2008-12-30 02:53:15 Michael Marley description Binary package hint: firefox-3.1 Using Firefox 3.1 on Kubuntu 9.04 Jaunty, if I move the mouse over a link, the hover function does not work properly. If the mouse is stopped over a link, it remains as the standard cursor. If it is moving, then it rapidly alternates between the standard cursor and the link select cursor. This only happens if at some point I have moused over one of the buttons in the Firefox chrome. I have tried launching Firefox with the -safe-mode switch, but this does not affect the problem.

2008-12-30 03:38:28 Alexander Sack xorg: statusexplanation the interesting thing here is that it doesn't happen on intrepid. Upstream bug DB doesnt have such a report either. I suspect that some X part caused this. Will add xorg target too to get X maintainer opinion. Bryce, Timo ... any idea what might have changed in X?

[Testcase] open firefox, move into main window, then move up into menu bar, back into main window and hover over a link. The cursor immediately changes back to the normal cursor.
