284128 - "click" event in addEventListener is unreliable when selecting text

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Mark Dionne]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; Q312461)
Build Identifier: 

The "click" event from addEventListener is normally generated when you drag 
select text and let up the mouse button. BUT, if you start dragging in one 
paragraph and let up in another, OR you drag across a link, then the event is 
never generated. (The "mouseup" event does seem to work OK.)

    gBrowser = top.document.getElementById("content");
    gBrowser.addEventListener("click", browserClickHandler, false);




Reproducible: Always

Invalid per DOM2 spec:
"The click event occurs when the pointing device button is clicked over an
element. A click is defined as a mousedown and mouseup over the same screen
location."
