Peter, it is bug 77992 that testcase belongs to.
It seems to me this bug is very much related/duplicate to that bug.

Your call Martijn.
My knowlage of this stuff is way to limited to see if this is the same issue

click events are synthesized from widget-level mouse up/down events; presumably
the date information isn't copied.  I think this bug is unrelated to bug 77992.

sr=bzbarsky.  I think we should take this for 1.8b3; it's a very safe fix.
