The code is included at the end of the problem description. I have a DIV with overflow set to hidden. If I click and drag the mouse outside the DIV, it still captures the mouse move events. The behavior is very similar to setCapture in IE. The behavior is same for hidden/auto/scroll values for overflow. Only "visible" seems to be not locking the mouse.

        cnt = 0;
        document.getElementById("console").innerHTML = cnt;	     
    };

    c.onmousemove = function(e){         
        document.getElementById("console").innerHTML = cnt++;

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Save the above code in a file
2.Click on the DIV and drag mouse outside the DIV boundry
3.Comment out the "c.style.overflow = 'visible';" line and counter will change only when mouse is clicked and dragged on the DIV

Actual Results:  
1.You will see the counter keeps on increasing

Expected Results:  
I would have expected the same behavior for hidden/auto/scroll as that of visible.

I am suing firefox version 3.5.9
I meant to say "I am using firefox version 3.5.9"

I have tried the latest build as suggested and still see the problem.

    
    

    
  
ok, this is a regression against 1.8.1 on 1.9.0, i.e.

works:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de-DE; rv:1.8.1.20) Gecko/20081217 Firefox/2.0.0.20 ID:2008121709

fails:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de; rv:1.9.0.19) Gecko/2010031422 Firefox/3.0.19 ID:2010031422

1.8.1 behaves like GC5 dev and Opera 10.52 now do.

Added a few similar bugs to dependency list. Some of them are reported on 1.8.1, so I don't know about regression, but I definitely see this and didn't find any bugs explaining why this is by design, so confirming.
