294001 - Can't drag link whose text contains non-ASCII chars to bookmarks bar

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Camino Graveyard :: Toolbars & Menus, defect)

Description

[Smokey Ardisson (offline for a while; not following bugs - do not email)]

Steps to repro:

1.  Go to URL above
2.  Attempt to drag the link "Français" to bookmarks bar
3.  Observe bm toolbar "cursor" but no new bookmark
4.  Now drag "Deutsch"
5.  Observe bookmark entitled "Deutsch"

I think this is a regression from some of Bruce's bookmark handling stuff in bug
155484 and friends, but I'm not positive and don't have old builds around atm to
check.  It's definitely a regression fromn 0.8.4, where at least a bookmark got
added (name was URL, rather than link text).  Seems like this might be a big
issue for our non-English users.

It works if you drag from a tab title or location bar, oddly.

This regressed between 4-8 and 4-13 (no other nightlies in between), which I
think points the finger at the patch from bug 287118 and bug 155484 (not sure
what was where).

fixed. we lost the fallback to the pasteboard string in the latest round of fixes.

it still doesn't get the extended char, but 0.8 doesn't do that either.
