Details

Since I have updated to the Flash 6 Plug-In all all dragable buttons in the
Flash movie (if dragged by the mouse) produce a rectangular shape with the size
of the flash movie that can be dropped on the desktop. The flash movie stops
immediately when rectangle appears. IE5 does not have this problem with same PlugIn.
which buttons ? are u talking abt the flash movie in the url ? pls give me an 
example , thx!
This is a bug in the passing of focus to the flash movie. The click/hold/drag
behavior of a page element (usually gif or jpg image) in a mac app seems to be
clashing with the intended click-drag behavior of the flash content.

Normal interaction with this page I'm seeing it intermittantly but happening,
when focus is no on the flash movie it happens always. To reproduce always:

1) visit site at http://dplusplus.de
2) click to "information" section (bottom left link)
3) click/place focus in the chrome location field to pull focus away from the
flash movie
4) click & drag the center part of the scroller.

The movie will scroll just a bit before the browser thinks you want to move the
whole movie.


This is a SEVERE BUG. I don't know if it can be extended to cover the Flash 5
plugin or other plugins (shockwave). Everything worked fine on a 0.9.9+
build/win2k/Flash6 plugin.
What Chris said, is exactly what I meant. The problem appears in editable text 
fields (flash), too. in this case it's not possible to select text with click/
hold/drag. You can try this on my page (http://dplusplus.de). Go to 'Contact' 
write something into the email form and try to select some characters by click/
hold/drag.
Confirming.

I'm also seeing this on the sites of two authors of flash books. This may become
a pretty high profile/hated bug.

The bug appears with other plugins too. for example shockwave games or ipix
panorama viewers (java). they all show the same behaviour. (now on 1.0rc2)
So, we have a common problem among a few plugins. Does anyone know if this would
have to be fixed on a plugin by plugin basis or if its an all or nothing
proposition? I'm not familiar enough with the project/code to know. If the
former bugs should be filed for each plugin with the problem. If the latter then
this bug's summary should change.

David, do you have any links to pages using other plugins to share? Myself i
haven't come across any other places this shows up.
Just hit a flash game that is impossible to play because of this bug:

Also, does anyone want to respond to my previous comment?
This works on Win32.

This is possibly related to the IPIX bug 144896.
the problem is still present - and as far as i can see all plugins are affected,
not only flash. i have tryed chimera 0.28 (with is based on geko, too). i had no
problems there. i think this is a special mac os-x problem - maybe the system
itself affects the drag&drop behaviour.
Summary: Drag+Drop does not work properly in Flash 6 Plug-In → Drag+Drop does not work properly in (Flash 6) Plug-In
The bug seams to be fixed in version 1.1a. Maybe because of the new Quartz
drawing engine? But flash still plays very very slow!
Running 2002060708/trunk and yes, it does seem like this bug has cleared up. Do
any of the Moz/Mac hackers cc'd here know what patch/bug we can attribute this to?
