Bug Report:

Date:
    2005-02-05
Note:
    Fixed in 9.00p1 build 8031.

Version:
    Opera 8.00/Windows98/PC
Build:
    7401
Brief Summary:
    Fixed + absolute position cause missing hover.
Severity:
    Other severe
Part affected:
    Display

Detailed description:

        The page has one <div> that is slightly taller than
    the viewport, and one <div> (position: fixed) containing
    a menu (<ul>, position: absolute) with 5 items. The items
    change background on hover.

    [Originally, the menu items were displayed only on hover,
     but that is not necessary to demonstrate the bug.]

        When the viewport is scrolled to the bottom of the
    canvas, the 5th item can not be hovered. It looks like
    the hover selector matches relative to the canvas, while
    the element it is supposed to match is positioned relative
    to the viewport.

    Notes:

      * The page has to be reloaded or resized to render the
        height correctly.
      * This bug is present in all version of Opera at my
        disposal (7.23 - 8.00b).

Steps to reproduce the bug:
    1. Scroll to top of canvas.
    2. Hover over "5.".
    3. Scroll to bottom of canvas.
    4. Hover over "5.".
