I wasn't able to find the regression range, because the drag and drop feature was removed from the browser for a while. For more information you can access this link: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Archive/Mozilla/Drag_and_drop .

As far as I can tell this issue appeared after the feature was implemented again in 2014-04-10.

Neil, given Comment #1, should this be treated as a regression? Could you give it a priority?

Comment 3

I'm not sure what comment 1  is referring to. Drag and drop has never been removed. But if this has been around since 2014 then it doesn't seem like a priority. This doesn't correlate with the tracking flags though.

Yeah, let's not track as a regression. Thanks.
