           Summary: CSS a:hover bold font + div width = unclickable, mouse-
                    avoiding link.
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 526+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Macintosh
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.5
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: CSS
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: fabian at mailinator.com

The following html generates a page with a single link which is not clickable
because it refuses to stay under the mouse. When the hover property causes
the link to be emboldened, the "content" div width is exceeded so the link
moves
to the following line. When the link moves to the following line, it is no
longer
under the mouse, so the hover bold is deactivated and the link moves back.
Then the cycle repeats.

Behaves this way in both current nightly web lit as well as released Safari
3.1.
I could not find a previously-logged report of this bug.

Expected behaviour: Link text would become emboldened and remain under the
mouse cursor.

<html>
<head>

<title>Broken</title>

<style>
  a:hover {
  font-weight: bold;
  }

  #content {
  width: 100px;
  }
</style>

</head>

<body>
  <div id="content">
   <p>..........<a href="http://www.webkit.org">ClickMe</a> </p>
  </div>
</body>

</html>
