Bug 5983 – REGRESSION: onmouseover-powered navbar at MacNN renders incorrectly

• Component: DOM
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Jon]

MacNN's new front page features a JS powered navbar. In Safari 2.0.2 (416.13), it renders correctly, with 
the moused-over sections changing graphics while the other sections remain in their non-moused-over 
state. However, in TOT powered Safari, once a section has been moused over it remains depressed until 
the user mouses over the next section in line, which returns the previous section to its un-moused-down 
state. However, once the user moves to a third section, the first section returns to its mouseover state. 
Eventually, by scrubbing up and down the navbar, all the sections will retain their mouseover state except 
the one immediately before (direction dependent) the currently moused over section. When no section is 
moused over (after all have been moused over at least once) all of the sections will retain their moused 
over state.

I'm not sure that's very clear, but the behavior is obvious when you visit the site and try to use the navbar.

The regression happened before 2005-10-01 according to nightly builds, and it (or some version of it) is 
already present in WebKit-417.9

I can't repro with the latest sources. Can anyone else?

I also can't reproduce. Did the site change?

We probably need to close this bug.

I cannot reproduce this with WebKit-CVS-2005-12-14 20-06-29 GMT. Apparently, the site has indeed 
changed.

Me neither, closing this, no use to all look at it :)

Removing NeedsReduction. Alice, don't know if you want to remove the "InRadar" too?

I can't reproduce on the site either, but a copy I made of the site on Jan 4 (and slightly reduced) still looks 
buggy. Since this bug is a regression and the site always worked in Firefox, I think it's important to look at 
it.

It's very likely that the site was changed soon after WebKit 417.9 was released, since the release contained 
this regression.

Reduced testcase

When an element changes to display:none, it maintains (some?) of its hover
state (and doesn't call its onmouseout handler).

I think this is a regression from the 2005-07-29 checkin that changed :hover
and :active behavior.

[Joost de Valk (AlthA)]

Good testcase Mitz! Upping severity to Major and changing NeedsReduction to HasReduction.

And forget to add regression keyword.
