1229563 - mouseup event is not fired when button other than LMB is released outside of window

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 136027

(Core :: DOM: Events, defect)

Description

[Tobias Oelgarte]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:42.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/42.0
Build ID: 20151030085151

Steps to reproduce:

Given the following code snippet:

document.documentElement.addEventListener('mousedown', function (event) {
	console.log('mouse down');
}, true);

document.documentElement.addEventListener('mouseup', function (event) {
	console.log('mouse up');
}, true);


Actual results:

I only get a mouseup event for the left mouse button, but not for middle or right mouse button, if the mouse buttons are released outside the window.


Expected results:

The mouseup event should be fired for all other buttons as well. Tested this under Ubuntu and Windows XP (yes the dinosaur, but should also apply to other windows versions).
