1036444 - Remove the NS_TOUCH_ENTER and NS_TOUCH_LEAVE events

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: DOM: Events, defect)

Description

[Kartikaya Gupta (email:[e-mail])]

BasicEvents.h defines NS_TOUCH_ENTER and NS_TOUCH_LEAVE events [1] which don't appear to be generated anywhere in the code (looking through MXR anyway). The docs for these events [2][3] say they have been removed from the W3C spec [4] (which is true) so we should probably just kill these events entirely. Is there any reason for keeping them around?
