335030 - CSS :hover property not obeyed by background images

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Layout, defect)

Description

[David VanScott]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20060421 Camino/1.0+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20060421 Camino/1.0+

A link that utilizes an image and text (the image being a background image done through CSS) will only trigger the :hover behavior when mousing over the text and not over the image.  This behavior only started after the 4/18 trunk builds in both Firefox and Camino.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make sure you have a trunk build from 4/18/06 and on
2. Go to the test page
3. Mouse over the text and see the correct behavior, then mouse over the image and see that there is no :hover behavior

Actual Results:  
Nothing

Expected Results:  
Hovering over the image should activate the :hover behavior: changing the color of the text and moving the image to another position.

regression range:
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20060416 Firefox/3.0a1 ID:2006041605
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20060417 Firefox/3.0a1 ID:2006041716

This only affects links in a table-cell.
There is another bug about this: bug 334690 with the same regression range.

Possibly from  bug 333481?

Could someone attach the testcase to this bug, please?  Either use one of the bugzilla images, or attach the image, then the HTML?

Attachment: Testcase

This bug only occurs when link is inside table cell. Remove display:table-cell from body and it will work as expected.

Any idea when this patch will land on the trunk or has it landed already?
