Attachment: testcase

Originally I noticed this behavior when tried to add click handlers to text boxes on SourceForge registration page:
http://sourceforge.net/account/registration/ I narrowed it down to the this attached test case.

This is a duplicate.  The focus style triggers a frame reconstruct on mousedown, so mouseup and mousedown are on different objects, and you don't get the click event fired at that node.  We have other bugs filed for this sort of situation.

I know about these two similar bugs: bug 393226 and bug 42676 but couldn't find the more generic one about the way frame reconstruction is done.
