101957 - Visual feedback during outliner drag-n-drop

Status: NEW

(Core :: XUL, defect, P3)

Description

[:deanis74]

Now that outliner drag-n-drop has been implemented (bug 9656), I think that we
need to enhance the visual feedback just a bit.  Using the standard Windows
header control as an example, there are two things that we do differently.

1. When dragging a column header, the pointer still changes to the horizontal
resize pointer (<->) when over a splitter between headers.  If we're dragging a
header around, the pointer should not change.
2. When dragging a column header, the state of the column header should remain
as pressed until the drag completes.  Currently it's only pressed when the
pointer is over top of it, and then it changes to some third state that's
halfway between pressed and normal.

Feel free to split these out into separate bugs if you want to.  I felt that
they were minor and probably related enough to keep as one.

Build is 2001092703 on Win2K.

Confirming both of these on MacOS build 2001092804.

Also, worth mentioning is that there is nothing visibly being dragged.
It used to be that you saw the title button being moved around. However,
all I see now is a mouse pointer moving arround and a small line appearing
at the position the column will be dropped. If this is not the case on Win32
I'll file this as a new bug.

I specifically didn't file that one because I think it's going to be hard to
implement (!).  I'd say file that as a separate enhancement request.

OK, I'll file a new bug for my bit...
