Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 646463

(Core :: General, enhancement)

Description

[Bunny]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:2.0b7) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0b7
Build Identifier: 4.0b7

When Windows Taskbar/Start is set to "Auto-hide" and Firefox is set to Full Screen, moving the mouse down to the bottom of the screen does not cause the Windows Taskbar to open.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Right-click the Windows Taskbar
2.Select "Auto hide"
3.Set Firefox to Fullscreen
4.Move the mouse to the bottom of the screen
Actual Results:  
Windows taskbar does not respond to Mouse Over Event

Expected Results:  
Firefox should allow Mouse Over Events to pop-up the Windows taskbar....forcing the user to strike the Windows Key or minimize the browser is exceptionally poor design.

There's an Autohide add-on that forces Firefox 3.x to allow the Windows Taskbar Mouse Over Event to work correctly.  Firefox 4 should emulate it.  As is, Fullscreen is annoying.
