42000 - Fast mouseover over link causes color flickering

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Layout, defect, P3)

Description

[Blake Ross]

Build ID: 2000060808

Steps to Reproduce:

(1) Visit http://www.cyberflicks.com/
(2) Fairly quickly, move the mouse vertically over the following text (has red 
background):

PREVIOUSLY VIEWED
NEW RELEASE VHS MOVIES JUST OFF
OF RENTAL. LIMITED QUANTITIES

Result: as you do so, you can see the line PRICED TO SELL AT $18.99 EACH! 
flicker between black (the color it should remain while the mouse is over that 
block of text) and blue (its former color).  If you slowly move the mouse up 
and down along the whole block of text, it seems that the line "PRICED TO SELL 
AT $18.99 EACH!" briefly switches back to blue every time the mouse passes over 
the link underlining of each line of text.

A reduced test case for this would be nice...

Accepting bug...

This bug has been marked "future" because the original netscape engineer working 
on this is over-burdened. If you feel this is an error, that you or another 
known resource will be working on this bug,or if it blocks your work in some way 
-- please attach your concern to the bug for reconsideration.

Here is a test case. The problem is more obvious on the listed URL because of 
the larger font and red background, but this test case still shows the last line 
of text "blinking" between blue and black as you move the cursor up and down the 
lines of text.

<style>
a:hover  {
color : black;
}
</style>

<a href>Line of text<br>

marked FIXED?

worksforme build 2001021304 win95. When mousing over any of the 4 text lines,
the 4 of them change colors, and the fourth line isn't different. Looks like it
works correctly now. Worksforme for Boris Zbarsky too on build 2001021208 linux.
Recommend worksforme.
