Description Grant Gayed CLA 2013-05-17 16:37:44 EDT 
- 4.3RC1 test pass
- not a regression, affects all WebKitGTK releases

The Browser sends a status message whenever a link is hovered over, in order to emulate the other native browsers.  However a follow-up empty status message should also be sent when the pointer moves off of the link, so that apps that  display the received status messages to users don't just leave the old link location string sitting there.

I had a quick glance.

webkit sends an event every time mouse hovers in and out, but only the 'in' signal is translated and passed to user.

Would be useful to implement the out signal as per use see:

WebKitWebView
mouse-target-changed
(webkit2)
