36798 - drag url from location textbox to window reloads page even if page is the same as in location

Status: VERIFIED WONTFIX

(SeaMonkey :: UI Design, defect, P3)

Description

[Gwyn Judd]

From Bugzilla Helper:

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.2.14 ppc; en-US; m15)

BuildID:    2000041919



When you drag a url from the location window to the main text/web area it will

reload the page in the url, even if the page that is being displayed and the url

are the same just as though you had pressed reload



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

1.Go to http://www.mozilla.org	

2.Drag the url "bookmark" icon thingy from the location window down into the

main part of the window and relesae the mouse button	



Actual Results:  The page is reloaded, even though the url you dragged is

exactly the same as the page being displayed	



Expected Results:  I think it should check to see if the page beiong displayed

is the same as the url being dragged, and if it is it shouldn't reload.



Things to be careful of might be that in the case of a dynamically generated

page the "right thing" to do might be to reload the page if the page has not

expired.

Don, Mr. Pinkerton says that you'd know who should get this bug. (He indicated 
that currently nobody owned the code that handles URL drags to the browser 
window.)

Having second thoughts...

IE reloads the page if you do this.  I think that's the best idea, and the 
least surprising.  It doesn't seem like a good idea to say `sure, drop it' (by 
not providing any cursor drop feedback), and then do nothing when they do.  I 
think I'd recommend WONTFIX here...
