1268990 - Retina - No drag icon when reordering search engines in preferences

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 933302

(Core :: DOM: UI Events & Focus Handling, defect)

Description

[Mike Kaply [:mkaply]]

On Mac Retina (haven't tried non Retina), when you go to:

about:preferences#search

and reorder search engines, the mouse pointer doesn't change to indicate something is happening. (On Windows, it shows a drag pointer).

It should show some sort of indicator that the drag is happening.

It is the expected behavior on mac OS X. The mouse pointer does not change when dragging items. You can try reordering bookmarks on safari, for example.
So, I'm closing this bug because it works as expected on the specified OS.

Comment 2

[Mike Kaply [:mkaply]]

On Safari reordering bookmarks it shows you dragging the entire item.

On Firefox, we are not showing any drag feedback. So no, this is not working like the OS.

Comment 3

[Flore Allemandou [:flore]]

When I drag an item, I can see the entire item dragged (although it's not exactly the same design as safari, because it includes the blue highlight)

Shows the dragging effect on search engine preferences

Attachment: Drag effect on Retina

I don't see that effect on a Retina nightly.

The drag is happening, but the cursor doesn't change.

It works on non Retina. I tested with the same machine, same browser switching between Retina/non Retina.

OK, I did not really get the 'changing' cursor idea. In my mind the shape of the cursor did not change (on windows, it changes to a hand, for example), so I assumed you meant that.
Indeed, it looks like a retina-specific bug

Can you try to reorder bookmarks (in the show all bookmarks or in the bookmarks toolbar)?
It may be not specific to search engines but be a more generic issue.

Yep. Looks like a general drag problem on Retina.

Seems a retina issue or OS integration issue
needinfo from Mike Conley and Wayne Mery on this if they have any insights

Comment 10

[Wayne Mery (:wsmwk)]

The retina issues I've triaged have been graphics related. I'm not sure that's the case here, but CC ashughes who may know

Comment 11

[Mike Conley (:mconley) (:⚙️)]

I'm afraid I don't have any insight here.

I'm not certain it's a graphics issue unless :mkaply can provide a regression window pointing this to a graphics-related regression. For what it's worth I cannot reproduce this issue with Nightly on my system: MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013) running MacOS 10.11.5 Beta (15F31a).

It happens on Firefox 38, so I don't think it is a regression. Given that you don't see it, maybe it's a Mac OS X bug? I'm running 10.11.4

Confirming: The mouse pointer does not change when dragging/moving the search engines.
Windows 10 - mouse pointer changes
Ubuntu 12.04 - mouse pointer changes
Mac 10.11 - mouse pointer does not change
Version  49.0a1
Build ID  20160505030327
User Agent  Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.11; rv:49.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/49.0
Performed MozRegression 38-49 so I can confirm indeed it appears this has always been.
need info me if further investigation/assistance is needed.
Setting this to New CORE: Event Handling;

[Flore Allemandou [:flore]]

Only retina versions on mac 10.11 seem to be affected. I'm using nightly on 10.11 on a non-retina mac and I'm not affected.

smaug, any thoughts?

Comment 17

[Olli Pettay [:smaug][[e-mail]]]

No idea. mstange might know, given that this is some very OSX specific issue.

Comment 18

[Markus Stange [:mstange]]

This might be bug 933302.

Technical bug titles don't make for good searches :)
