68457 - HTML editors don't accept links/text by dnd, gfx don't accept links

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(Core :: DOM: Editor, defect)

Description

[Blake Ross]

Build ID: 2001020904

Steps to Reproduce:

(1) Go to http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/
(2) Start dragging a link, try to drop it into the textfield.
(3) Start dragging text from the page, try to drop it into the textfield.
(4) Start dragging a link, try to drop it into the URL bar.

Result: on dragover of the textfield (steps 2,3) and the URL bar (step 4), you 
aren't allowed to drop (the 'no-drop' cursor appears).

Additional Information:

* These may be Windows-only problems (Ben said he didn't see them on Mac).

* With Ben's recent dnd changes (bug 64722) backed out, removing these lines:

      if (aDragSession.sourceDocument == window._content.document)
        aDragSession.canDrop = false;

  (which were intended to ensure that you can't drop content dragged from a
  page into the same page) from contentAreaDD.js fixes problems 2 and 3. With 
  Ben's changes in, removing these lines does *not* fix either problem.  These
  lines have always existed, and drops into html textfields used to work
  anyways.

* These problems still existed when Ben's recent dnd changes were backed out.
  Upon backing out Joe's fix for bug 66290, all of these problems went away.

* Backing out Kathy's recent changes to nsEditorEventListeners.cpp had no effect
  on any of the problems.

* See also: bug 64722, bug 66290, bug 68058, bug 67109.
