Bug#686116: xulrunner-10.0: infuriating epydoc.js behavior - disappearing links

[Ian Zimmerman]

Package: xulrunner-10.0
Version: 10.0.6esr-1
Severity: normal

Some python library packages (e.g. python-configobj) come with API
documentation processed by epydoc.  Typcially they ship with a copy of
the required javascript in the file epydoc.js somewhere among the html
documentation. 

When I browse any of the html files created from python source [1] and
click on one of the (black, underlined) hot symbols, a tooltip-like
miniature window pops up with a disambiguation menu.  But the moment I
move the mouse (trying to click on one of the disambiguated items) the
tooltip disappears - and worse, _the original linked symbol_ disappears
with it, corrupting the source display.

[1] example:
file:///usr/share/doc/python-configobj/api/configobj-pysrc.html#Builder.build_Dict
