312845 - Allow moving a XUL window by dragging by a designated element

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core :: XUL, enhancement)

Description

[Alex Sirota (iosart)]

When a toplevel window has window manager decorations (ie borders and a
titlebar), it can be moved by dragging by its title bar. Applications with
borderless windows usually allow the window to be moved by dragging on inactive
window areas (see bug 132675) or, alternatively, by dragging by a designated
widget/area.

I'm attaching a small patch which modifies the 'resizer' element to support the
latter. Currently, the 'dir' attribute specifies how dragging the resizer
operates on a widnow. I've added a new 'moveonly' value to the 'dir' attribute.
Now, a <resizer dir="moveonly"/> element can be dragged to move a window without
resizing it.

There already is such an element <titlebar>.
