From Bugzilla Helper:

BuildID:    2002053012

When loading a web page in the browser, if the mouse happens to lie on top of a
just-rendered link, that link's "hover" pseudo-style won't be in effect. 
Subsequently moving the mouse a tiny bit will cause the hover style to take
effect.  The URL above is a simple test case that demonstrates this.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Follow a link to a page, where the mouse is positioned such that it will be
on top of a link on the destination page

Actual Results:  The link's style was left at its default.

Expected Results:  The link's :hover pseudo-style should be in effect.

Interesting -- does bug 20022 or bug 112829 also work for you?  I suspect 112829
is another symptom of the same problem.
Reproduced with trunk build 2002061108 on Win2k. Reopening. I can't reproduce
bug 112829 anymore, though.

david@fastolfe.net, can you reproduce bug 112829?

Are you sure you're not seeing the bug that :hover state goes away when you
press a key and stays that way until you move the mouse again?
dbaron: I'm seeing both.
I cannot reproduce 112829.  So maybe they're not related.  However, in 112829's
test case, if I position the mouse somewhere where a link *could* be, and scroll
the scrollbar until a link appears under the mouse, the :hover state is not in
effect until the mouse is moved.  That may be an unrelated but similar issue though.

Bug 112829 seems to have gone away.

I believe that issue is the same as this bug.

This bug is the same as bug 20022 except that this is about content while 20022
is about chrome. Unable to find a dupe; confirming and reassigning to event
handling.
