168378 - Drag to page containing INPUT elements tries to use the dragged text as URL

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Camino Graveyard :: Drag & Drop, defect)

Description

[Jakub Nesetril]

Case: dragging of arbitrary text from a text source (mailer,text editor etc.) to
a  Chimera window containing INPUT TYPE=TEXT or TEXTAREA elements.

Expected results: insertion of text into the input element
Current  results: browsers tries to use the text as URL and open it

Details: Mac OS 10.1.5, Chimera 0.5, dragging from BBEdit
         On Mozilla (1.0.1) this dragging works correctly

[Greg K.]

Confirmed using Chimera/2002090913 on 10.1.5. Dropping text on a text input
element doesn't paste the text into the element as it does in Mozilla.

Comment 2

[Ludovic Hirlimann [:Usul]]

fixed with 2003090102 on 10.2.6.

Comment 3

[John Worthington]

If this bug is fixed shouldn't it be closed?

Comment 4

[Jasper]

This bug is not fixed. Try it on this bug page.
You can drag text into the comment field but not in the find bug field.

Heh, that's wacky.  I was trying to see if this was a dupe of 274641 or 225862,
and trying to drag something into the "Find Bug #" field instead inserts it into
this comments field (which otherwise refuses to accept drags, opposite of what
Jasper says in comment 4).  Camino 2004121208 (v0.8+), Mac OS X 10.3.6

I'm going to add these textarea/form drag-drop bugs to the 1.0 list, since
proper drag-drop seems like a basic operation to expect from a 1.0 release :-)

This would seem to be because of this:

// XXXPINK
// hack, because we're currently getting the point in Carbon global coordinates,
// but obviously the cocoa views don't know how to convert those (because they
// use an entirely different coordinate system).
  geckoEvent.refPoint.x = 50; geckoEvent.refPoint.y = 50;
