1186516 - Instantbird: Change usage of draggesture to dragstart, dragdrop to drop

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Instantbird Graveyard :: Other, defect)

Description

[Patrick Cloke [:clokep]]

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1171979 +++

In bug 1162050, we'd like to remove support for the draggesture and dragdrop events in favour of the standard dragstart and drop events. They should work the same, so it should be a search and replace.

In addition, I'd like to remove the old nsDragAndDrop.js library and instead convert to using the standard drag and drop api. This is a more significant amount of work, so Thunderbird could include the existing version in its own code in the meantime.

IB relies on nsDragAndDrop in a number of places.

This bug only renamed the events, but now nsDragAndDrop.js itself has been removed as well (announced in the description, but at the time did not happen).
