*** Bug 8035 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Link is indeed disabled using jul12 builds on Mac OS 8.51, NT4.0 and Linux rh5.2. However, once you click in the link, you can't get typing focus back in the body unless you use the keyboard instead of the mouse. I guess I'll close this bug (since the link is disabled) and check for/log another one as a separate issue.
