Dragging text is not working at all (Win 8.1 x64, current 64bit Nighty)

Without e10s I can select text on page and drag it:

1) to address input / search
2) to <input> or <textarea>

With e10s dragging is doesn't even start (no dragging mouse cursor, no floating/dragged text)

From the developer, here is the current status:

updated and released (4.4) – everything works except for drag-and-drop of selected text into search box (drag-and-drop not implemented in Firefox Nightly)

Adding dependency on drag and drop bug 936092.

Comment 5

I have updated Search Site to version 5.3, which is fully compatible with Firefox 37.0.1 and with Nightly 40.0a1 (2015-04-17).

I have tested e10s drag-and-drop, dragging selected text into the search bar, with and without Search Site installed, which in both cases opens the search panel. Unlike earlier versions of Search Site, this version does not launch a search when the text is dropped into the search bar, since this would be different to the native behaviour of the new search bar.

I have also fixed all reported bugs and eliminated the few remaining "unsafe CPOW usage" warnings.

In summary, Search 5.3 is fully compatible with e10s and this bug can be closed.
