7956 - When apprunner is in the background, we still set the cursor shape

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: XUL, defect, P3)

Description

[Simon Fraser [no longer active]]

If apprunner is not the foreground application, we are still setting the pointer
(cursor). So if I mouse over where a URL is, but, say BBEdit is in the
foreground, then I get the mickey mouse pointer. This is bad.

This seems to fall into the category of things we shouldn't do when not
in the foreground, like button mouseover (bug 6582).

so a) why isn't this a dup of 6582
and b) why isn't this assigned to joki?

Comment 2

marking a dup of 6582 because no one complained.

Reopening, nominating for beta2

This is annoying enough to warrant fixing for beta2. It is *very* bad for a 
background app (i.e. mozilla) to set the cursor when it is not in the foreground. 
This makes using the mouse to select text in foreground apps very difficult.

I un-duped this bug because it can easily be fixed independently of the original.
