81496 - fast mouseovers cause images (and their links) to disappear

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 32269

(Core :: Layout, defect)

Description

win32 talkback build 2001051704, win98se

Fast mouseovers on images that are not loaded cause the image and associated
link to disappear, and become inaccessible. The vanished images affect the
position of elements following them. Sorry if this is the wrong component. 

1. Go to http://www.rebeccasgarden.com/home.html
2. Let the page finish loading.
3. Quickly mouseover the navigation links on the left side of the page,
top-down. The images disappear as well as their associated links (the bottom
image/link usually gets shifted up to directly below the Home link).
4. Reload the page.
5. From top-down, mouseover each image in the navigation bar and wait for the
image to change (takes several seconds with my 28.8 connections) before mousing
over the next image.
6. After all the images are loaded, fast mouseovers do not cause a problem.

BTW, there is no ALT text on any of these images, but the expectation is that
there is still a placeholder for each image. The image shifting does not occur
in NS 4.x or NS 6.01. The mouseover images also load much faster in NS.
