Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 78765

(Core :: DOM: UI Events & Focus Handling, defect)

I can get links to remain "active" coloured even after the mouse is off
them, including getting multiple links active coloured all at once.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to a page with loads of links on it, e.g. the URL attached to this bug,
http://www.opengl.org/discussion_boards/cgi_directory/forumdisplay.cgi?action=topics&number=3&start=here
2. Wave the mouse from side to side horizontally over one of the links
3. While doing this, scroll the page up or down using the keyboard
4. Some of the links will stay active coloured after they get scrolled away from
under the mouse. You have to wave the mouse around though, just keeping it still
and scrolling is not enough.

Actual Results:  Multiple active coloured links not under the mouse.

Expected Results:  Only the link currently under the mouse should be active coloured.

I see this on Linux tip today. OS/All. Don't think this is new, possibly a dup?

This looks like a dupe of 78765.

I agree with Chris, it's a dupe of 78765. I missed that one 'cos I was searching
for "link" and "active", not "hover". :-)
