While trying to clarify the point returned by HitTestResult, I have gone through all the call-sites using the point, and have noticed what I can only assume are errors in webkithittestresult.cpp. First of all you use targetFrame instead of the frame of the innernode to translate to window coordinates. This is likely wrong since targetframe is the frame the link your are hovering will be opened in (open link in different frame/open link in new window feature). Secondly your fall-back logic while probably not necessary uses the point in innerNodeFrame, it should probably instead use the point in mainFrame instead and translate from the mainframe. Alternatively you can always translate from the main-frame coordinates once the patch for bug #98139 lands.
