1327584 - It's possible to accidentally reload the page by dragging url from location bar

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox :: Address Bar, defect)

Description

[arni2033]

>>>   My Info:   Win7_64, Nightly 49, 32bit, ID 20160526082509
STR_1:
1. Open https://ya.ru/
2. Type "asdf" in the search field on the page
3. Click in urlbar to select url
4. Drag and drop the url by 20px to the right

AR:  The page reloads, so all typed text is lost
ER:  Step 4 is a trap and shouldn't be possible, because it's too easy to do this accidentally


STR_2:  (references of good behavior)
1. Open https://ya.ru/
2. Type "asdf" in the search field on the page
3. Type " " at the end of url displayed in urlbar. Select all text ("
4. Drag and drop the url by 20px to the right

AR:  Step 3 - "https://ya.ru/ " is selected. The page does NOT reload, just as expected.


Note:
 The bug is marked as "New", because comparison between STR_1 and STR_2
 makes it obvious that current behavior is illogical.

Doesn't sound so easy and it may be expected outcome. Unclear whether preventing this would be worth its cost.
