15848,Chrome has incorrect event target in some situations,filosofo,,"The result is that ''clicking'' a select element triggers a ''mouseover'' event on an element not in its ancestry.  In the case of the WordPress admin, this means triggering the hover state on the admin bar (which reveals the dropdown sub-menu).

I can reproduce this in Chrome 8.0.552.224 on Linux but not Chrome 8.0.552.224 on Windows.

Attached is a page simplified to the bug's barest essentials.  Change #some-element's `position`, `top`, or `left` CSS properties, and the bug does not occur.  (The borders and positioning on the select element are just to make it clear that there's no overlap of the elements.)

I will report this upstream to Chrome.  There are several options to prevent it from happening, but they're somewhat hacky. I'm going to see if I can come up with less-hacky solution before creating a patch.",defect (bug),closed,high,,General,3.1,blocker,worksforme,needs-patch needs-testing needs-isolating,
