292011 - Draging image in certain area of web page causes image selection

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Chris]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050414 Firefox/1.0.3
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050414 Firefox/1.0.3

A trivial thing on this dynamic web site (http://www.ncf.ca/~bh447/pngdemo/)
where Firefox will highlight the image as being selected when moving it to
certain areas of the web page, which I feel takes away from the visuals of the
page where it probably is expected / required.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Mouse over either the eagle or sun image.
2. Single click and hold down.
3. Move the image around the screen.

Actual Results:  
The image becomes selected / highlighted and the blue 'selection' visual key
becomes visible.

Expected Results:  
That the image doesn't become selected in this manor.

With Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050414
Firefox/1.0.3 I see what the reporter describes if I click and hold on the sun
.png and drag it up so the image is level with any of the links at the top of
the page.

Strangely, in Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8b2)
Gecko/20050422 Firefox/1.0+ I can't click and hold to drag, I have to click,
hold, drag and release - and only then will I be able to move the sun .png - but
that's for a different bug.

you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
