890094 - mouseout not emitted when element moved in dom

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Core :: DOM: Events, defect, P5)

Description

[James Campos]

Attachment: index.html

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_7_5) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/27.0.1453.116 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

Mouse over an element, then reinsert that element somewhere in the dom, such that it is no longer beneath the cursor.


Actual results:

The mouseout event did not fire.


Expected results:

The mouseout event should have fired.

Interestingly, if a separate element is reinserted in the dom, pushing the first element out from under the cursor, then mouseout events *do* fire.

The attached file shows two sets of divs; the first set will move the clicked div directly, the second set indirectly. The console will log 'mouseout' and 'mouseover' events.

I reported a similar bug previously, which was marked invalid - Bug 674955.
