Confirmed using Camino/2003-05-30-04.

Comment 2

[Chris Casciano]

is this a bigger overall issue with text dragging that should extend beyond the
google search field to the URL bar or other places?

Comment 3

I'd like to be able to drag and drop text into form text fields, too. That would
be great.

[Jasper]

Would code from Bug 162791 (URL bar accepts Drag & Drop of strings/URLs) help?

This is a definite 1.0 bug. How do we do the Google Search widget now? Is this a
hard bug to fix?
