  ****************************************************************
  If an element is ajax-enabled and specifies an event (such as
  focus or mouseover), that event will trigger the action of the
  encompassing element.
  For example, the mouseover event would incorrectly invoke both
  the listener and the confirm methods.  Instead, only the
  listener should activate during a mouseover event. 
  <h:commandButton id="confirm" action="#{bean.confirm()}" >
  <f:ajax event="mouseover" listener="#{bean.listener()}"/>
  </h:commandButton>
  The is a regression of PH55398 (MYFACES-4606).
