edit_view links disable url hover feedback from status bar

Yep, noticed that too (on FF2/win). That's somewhat annoying :-)

I've committed a check so that the javascript only gets included if you actually have permission to view the admin links, so at least it won't affect most users. But I'm not sure how to fix this for other users.

It seems that the jquery .hover() method is eating the browser bit that displays the link in the status bar, and I'm not sure what the right way to restore it is.

Attached patch uses .mouseover / .mouseout insetad of .hover, and seems to do the trick.

I've committed this but it doesn't actually fix it for me in FF2.

Ah. Hmm. I'm now away from my panels2 dev site. Will try harder tomorrow...

(I hate to ask : did you clear your browser's cache ? ;-) )

Yup.

Also added console.log messages to ensure I was actually getting fresh .js.

Well, at least I can confirm it works for me, both on FF2 and IE7.

I am thinking that I may have to go with an alternative solution where we use CSS hovers in browsers that don't suck (Firefox, Opera, Safari) and only use the javascript method for browsers that do (IE). It seems that this is possibly causing other problems; I got a report that something in Panels was interfering with the fivestar gadget, and I bet it's also the hover.

Yep, just spent two hours on it :-) it's this issue : http://drupal.org/node/207896.

It's a css conflict actually ("div.panel-pane div.hover" is a too broad selector)
Attached patch fixes it.

I applied the .css patch and then reverted to using .hover() because...hover() works on IE and the mouseover() mouseout() stuff doesn't.

Working on a implementing the css hovers and then only doing the hover() method when it's IE now.

Ok, got that working. Let me know if there continue to be problems.
