155872 - drag and drop of images and files doesn't work

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 45823

(SeaMonkey :: UI Design, defect)

Description

[Jonas Krat]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC; en-US; rv:1.1a+) Gecko/20020703
BuildID:    2002070308

In Netscape 4.78 when I drag a image or link to the desktop of the Finder I make
a copy of that particular image on the desktop. Under Mozilla it just leaves a
link or a clipping with the ALT-tags content. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Browse to a page with a image eg. www.mozilla.org
2. Drag a random image to the desktop
3. Drag a link to a file or link to another page

Actual Results:  You now have a couple of MacOS links on the desktop but no files

Expected Results:  I would have expected having a image file or other file on
the desktop

I have confirmed this bug on my system.

In contrast, I get the correct behaviour with both iCab PPC 2.8.1 and IE 5.1.5
i.e. I can drag the banner gif from the top of the mozzila.org page off onto my
desktop
