Description Jean-François Fortin Tam 2010-02-07 14:37:18 UTC 
If there's a link at the bottom of a page that cannot be scrolled, I cannot click it because my mouse cursor is blocked by the chromium-like "hyperlink status bubble" that appears.

To reproduce: line up a link with the bottom 10px of the browser window.

Yes, it flickers like mad, I believe the "bubble" should change sides, when you hover it with your mouse.
Now, what happens if you have a really long link, say one that takes up the whole screen width? I propose that the link should be shortened to be not longer than 50% of the screen, since most of the information in links shouldnt be important to you anyways, except for the beginning and the end.
Comment 2 Jean-François Fortin Tam 2010-05-16 13:24:41 UTC 
Actually, this bug has been solved in 2.30... It now does like Chromium, so to my initial report this is fixed (hiding the link tooltip is exactly what I wanted).
