Text displayed in the status bar will sometimes freeze with a particular message, and from then on fail to update.

For example, on this page: http://www.aquapac.net/usstore/erol.html, once you mouse over the top menu row (black on yellow: "Products," "Sizing," etc.), the status bar reads "Click" and doesn't change regardless of where you then move the pointer.

I noticed this yesterday too on another site.

Yep, I've seen this one fairly often.

I think this happens when you mouse over a link in an iframe, then leave the iframe without ever placing the mouse over a non clickable area in the frame, we hold on to that last link and never let go, same problem if you mouse over an image at the edge of a window and then leave the window, the link info will continue to display.

The link above may be different, it definitely uses frames though.
