Description Jan Ekholm 2004-03-08 07:51:12 UTC
Version:           3.2.0 (using KDE 3.2.0, compiled sources)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.2.2 20030222 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.2-5)
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.4.20-20.9.Linox

When you move the mouse over a link in Konqueror it normally gets underlined to mark that the link is active and can be clicked. When you move the mouse away from the link the underlining disappears.

However, if you move the mouse pointer on top of a link, leave the pointer there and scroll the page with the keyboard the link remains highlighted. This means that you can have a highlighted link far away from the mouse pointer. The underlining of the link is cleared as soo as you move the mouse, but it does look a little bit weird.

If this is the intended behaviour I apologize, but to me it doesn't look logical to highlight a link that's not under to mouse pointer.

This is easily reproducible, at least on the two different systems I have:

1. move pointer over a link, see it being highlighted.

2. scroll with the keyboard.

This also happens to icons when using konqueror to browse files. When the mousepointer is moved and 'enters' a icon and hovers, a popup containing file info appears. When I scroll the window with the mousewheel and the mousepointer 'enters' a icon and hovers, nothing happens.

It looks like applications only receive signals when the absolute position of the mousepointer changes. When the relative position changes (relative to objects that have MouseEnters/MouseExits slots), nothing happens. QT problem?
