When the mouse dwells over the image map area of the server-side web page the following occurs: The map coordinates text box appears and flashs at a very high rate The IE process take more and more memory the longer the dwell time, to a max of about 1.9 giga bytes (I.E. there is a memory leak) The CPU usage spikes during the mouse over dwell period, and remains spiked during the after dwell time catch up period (it seems to use about 100% of 1 cpu, overall cpu load depends on how many CPUs you have) The IE window locks up until the text map coordinates box buffer is cleared (can take up to an hour after moving the mouse away from the image map) (on my computer the ratio is about 1 to 1, meaning for every second of dwell time, it will take a second with the mouse NOT over the diagram for the text buffer to be exhausted. I.E. one minute of dwell time creates two minutes of text messages).
As far as I know this issue only occurs with IE9. On previous versions of Internet Explorer server-side image maps always worked fine.
This issue has been found on 3 computers so far: Two windows Vista 32 bit and one Windows 7 32 bit. However, it worked fine on a friends windows 7 64 bit computer.
I wrote some web notes with more detail including a link to a screen shot showing memory and CPU usage
I also have an example server-side image map web page.
I have searched and searched and not found anything about this issue anywhere (which is maybe just because I didn't find it)
All computers tested were current with windows updates.
Originally, I posted this issue elsewhere, and was referred to here as possibly a better place for it.
I guess I don't really have a question. I am just trying to help by pointing out something that doesn't seem to be working properly. The question might be: Is Microsoft aware of this issue? and when might it be fixed?
