[webkit-dev] hovers and mouseovers

[Leon Scroggins]

I still don't think you understand my problem.

I am trying to modify WebKit so that when using it, mouseovers/hovers that
simply change appearance (underlines, change in color etc) do not happen,
whereas mouseovers/hovers that change content (drop down menus, etc) DO
happen.  I have hacked in some code that works much of the time, but
sometimes allows mouseovers/hovers to happen when there is no apparent
change even.  This is independent of what type of input method is being
used.
