Making one big rectangle out of two far away small rectangles.

Ok, making the cache a bit smarter. Add a RenderObject* to
RenderObject::InnerNode and:
  void breakCache(RenderObject *ro, int _tx, int _ty)
    { if (!m_breakcache) { m_breakcache = ro; tx = _tx; ty = _ty; } }

In RenderFlow::nodeAtPoint
  if (containsSpecial())
      info.breakCache(this, _tx, _ty);

And in DocumentImpl::prepareMouseEvent
  if (d->cachedInnerNode &&
     ((d->cachedInnerNode->m_breakcache &&
      d->cachedInnerNode->m_breakcache->nodeAtPoint(....)) ||
     (!d->cachedInnerNode->m_breakcache &&
      d->cachedInnerNode->innerNode()->renderer()->nodeAtPoint(...))) {
    ........

Should solve that.
