Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Core :: DOM: Copy & Paste and Drag & Drop, defect, P3)

Description

[anil]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:59.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/59.0
Build ID: 20171128100440

Steps to reproduce:

Select and drag any file (html, images) from file explorer, desktop to a running instance of Firefox. 


Tested on : 
firefox -v
Mozilla Firefox 59.0a1

 uname -a
Linux xx 4.10.0-21-generic #23-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 28 16:14:22 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux



Actual results:

- Cursor changes to (circle / forbidden) for half to a second, and changes to (drag and drop add cursor). 
- File does not get opened if dropped early (before the cursor changes to dnd add)


Expected results:

- Instead of the delay, files should be allowed to be dropped immediately instead of the delay.
- Other browsers, Text editors do not exhibit such behavior.

The first cursor (circle / forbidden), i think is set by OS,explorer which continues when cursor is over Firefox. But the delay exists regardless.

Which file explorer? Which desktop environment? This needs clear steps to reproduce.
