Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 100180

(SeaMonkey :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

When Cookie confirm dialog opens while dragging a bookmark in sidebar,
all mouse input is rejected. hitting <ESC> closes cookie dialog and restores
functionality.

when sidebar bookmark list is scrolling (up) when dragging and a (cookie) dialog
appears, same problem *PLUS* Bookmark List will keep scrolling after the dialog
is destroyed via <ESC>.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
(options marked (...[*]) are required for the scrolling defect! - should be obvious)

1. Activate Preferences->Privacy->Cookies->Ask me before storing a cookie
2. Have a (long[*]) sidebar bookmark list open
3. Click a bookmark with a site that will set cookies
4. Drag a bookmark (get the list to scroll in a direction[*])
5. Site will try to set cookie but mozilla will display a dialog if this is
allowed while dragging (maybe you need to get a slow website or timing will be hard)
Actual Results:  
(see details)

Expected Results:  
cancel the drag and drop operation.
stop scrolling at actual position.

application seems dead to people not using keyboard.
on windows, taskmanager reports application to be possibly crashed (no Answer).
