From Bugzilla Helper:

BuildID:    2002053012

When a link is clicked and the page that is loaded also has a link at the spot
where you clicked previously, then that link cannot be clicked unless the mouse
is moved.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to mail.yahoo.com (lots of other sites can also demo this bug).
2. Log on.
3. Position the mouse on any link on the left side
4. Click on the link
5. Note that the right side page loads and that the left side has remained
unchanged.
6. Also note that cursor is still on the link that you clicked a second ago.
However, your cursor is an arrow, not a hand. 
7. When the mouse is moved a little, the front-end updates the cursor and it
becomes a hand instead of an arrow.

Actual Results:  Link can be clicked even though the arrow is displayed.

Expected Results:  After page is loaded, a simple check to test mouse position
can be done. If the test yields that the mouse is on a link in the new page, it
should change the state to reflect that.

This is probably something in the ESM anyway, so ->Event Handling.
