Steps to reproduce:

2. Hover over a link

Result: cursor flickers and the statusbar URL disappears on the same rhythm.

This reminds me of bug 306149, but I guess the bug is now easier to reproduce.

Windows only?

right click on a link and open in tab has same result. but ctrl+click doesn't trigger it. So it's something with choosing anything in the context menu triggering it.

> Windows only?

No, I can reproduce on Linux, too.

The behavior goes away if the browser loses focus (by say clicking in location bar, or switching to another app, and then back to Firefox.)

I'm pretty sure this was a duplicate of bu 306149 and is now fixed on trunk...

My additional information may/may not assist in helping to resolve the "crazy mouse" bug.

I am running a G3 Mac with MacOS 10.3.9 (PPC not Intel). I have experienced the crazy mouse bug in the past and unsure what conditions cause this bug to appear.

I went throught the steps to reproduce the bug as outlined in the first comment. After going through these steps the "crazy mouse" bug did not appear. Is it possible that this may be two seperate bugs->one that effects the MacOS and another that does not effect the MacOS? I wonder if in order to fix this bug there may need to be more than one patch applied if indeed there is more than one cause for this errant mouse behaviour

Sorry :( I forgot to mention that I am testing with SeaMonkey 1.0.6 for MacOS.
