Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 191400

i'm writing a a drag'n'drop app for managing links. this app can of course
accept any links ( moz, ie, ns ) and can drag'n'drop the links to any browser.
while ie and ns always perform a DROPEFFECT_COPY or DROPEFFECT_LINK, moz ALWAYS
does a DROPEFFECT_MOVE until i press ctrl. is this intended ? in my opinion it
would be better if this would default to DROPEFFECT_COPY and toggle to
DROPEFFECT_MOVE by ctrl if necessary.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. drag a link from app to moz
2. looking at the great looking "MOVE"-cursor
3. drop on moz ( mainframe, htmlview )
Actual Results:  
after drop WITHOUT pressing ctrl, the link is beeing deleted from the source-app
because of DROPEFFECT_MOVE


Expected Results:  
default to DROPEFFECT_COPY when accepting links/urls

I'm pretty sure this is a dupe of bug 191400.
