202135 - if you drag a link too quickly, mozilla forgets

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

[Michael Rusignola]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130
Build Identifier: Mozilla 1.4a

Drag and drop of links found on a webpage seems to have taken a major step
backwards in Mozilla 1.4a. I've noticed that if you attempt to drag a link too
quickly, Mozilla "forgets" that you were dragging a link -- that is, the mouse
pointer turns back to the standard pointer and the link is no longer on the
clipboard.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have the browser in tabbed mode
2. Go to a webpage that contains a link
3. Click on a link and quickly drag it towards another tab


Actual Results:  
The link you're dragging is lost.

Expected Results:  
The link should stay on the pointer, so that it can be successfully dropped in a
new tab.

Confirm in 20030414 build.  Position the mouse near the edge of the link, then
drag quickly.

Dup of bug 200745?

Tried several ways too.  Naah, this isn't a dup of bug 200745 - that deals with
events.

Sorry for the late response.
