To make matters more interesting...
Firefox2 will also not send coords if I hit Return when the image button
is highlighted. Firefix3 does send coords if I hit the REturn button
instead of clicking on it.

On top of the, the internal user having the problem has a fresh 2.0.0.8
install...no extensions.
