Filed as bug 558015.  I made a trivial example that ilustrates
the problem.

that actually works in the trivial example I created:
http://www.famlundblad.se/click.html

As I wrote in the bug, however, my real example is a horribly complex
web page with frames and nested tables, and there flat review
is hard to use.  The fact that it *is* possible to click at all
makes me optimistic that this should be solvable without too
much work, though.  Thanks for the tip, anyways.

Thanks,
