Description Pete Zaitcev 2008-12-26 05:04:02 UTC
Description of problem:

Footer flashes URL and "Done" when moving over a link. Cursor alternates
between "hand" and "arrow".

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

firefox-3.1-0.4.beta2.fc11.x86_64

How reproducible:

100% on two systems

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Move cursor over a link
  
Actual results:

Annoying flashing, URL in footer impossible to read, cursor is wrong.

Expected results:

Footer displays link, cursor switches to "hand" over a link.

Additional info:

This happened after an update to Minefield in Rawhide.

Oh shoot, I noticed that the same thing happens in GIMP as well. GIMP shows
tooltips for menus and these tooltips flicker. Now I am pretty certain it's
caused by the conflict between mouse and synaptics. Not a bug in Firefox,
reassigning to X11 (not sure what component though).

Adding Peter, the owner of Synaptics, to cc:. Maybe he has ideas.

Sadly, I don't remember when this started to occur. It became noticeable
with the new Firefox a few days ago, but the actual problem probably
existed for far longer. I noticed that my scrolling strips stopped working
quite a while ago, maybe in mid-November.

Comment 5 Peter Hutterer 2008-12-30 23:33:12 UTC
http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19086

This is triggered by a wrong LeaveNotify event being sent when the mouse moves from the menu bar to the main window in firefox. Other apps would have similar issues if they get the same incorrect event.

Unfortunately, it turned out that the enter/leave model is a bit broken and it needs reimplementation. This is on the way, but not quite there yet. I'll leave this one open until it's fixed upstream.

Comment 6 Peter Hutterer 2008-12-30 23:35:11 UTC
Reassigning to me, changing title to hopefully reduce duplicates.

Comment 7 Peter Hutterer 2009-01-08 04:51:19 UTC
Fix merged upstream in master, should be back-ported to 1.6 
soon. See the patches leading up to
