STEPS TO REPRODUCE: 1. Load http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/search?string=nsSVGSVGElement 2. Position your mouse-cursor over the "Search For" textbox. (There's nothing magic about the text box - it's just at the same x-position as a lot of links, further down the page.) 3. Ctrl+F to trigger "Find" bar 4. Type in e.g. "nsSVGLength2" ACTUAL RESULTS: The highlighted found text is obscured by a statuspanel popup. If you press Ctrl+G to repeat the Find operation, this happens over and over. ACTUAL RESULTS IN MORE DETAIL: - Browser instantly auto-scrolls to have the first occurrence of this string at the bottom of the page. - This inadvertantly positions a link beneath the (unmoved) cursor. - This causes a statuspanel popup to appear at the bottom, obscuring the find result. I've hit this bug a number of times since statuspanel appeared. and it's pretty annoying...

It seems like one possible fix for this would be to only trigger statuspanel previews when the cursor is *moved* over a link (but not when the scrolling causes a link to slide beneath your unmoved cursor). I don't know how easy that would be, though, or if that would break other use-cases...
