40249 - replacing innerHTML with same content allows onmouseover to happen again

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 6316

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect, P3)

Description

[Jesse Ruderman]

if you replace the innerHTML of a div while the mouse is over the div, the next 
time the mouse moves a pixel within the div, onmouseover is triggered a second 
time.  if the mouse is moved off of the div just after the innerHTML is 
changed, onmouseout doesn't fire.

note that the innerHTML is being replaced by the same content in the testcase, 
but this bug should be fixed even if the content changes slightly.

the flicker when replacing innerHTML is a separate bug (not yet reported?).  
the spacing in the testcase is different in IE and moz because of the unrelated 
bug 29361.

Glad the waste of web space that is turbogeek.org could do something worthwhile.
I'm very clueless on any HTML past the 2.0 spec, so after this bug is resolved,
if my code is still wrong, someone tell me the code to make this effect work in
mozilla/nscp6... if it breaks ie5 thats fine.

That page is occasionally causing a seg fault on lastnights linux mozilla.
It seems to be easier to reprocuce with sidebar off. reload the page and
quicking mouseover the top two links, and click on the third. That seems to be
the most reproducable way.

I believe this one belongs to you Joki, but I'm not sure there's a lot we can
do about this.
