177194 - X pointer remains grabbed after drag-n-drop

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Dan Mosedale (:dmosedale, :dmose)]

Drag some messages from the threadpane to a folder in the folder pane.
95% of the time it works.  But a number of times a day, the drop works, and then
the pointer is left ungrabbed...  which totally hoses things.  I have to then
either kill the X server entirely, or else login from another machine and kill
mozilla.

Does Esc help? If not, i find it easyer to escape to a console with ctrl+alt+F2
do a "killall mozilla-bin" from there, and then ctrl+alt+F7 to get back to the X
session.

The keyboard seems to be frozen or grabbed also, so ESC doesn't work.  However,
the ctrl-alt-f2/f7 trick does seem to work; I thought I'd tried it, but must
have been mistaken.  Blizzard, do you ever see this problem?  Any suggestions on
how best to debug it?

Does this happen with gtk 1.2 as well as gtk2?  I see this with my gtk2 build,
for sure.

No, but I don't much use D&D, and comment #0 says "95% of the time it works". Reporter (dmose), do you still see this?

dmose no longer uses SM.  yoru test seems sufficient to say this is WFM.
