Details

When putting the mouse over a link that has a long URL, the URL displayed in the 
status bar at the bottom pushes the entire right side of the user interface too 
the right and off the window viewing area.

Build tested: 2000043008
OS tested: Windows 98 SE
Platform tested: AMD K6-2 450 MHz
RAM: 96 MB

Steps to reproduce
1. Launch Mozilla
2. Visit http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/
3. Put mouse cursor over "View Bugs Already Reported Today" or "Mozilla bug" 
links on the top left corner of the page.
4. Adjust window size if necessary.

Also tested this on other sites with the same result.
Seeing this in linux too. Build from 2000/4/30
Also seen on WindowsNT, build 2000043015.  Not only does the side of the window 
move, but the entire page gets redrawn.  In some cases, this makes it nigh to 
impossible to click on a link.
Severity: normal → major
Changing component. This is not a layout problem...
