Popup status doesn't disappear when moving focus within framesets

I developed and manage a website that makes extensive use of frames. When I click on a link in one frame that opens a page in an adjacent frame moves focus there. The problem is that the the popup status that appeared in the origin frame displaying the link to the just-opened window doesn't then disappear, but remains visible even though that frame is no longer active. This would appear to be a bug. Can it either be fixed or a work-around suggested? Please don't comment on frames being obsolete. Thanks

Adding on to original query. In fact this behavior only occurs when transferring to a frame containing a data entry form. Then, if I move the cursor over any other hyperlink, say in the side favorites menu, the popup disappears. Quite annoying, particularly since I previously used the status bar to inform users of valid / invalid input quantities on these forms.
