283362 - You can't drag and drop URLs onto Camino Windows which have javascript loading images

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Camino Graveyard :: Drag & Drop, defect)

Description

[Jo Rhett]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050222 Camino/0.8+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050222 Camino/0.8+

Most news sites use javascript to load/replace advertising images constantly. 
If the Camino window is doing this, you can't drop another URL on the window. 
You are forced to close the active window, then control-click Open New Window on
the URL and get a new window.

Firefox does not have this problem.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open two windows
2. Try to drag a link from one window to the other

Actual Results:  
If the page is busing executing any javascript actions, the drag pointer will
not resolve and scuttles back to the original window.

Expected Results:  
The receiving window should stop executing the javascript and start loading the
new URL, just like Firefox/IE/Opera/Safari/etc.

FYI I am no longer seeing this problem repeatable in 0.83.
