179995 - cleanup: Remove nsAppShell mouse/key event ordering code

Status: NEW

(Core :: DOM: UI Events & Focus Handling, defect)

Description

[Randell Jesup [:jesup] (needinfo me)]

From bug 157144:

Actually this fix does *not* change the way the WIN32 GDI works. It does not
attempt to fix it. It doesn't invert the order of any messages or similar
nastiness, which is what is currently going on in nsAppShell by the way. In
fact, we will probably be able to remove the code in nsAppShell which pulls out
the mouse and key events ahead of other events once this patch goes in. It also
allows embedded apps to run using unmodified msg processing loops.  The WIN32
message processing does not work exactly the same way as other platforms. Thats
to be expected. The Widget and Gfx modules are littered with code where we  have
identified native platform behavior discrepancies and make them compatible with
the XP code's expectations. This is just happens to be another instance of that.
