DESCRIPTION:

The cursor should display a pointer (hand) when over a link.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

view bugzilla.mozilla.org
hover over link.

ACTUAL RESULTS:

Cursor renders the default arrow.

EXPECTED RESULTS:

Cursor should render with the pointer "hand" when over a link.


I believe that this is a regression from the patch applied to bug 5693.


DOES NOT WORK CORRECTLY ON:

Win98 build 20000101020

Using 2000-10-10-21/Linux (Mozilla nightly) I cannot reproduce this. The most
links show the hand cursor.
Only http://www.e-shuppan.com/ shows not hand cursor (the links at the bottom
such as "ENGLISH") -- the reason might be that there is no <a href=>, but only
<a onClick="">.

Tobias,

When I mouse over your link in your last post, the hand pointer does not display.

However, if I move very, very slowly I can see it shimmer back and forth between
the hand and arrow cursors.

I also noticed that images nested in a link always displays correctly with the
hand pointer (like the mozilla image at the top of the screen).

Getting same behaviour in today's build (WinNT4 SP6 2000101020 nightly
non-talkback). It's not only the hand pointer - the select pointer does not
display either. Basically, the cursor always goes back to the default cursor
after changing to the correct one. This happens very, very quickly so you'll
have to be very careful to notice it.

Probably Windows specific.

(Seems to be windows; my in-between mentioned bug about the missing link
appearance in this special case is now bug 56121 in case someone is interested.)

I'm seeing the flickering too. I'm going to confirm the bug and nominate for rtm
because this looks pretty bad.

I am marking this as dup, even though this was reported first. The dup
identified the checkin that caused this regression.

Verified dupe.
