219209 - No way to cancel a click on an <input type=image> image input

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 53966

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect)

Description

[Brian 'netdragon' Bober]

Unlike almost all other navigation images and buttons, when I left click on an
<input type=image>, there is no way to cancel the form submission. EmuMail
employed by RPI uses this element and the behavior is different than with IE

Expected results:
Moving mouse off image before releasing it doesn't send the form submission

Actual results:
There is no way to cancel the click once you do a mousedown

Attachment: Demonstration.

Just press the mouse down and drag, and no matter where you move the mouse, the
form is still submitted.
