742687 - Tooltips originating from a tab page are shown in other tab pages

Status: NEW

(Core :: General, defect)

Description

[EZ]

Attachment: FireFox_Tooltip_Bug.jpg

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.0; WOW64; rv:11.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/11.0
Build ID: 20120312181643

Steps to reproduce:

I have a couple of tab pages open. One with the TFS (Microsoft Team Foundation) web access and one with Google Analytics and some others. When I hover over one of the graphs in the Google Analytics, I get tooltips that originate from the TFS web access page.


Actual results:

When I hover over one of the graphs in the Google Analytics, I get tooltips that originate from the TFS web access page. 
I verified that the last tooltip shown in the TFS web access page is also shown as the text in the Google Analytics page.


Expected results:

It should never happen that whatever content from a tab page is shown in another tab page in whatever way. This to me sounds like a security issue. The tooltips shown in the Google Analytics page should only contain text that applies to the content of Google Analytics page and not content of other tab pages.

Please let me know if that fixes the issue you reported, thanks!

Let's reopen this bug until we can get confirmation from the reporter
that this is actually the same issue as bug 575294.  My guess it's not.

OK, if it's not bug 575294 then it's some other one -- we've had this problem for years.
