49430 - Jump to link followed-in-new-window after scrolling on mouse re-entry

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: DOM: UI Events & Focus Handling, defect, P3)

Description

[ohely]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.2.16 i686; en-US; m17) Gecko/20000807
BuildID:    20000080712

When a link is followed in a new window, and the original page is scrolled so
the link is no longer visible, then the mouse rolled off then back on the
original window, the text jumps so the link is visible

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open the web page
2.Open a link (say the "Step 2" link) in a new window with the middle-mouse button
3.(Optional) Close the new window
4.Scroll the original window down to the end with the slider
5.Roll the mouse off and then back on the window

Actual Results:  The page jumped so the link that had been followed was visible

Expected Results:  Nothing, you'd think

- I'm using fvwm
- There are no messages printed in .xsession-errors when this happens. (A bunch
of mozilla's debugging messages usually go in there)
- Seems like similar behaviour to bug #30111, but precipitated differently
- If the link is followed in the SAME window (left-mouse) this behaviour doesn't
occur
- Whatever mechanism remembers where in a page to return to after following a
link seems to be exceeding its scope
- Clicking in any of the entry boxes stops the jump from happening on subsequent
mouse off - mouse on actions

Confirming. This happens at least when you have the "focus follows mouse 
pointer" setting on.

Chris, I see you have added some stuff to PresShell::ScrollFrameIntoView that 
prevents us scrolling in certain situations. These two bugs fall in the same 
category.
