549420 - Click and Drag from Downthemall to Thunderbird Addons freezes both processes

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Core :: DOM: Copy & Paste and Drag & Drop, defect, P5)

Description

[Kevin Dethlefs-Moreno]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2) Gecko/20100115 Firefox/3.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2) Gecko/20100115 Firefox/3.6

Once I downloaded a couple of addons (which addons don't matter in my tests) through DownThemAll (Firefox Addon), I selected both addons and dragged into Thunderbirds Addon manager (they were both built for Thunderbird). Once I dropped, both Thunderbird and Firefox had frozen their UI's, but Windows 7 still redrew them fine. I could alt tab and everything and look at their then current screens.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Download two addons or more for Thunderbird
2.Select multiple addons
3.Drag into Thunderbirds Addons window
Actual Results:  
UI froze for both Thunderbird and Firefox

Expected Results:  
Thunderbird to pop up two separate windows asking to install the add-ons, or an error message.

I will attach data dumps if possible. These are created of Firefox and Thunderbird through Task manager.

Bulk-downgrade of unassigned, >=5 years untouched DOM/Storage bugs' priority and severity.

If you have reason to believe this is wrong, please write a comment and ni :jstutte.

Phoenix, do you still have win7 to test with?

Comment 3

[Phoenix]

With current DownThemAll I'm not able to drag downloaded files from extension window anywhere, thus original issue steps are no longer applicable.
Closing this as incomplete, please reopen if there are some additional tweaking required to reproduce the issue, as I'm completely unfamiliar with that extension
