1832054 - [Wayland] Cancelling tab dragging by pressing Esc still creates a new window

Status: NEW

(Core :: Widget: Gtk, defect, P3)

Description

[Kestrel]

Attachment: Dragged tab opens in new window after pressing Escape key

STR:

1. Start with MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 on Ubuntu 23.04.
2. Drag a tab out of the tab strip and over the same window.
3. Press Esc key to cancel drag.

Expected:
Drag is cancelled without dropping.

Actual:
The dragged tab shows the cancel animation but still performs a drop and opens in a new window.

Does not happen with XWayland.

Yes, this is somehow expected. When Wayland D&D ends outside of any window which accepts the D&D the operation is canceled automatically. We use a workaround to create new windows when D&D ends outside of main Firefox window and always create a new window in that case.

I don't think it's actionable unless the D&D protocol is changed somehow. AFAIK Chrome (OS?) has protocol extension for it:
