(Firefox :: Toolbars and Customization, defect)

Description

[Ilya B]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; ru; rv:1.9b5) Gecko/2008032620 Firefox/3.0b5
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; ru; rv:1.9b5) Gecko/2008032620 Firefox/3.0b5

Tooltips in the status bar disappear shortly after being displayed. This happens with the tooltips for the HTTPS notification (the tooltip displaying the certification centre) as well as with the plugins' tooltips.

Does not happen with the tooltips for the other toolbars, as well as with the Ubuntu build.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to a secure page, such as https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/
2. Mouse over an area displaying the site name and the lock icon.
3. Watch the tooltip. Repeat #2 if you can't notice it.
Actual Results:  
The tooltip appears for a very short time only.

Expected Results:  
The tooltip should stay in place until the mouse is moved.

I see the tooltip for 5 seconds. Tested with latest trunk on Windows XP.
