381813 - "View Page Info" recognizes link as "anchor", but cursor doesn't shift to "clickable", link can't be used (site specific; SeaMonkey)

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 102695

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Kent Paul Dolan]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9a5pre) Gecko/20070522 SeaMonkey/1.5a
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9a5pre) Gecko/20070522 SeaMonkey/1.5a

At the subject URL, the link with text "Read it here." seems to be well formed,
and the "View Page Info" identifies it, correctly, to be an "anchor", but when
the cursor is moved over it, the cursor doesn't change to indicate a link, nor
is the link usable. Other links on the same page work fine.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open subject URL with current SeaMonkey nightly under WinXP
2. Try to click "Read it here." link
3. Observe failure
Actual Results:  
Link has contradictory properties, self-identifies as an anchor, does not
work as a clickable link.

Expected Results:  
Link behaves normally.

I had already visited the site linked to before opening the subject URL, via
another access path.

(Searching on "unclickable", "inaccessible" both failed, but I doubt that
this problem report is unique, though the specific URL reported may be.)

This happens because a div is positioned over the top of the link. See bug 102695 (can't click through transparent elements).

Oh that's a tricky one, a bug from something you can't see!

Thanks for the explanation. Should this bug be a dup of bug 102695, then?
