Description Axel Beckert 2002-03-24 21:16:42 UTC 
When I change to another tab by clicking the tab with the mouse, the usual
behaviour when hovering over links in the document of the newly selected
tab doesn't work anymore until I click inside the document window.

This at least covers changing the cursor to a hand and showing the URL in
the status bar when hovering over a link, but probably also some more
functions connected to hovering with the mouse over something, e.g. like
CSS 'A:hover', JS 'onMouseOver=', etc.

Sorry, the problem description isn't complete. There seem to be some
more dependencies than I mentioned. But I actually haven't found them all.

So the above mentioned conditions are mandatory, but not sufficient.
I'll add them here, when I found them.
Comment 2 Axel Beckert 2002-04-09 13:47:53 UTC 
OK, here's how I can reproduce the bug:

I have "open tabs in background" switched on and have my tabs on the
bottom. 

If I right click on a link and select open in new tab and then
selected that tab with mouse to come to raise. it show's up but none
of the hovering features described above. 

I can even switch between tabs and windows (either with the mouse or
the keyboard) and the effect still remains. It only disappears, if I
click into the display web page itself (not the tab).

P.S.: Sorry, can't reopen the bug although I'm the submitter and
logged in, who (according to the error message) should be able to do
that. :-(

I cant reproduce this with post 1.2.0 cvs so its probably fixed, Sorry
for the confusion.
