268738 - can't use drag and drop a list item (a link/an image URL) to Location Bar (for example)

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: Page Info Window, defect)

Description

[Miha Filej]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1

In the page info you can normally drag an URL, let's say, in the URL-bar, to
make the browser load that address. It is not the case with a list item. When
trying to drop the grabbed item nothing happens, the "denied" mouse pointer can
be seen.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the Page Info dialog (Tools > Page Info)
2. Select the Links tab
3. Drag an item somewhere

Actual Results:  
The dragged item cannot be dropped.

Expected Results:  
Allow the item to be dropped.

I have verified that this happens.

On the following code:

a href="#test"

and

a name="#test"

Netscape's Mozilla 7.X and firefox 1.0 will not recognize these as named
anchors, thus preventing users from using the link so provided within the document.

How that comment is relevant to this bug in any way is escaping me. The reason
that is happening is because the <a name=""> part should not include the "#".

Now back to this actual bug, the seamonkey bug related to this is bug 69295 (I
think).

WFM?  The only place URL's can be dragged in 3.5's page info is from "Media" and that drags fine to location bar.

There is no longer a Links pane in the Page Info window. Marking this as INVALID.
