246380 - [10.2, 10.3] Can't cancel a drag using command-period (cmd-.)

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Camino Graveyard :: Drag & Drop, defect)

Description

[timeless]

Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8a2) Gecko/20040608
Camino/0.8+

(cvs build w/ one patch to camino project and one patch to plevent for xpcshell)

Steps:
1. drag a link over finder
1' expect the cursor to change to an arrow w/ an attached link reference
(ideally the object you're dragging)
1` the dragged item is just represented as a box. not the concern of this bug
2. cmd-.
2' expect the drag to cancel and the cursor to revert to what it would normally
be if you weren't dragging (because you shouldn't be).
2` the drag is not cancelled.
3. let go of the mouse button over finder
3' expect nothing to happen
3` camino drops a link object on my desktop (safari does not)

hrm, the finder doesn't do this either. i wonder what the dealio is.

[Stuart Morgan]

Most of our DnD works correctly, just not links, images, etc. dragged from the
content area.

I think hitting escape would be a more common method of stopping a drag.. this
works in the finder, but not in camino.

Comment 4

[Stuart Morgan]

Escape also works with everything except drags from the content area.

Comment 5

What do you mean by content area? escape and cmd+. don’t work on drags from
*anywhere* in the browser window, including the url bar, bookmark manager, etc.

[Stuart Morgan]

Hm, strange. Everything but the content area works for me until I've tried
dragging something from the content area, then I can't cancel any of them.

OS X 10.2.8/Build 2004082512 (v0.8.1):

Works for me. I was able to drag items both from the URL to the desktop and from
the content area to the desktop and pressing ESC or pressing CMD-. stopped the
drag. The link was not dropped on my desktop.

Wow, very interesting. I get the same behavior here--this also applies to the
whole Camino session, it's not per-window.

This WFM in 1.0.2rc. Esc and cmd-. both work fine on drags from the content area or native Cocoa areas.

Still broken at least on 10.3 and 1.0+ and trunk (basically everything still is as Stuart says in comment 6).  

I would have thought this was some of our content-area Esc/cmd-period trapping....

[Stuart Morgan]

Since this now WFM on the trunk on 10.4, and 10.4 is now the minimum for trunk, closing as WFM (since we won't we rewriting core DnD for branch).
