Regression: Tooltips don't update while scrolling

Steps to reproduce:

1. Visit http://www.macuser.de/forum/search.php?searchid=1440477

2. hover over a link 

-> Actual result 1: You see a tooltip

3. scroll down

-> Actual result 2: The first tooltip doesn't disappear.

-> Expected result: It should disappear and the new tooltip from the other link should update.

Thanks and regards

Is this a regression from Safari 5.1, or from Safari 5.0.5?

I am pretty sure this worked in 5.0.5., but it fails in Safari 5.1.

I can check this again.. Could you tell me which Webkit version was the stable one in Safari 5.0.5.

I can't open older Webkit builds with Safari 5.1 to find the regression range :-(

Please see the enclosed crashreport

That's expected - there were too many changes in 5.1 to maintain compatibility with old WebKit.

Thank you for the clarification!

[Mehmet]

No longer an issue for me. Closing as WorksForMe in latest Safari 16.5 on MacOS 12.6.6.

Indeed. Thank you very much for following up!
