309603 - Do not leave drag mode when mouse button released outside of browser window.

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Roy Gardner]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050908 Firefox/1.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050908 Firefox/1.4

I had a Flash movie playing in the browser. The movie contains an object that
can be rotated by dragging with the mouse when the mouse button is down. If I
drag until the mouse cursor leaves the browser window, release the mouse button
and then move the cursor back into the Flash movie I'm still in drag mode. This
does not happen on release versions on Mac OS X and XP platforms.

Reproducible: Always



Expected Results:  
Release of the mouse button outside of the window should mean the mouse is no
longer in drag mode.

Is this still an issue in the 1.5 release?

This is a mass search for bugs that are in the Firefox General component, are UNCO, and have not been changed for 1000 days and have an unspecified version. 

Reporter, can you please update to Firefox 3.6.10, create a fresh profile, http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/managing+profiles, and test again. If you still see the bug, please update this bug. If the issue is gone, please set the resolution to RESOLVED > WORKSFORME.
