633034 - Cursor does not change aspect when moving between cells in Silverlight

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 621117

(Core Graveyard :: Plug-ins, defect)

Description

[Sunil]

Attachment: Repro files

Repro steps:
Unpack the attached zip file to local disk.
Open CursorTest.html in the browser. 
Move the cursor over each of the cells in windowed and windowless control 

Expected Result:
The cursor changes aspect according to description of cells.

Result:
The cursor does not change aspect. 
(The bug still repros after HW Acceleration disabled)

Additional notes:
Does work in Safari; I'm suspecting something about how FF runs us out of process is overwriting our cursors with theirs.   I did verify that we are correctly getting to, and making, the SetCursor calls, with constant data.  These calls return void, there's no error possibiilty.

Bug does not repro on the following configurations 
 Mac10.6.3+ FF4b8pre(32-bit)/FF3.6.10
 Mac10.6.3+ SF4

Bug 621117, says that it's 32 bit only. This bug is reproducible on 64 bit too.

Can Silverlight just use "this.style.cursor" via NPRuntime to set the cursor? For custom cursors you might be able to use a "data:" URL.

Josh, wouldn't this mean current Silverlight apps that are out there will have to recompile the app just so that it works with Firefox?

What I suggested in comment #4 won't work right now. We'll just have to patch Firefox to forward the native calls you're already making.
