In the code pasted in below and at the referenced URL, the mouseup event fails
to fire when following a mousedown over an empty table cell if some of the table
is already selected.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click and drag from the first row to the "foo" cell
2. Click and drag in the empty cells on the right. (The cursor should be a
circle with a slash.)
3. Observe that "mouseup" doesn't fire when you release the mouse here.
Actual Results:  
No mouseup event.

Expected Results:  
A mouseup event should fire.

Do you see the bug in the latest nightly trunk build?
http://mozilla.isc.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-trunk/
Yes, I do.
Ah, this is a dragging operation, you're talking about, right?
In that case, indeed, a mouseup event is not fired.
Probably related to bug 180514.

Yeah, bug 180514 does appear to be related. Maybe all mouse events after
"mousedown" are halted once certain criteria are met?

A difference between this bug and that one is that here, the cursor changes to a
circle with a slash.
Depends on: 180514
I have also independently confirmed this in another piece of code that I'm working on. If the mousedown occurs in a 'position: relative' element, the 'mouseover' handler I have installed on the document element doesn't receive any events. If I absolutely position the element, it works.

It looks like once the mousedown happens, that's it - no more events.
William, probably not related to this bug.
Please, file a new bug, and preferably with a testcase that shows the bug, ok?
