is already on top of a link. However, the cursor remains in the pointer shape, instead of the hand shape to indicate that the link is indeed a link.

Expected Results:  
The cursor should have turned into the hand cursor.

This is a duplicate of bug 20022, but that bug was fixed on the 1.8 branch 09-19, your build of 11-07 should have had that fix. Reporter, can you confirm that you still see this issue with recent builds?

Bug is fixed in RC3 (11-11 build) so we're ok.

The original problem described in bug 20022 was fixed long before the dates you cite above.
