moving something from under the mouse or (inclusive) to under the mouse should trigger onmousemove, onmouseover, and/or onmouseout as appropriate. for example: - scrolling the page with the keyboard should change the cursor to an insertion point if the cursor ends up hovering over some text (ie and ns4x get this right; mozilla doesn't) - scrolling the page with the keyboard should make tooltips go away if the mouse is no longer over the thing we're getting a tooltip about, or if another object ends up in front of it. (ie gets this right; ns4x and mozilla don't.) - onmouseover and onmouseout should trigger after scrolling onto or out of an object. (mozilla and ie both get this right.) - putting the cursor over text, holding the mouse button down, and then scrolling should select text. (mozilla and ns4x currently do let you scroll, and select text as soon as you move the mouse cursor a pixel. ie prevents you from scrolling while selecting or selecting right after scrolling, which is ok but makes the behavior complex.) - holding the mouse button down over a link and then scrolling should make the "drag" icon if you scroll far enough. (in all three browsers, the drag cursor appears after you move the mosue several pixels.) versions tested: mozilla 2000082708, netscape 4.75, ie 5.5 on windows 98.

Reassigning to joki.

This bug has been marked "future" because the original netscape engineer working on this is over-burdened. If you feel this is an error, that you or another known resource will be working on this bug,or if it blocks your work in some way -- please attach your concern to the bug for reconsideration.

According to the original poster, looks like this is a 4xp bug. Someone should add that to the keywords list.

Well, only parts of this bug are 4xp, but I'll add the keyword anyway. Also lowering severity to minor.

Parts of this bug are covered by bug 20022.

This bug: 5 dups bug 20022: 1 dup bug 28934: 1 dup Ten bugs total (I think they're all dups of each other), adding mostfreq kw.

Changing platform to all since bug 66728, which is a duplicate of this, has the platform set to all.

This bug is a duplicate of bug 28934. (or maybe the other way around since this one has a much better description.) I created a test case for that bug: http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/showattachment.cgi?attach_id=19316

Another interesting thing regarding :hover: Goto an URL using hover (e.g. http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS1 ). Place your cursor over a link, so that its hover-effect is triggered. When you now scroll with the mousewheel, the link stays in hover-state. When you scroll with the arrow keys instead, the link reverts back to normal, although any new links under the cursor don't change to their hover-state.

The last bit: wheel mouse comment is true (almost have dup'ed it); plus, mouse cursor doesn't get updated!

Adding to summary to make this bug a little easier to find.

I don't know if this is miscelanious info, but this is the same on 1.4 and 1.5b (2003082704) on Windows 98

bug 185293 maybe related or a dup, the difference in that case is that the page loads under the cursor, rather than an already loaded page scrolling such that a new element is now under the cursor.

Other than some issues with what happens on app switching (that vary between platforms), what issues are left to fix on this bug now that bug 20022 has landed? Or does anyone know exactly what this bug is about? There are enough issues here that I'm tempted to mark it invalid.

40+ dupes, 10 votes, and 4XP - why invalid?

A valid bug must have a description whose reader is able to tell what behavior would need to change for the bug to be considered fixed.

And anyway, most of the votes and duplicates are probably for issues that are fixed already.

(In reply to comment #0) > moving something from under the mouse or (inclusive) to under the mouse should > trigger onmousemove, onmouseover, and/or onmouseout as appropriate. for It's worth noting that we now fire mouseover and mouseout, but not mousemove. Firing mousemove broke the mouse gestures extension and may have broken some other things. > - putting the cursor over text, holding the mouse button down, and then > scrolling should select text.

(in all three browsers, the drag > cursor appears after you move the mosue several pixels.) We don't do either of these. Doing this would require a different way of fixing bug 233164. Then again, the right way to fix bug 233164 would probably be not to scroll when we focus something due to a click.

*** Bug 266377 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Isnt this fixed? Is there any URL where this can be reproduced?

It is not fixed. For instance, if you open a new tab and the document opens with a link below the mouse pointer, then the pointer is still an arrow instead of a hand (this has just happened to me!).

I believe that a mousewheel bug that I reported was rolled into this one. an example resource is: http://www.peepo.com/2k1/mousewheel/ however this was written and reported some years ago, so the code may not be up to scratch. apologies probably a sitemap for mouse bugs would be helpful similarly for keyboard events and so in fact onfocus if mozilla is to be accessible this will need a strategic plan regarding event handling that is public and open to scrutiny

URL TO REPRODUCE BUG: http://test.bellevuechristian.org We are using a slightly modified version of the DOM Tooltip code found at http://www.mojavelinux.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=127 for our open source web-calendaring project called Kronophobia. There seems to be a persistent bug in Firefox that causes it to not terminate the mouseover when the scrollwheel is used to move the page up or down. The result is that the mouseover text is left on the page and keeps accumulating the more links you mouseover. I have installed multiple versions of Firefox and found that some of the nightly packages in 08 trunk lines and such DID work correctly so I am confused as to whether the bugfix is just not being propagated or what? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Put mouse cursor over a calendar event and wait for mouseover 2. Use scrollwheel to scroll the page down 3. Mouseover stays open Actual Results: The result is that the mouseover text is left on the page and keeps accumulating the more links you mouseover. Expected Results: The mouseover should vanish. Internet Explorer, certain versions of Mozilla, certain versions of Firefox, Opera, Konqueror, etc all handle this correctly.

This was supposed to be fixed on trunk by 20022. Does anyone still see problems with trunk builds?

A few days ago, I did a CVS checkout and compiled Mozilla, and the problem still occurs. Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux ppc; en-US; rv:1.8a5) Gecko/20041230

Another URL, a screenshot gallery: http://scr3.golem.de/?d=0408/hl2&a=32842&s=1 Click on the right-arrow-button to advance to the next screenshot. The mouse cursor changes from hand to arrow although it hovers over a link on the newly loaded page. Anyway the functionality remains: even it's displayed as an arrow, a click triggers the link. BTW, four and a half year ago this bug might have been "minor" and scheduled for a future release. But that's ages ago. Promote it to a higher level or this bug will stay there forever.

mouseover should also be triggered after a page change. e.g. You have the mouse on a link (and you don't move it at all), the page changes, and the mouse is still the little hand even if it's no longer on a link.

Other than the issues detailed in comment 64 and in bug 20022 comment 125, I'm not sure what's left here. The comments saying the bug was still present seem to have stopped after Firefox 1.5 shipped, which suggests to me that the people making them were testing using Firefox 1.0.x instead of trunk builds.

I filed bug 346924 for tooltips not appearing after scrolling so that the cursor is over them.

(In reply to comment #77) > Other than the issues detailed in comment 64 and in bug 20022 comment 125, I'm > not sure what's left here. I also see the problem when I put the mouse in the URL dropdown menu and scroll the menu with the scrollwheel, in Firefox 3 beta 2 on Windows XP. Should I file a new bug report for that specific issue?
