This bug seens a duplicate of the 228269and 178519. But since 178519 is marked as closed I wonder why I got this problem :

I have a div that I want to be able to drag it using mouse. This imply to capture mousedown, mousemove and mouseup events. I try a lot of drag'n drop toolkit and they all have the same problem :

If you click in a "unused" place inside the div (not over child nodes, even anonymous), you can drag your div wherever you want, even outside window. Mousemove and mouseup events are correctly fired.

But, if you click over a child nodes, you can still move your div but not outside browser window anymore. This is somewhat unexpected.

This should be more clear, by playing with the uploaded HTML page.


Reproducible: Always

Thierry,

I get the expected results when trying your attachment 225620 [details] with Seamonkey 1.5a rv:1.9a4pre build 2007042110 under XP Pro SP2. I can drag both <div>s outside window viewport, even when dragging from text child nodes (when cursor become I-bar/I-shape). 

Resolving as WORKSFORME

Nice, that it works in SeaMonkey, but sadly not yet in Firefox 2.0.0.3 (WinXP).

Thierry, 

Seamonkey trunk build share the same code as Minefield 3: it's on the trunk.
"(..) be sure that you've reproduced your bug using a build released within the past three days. Our development process moves at lightning speed, and the bug you've found may already have been fixed. (Nightly [trunk] builds can be downloaded from ftp.mozilla.org, (...)"

Setting Version: -> 1.8 Branch

There is no known spec on dragging outside the browser viewing area. If you try attachment 101322 [details] with MSIE 7, you'll see that the blue DHTML layer does not move when outside outside browser window viewport.

This bug is also related to bug 29697.

Setting severity: -> minor
