When one scrolls with the keyboard (arrow keys) or with the mouse wheel, the
shape of the mouse pointer never changes, though it sometimes needs to.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Put the mouse pointer over a link; its shape is now a hand.
2. Scroll with the keyboard (up arrow or down arrow) or with the mouse wheel in
such a way that the mouse pointer is no longer over a link.
Actual Results:  
Nothing except the scrolling: the shape of the mouse pointer is still a hand.

Expected Results:  
The shape of the mouse pointer should have been updated (arrow instead of a hand).
Is the hover state updated?  We should just be basing the pointer on what's
hovered....
When scrolling with the mouse wheel, the hover state is updated (now that bug
78765 has been fixed), but not when scrolling with the keyboard (this is bug
201590).
-> All/All Win2k/041005

note: this isn't a visible issue on OS X as the moust pointer gets hidden on a
page scroll until its moved again.
OS: Linux → All
Hardware: Macintosh → All
The hover state is not updated, see

for a nice testcase.  CONFIRMED, BTW.
Status: UNCONFIRMED → NEW
