build id: 1999042608 reproduced on: windows nt if you load the yahoo! page, you should notice that the cursor is always a hand (unless it's in the Search! control). clicking the cursor anywhere on the page selects the nearest link. this is bad. expected result: if the cursor is not over something selectable (a link or button), it should just be the default pointer / arrow and not do anything when clicked.

why is this assigned to me? I will reverify buy i need to know who to pawn cursor shapes onto...

it's not just the shape of the cursor... if it isn't over a link, clicking the mouse button WILL select a link. still happens on the 1999043008 build under NT for me.

ok claudius i need you to find out who to talk to about this i suggest tom pixley as a start. This really isnt my bug and I dont have the first clue how to fix it. I am not just bouncing this to someone else to clear my list :) either way i am pretty sure this will be m7 soonest

well if it's not you, XPApps, or XPToolkit, I surely don't know. I'm cc'ing tom in hopes that he can at least shed some light on the issue or name the next victim.

hmm well i guess tom didnt get to look at it ;) he has alot of bugs. what do you want to do with this claudius? I am going to bounce this to steve clark since he told me that if i dont think something is mine that i should give it to him to deal with

forgot to reassign hehe. steve this is a bug that doesnt belong to us and tom isnt getting it i guess. let me know if you want me to chase this down i would be happy to.

Yeah, I sometimes miss cc messages. Anyway, this bug is pretty and I don't think its valid anymore. I know the cursor works fine for me on Yahoo on my NT box. I'd suggest closing it.

It's a mystery fix - I haven't seen this in quite some time. Marking fixed. Claudius, please verify that it's fixed...

yup, somebody got real lucky. VERIFIED miracle fix for WinNT 1999061409
