Details

Mozilla has a toolbar button widget that "raises" to create a bevel when the mouse passes over it. However, sometimes it stays up longer than it should: Hover your mouse over a toolbar button, and quickly click a menu. The button bevel remains up. You can roam your mouse down that drop-down menu, and even click in the main document window, and the button stays raised. After clicking in the document aream, you can navigate till your hearts content, but the only way the bevel goes down is if you move your cursor on another part of the toolbar. While very minor, this is somewhat awkward.

this happens because gecko is losing events somehow. It seems that when the mouse is moving quickly, the OS sampling rate for mouse-moved events is too slow, so one event is over the button, hence the bevel border, and the next sample is when the mouse is in the menu bar or in another presShell. As a result, the presShell with the toolbar doesn't get the "mouseExit" event. reassigning to joki. I'm sure we already have similiar bugs filed, but i'll leave it to him to mark as a dupe.
