1097732 - Drag-and-Drop event handler not called for object-tags

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Core :: DOM: Events, defect, P5)

Description

[Dirk Weber]

Attachment: example.zip

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:33.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/33.0
Build ID: 20141106120505

Steps to reproduce:

- create a simple html-file (see attachment: index.html) with a div-container and embed an arbitrary object-element within the div (e.g. another html-filem see attachment: dummy.html)
- attach an event handler to all kinds of drag-and-drop-events
- try to drag an arbitrary file over the div-container

Environment: Windows 7 (64 bit)


Actual results:

The event handler will never be called


Expected results:

The event handler should have been called, like the current Chrome (v38) does. This is especially a problem, when you want to handle drag and drop within the flash-plugin (which can not handle this event natively).
