294013 - strange issue with drag & drop URL

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 289513

(Core :: DOM: Copy & Paste and Drag & Drop, defect)

Description

[yury dubinsky]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

There is a strange behavior of browsers, starting from versions: Firefox 1.0.2
and Mozilla 1.7.7. When a word is drugged and dropped on the browser window, the
browser navigates to the URL, trying this word as a part of URL. Say, if I
drugged the word "mozilla" or "openoffice" I will go to  www.mozilla.org or
www.openoffice.com. It works in such way in all versions before Firefox 1.0.2
and Mozilla 1.7.7. But now it's a bit strange. If the word is drugged from 
any other application it works in the same old way. However, if the word is
drugged from any Mozilla or Firefox window it should be prefixed with the
protocol as "http://"  so, from outside program I still can drug the word
"mozilla" or "openoffice" but from  any browser window I could drug
"http://mozilla" or "http://openoffice"  than the browser will  navigate there.   
 


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.drug any word say mozilla from any windows application: word, editplus etc to
browser window, drop there and browser will navigate to www.mozilla.org 
2. drug the word  from any Mozilla window to another Mozilla Window. The browser
will ignore it.
3. drug from any Mozilla window http://mozilla and again we're on www.mozilla.org

I see this with Mozilla 1.7.8 too. But I gues this is related to Bug 293920.
Duplicate?
