Summary CSS a:hover bold font + div width = unclickable, mouse-avoiding link.

The following html generates a page with a single link which is not clickable because it refuses to stay under the mouse. When the hover property causes the link to be emboldened, the "content" div width is exceeded so the link moves to the following line. When the link moves to the following line, it is no longer under the mouse, so the hover bold is deactivated and the link moves back. Then the cycle repeats. Behaves this way in both current nightly web lit as well as released Safari 3.1. I could not find a previously-logged report of this bug. Expected behaviour: Link text would become emboldened and remain under the mouse cursor. <html> <head> <title>Broken</title> <style> a:hover { font-weight: bold; } #content { width: 100px; } </style> </head> <body> <div id="content"> <p>..........<a href="http://www.webkit.org">ClickMe</a> </p> </div> </body> </html>

This appears to be fixed. Could someone mark it as such?

Also works for me in Safari 5.0.3.
