Description Tim Buschtoens

There are several problem with the Table/Trees hover effect:
1. Its very slow in IE
2. Its flickering during mouse movement is Firefox/Webkit
With RichtText cell-content it also:
3. Prevents mouse-selection in Webkit (works when hover is disabled)
4. Hover-state of the first row is stuck when mouse leaves table at the top.

See also Bug 351116 and Bug 346768.

So the Flickering is also just with Rich Text.

Apparently with Rich Text the hover-effect is rendered on EVERY mouse-move in
IE and Webkit, and in Firefox even if if the mouse is not moved, just hovering
the cell. Without Rich Text however its not rendered as much, the bad
performance in this case can only improved by optimizing rendering, which can
be another bug. This one will only about hover-issues with Rich-Text content.

Fixe in CVS HEAD.

A number of changes (mostly in TreeRowContainer):
- hover-effects are rendered asynchrounously (in a timeout)
- mouseover events are checked to target a different item 
- elementOver events are checked to target a different type of element
