38506 - Can highlight text of button

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

Description

Build ID: 2000050715


In the URL above (http://www.mozilla.org/quality/help/bug-form.html), the text 
of the Open Bugzilla Entry Form button near the bottom can be selected if you 
start dragging from the whitespace to the left of it and go right.

Oddly enough, it is this very same button (and seemingly only this button) that 
is the focus of bug 38080

I reported 38080, but how is this a dup?  This regards selecting the button's 
contents, the other involves possible button drag/drop.  Is it the same 
root problem?

Ok, the problem here is what I thought the problem in 38080 was, 38080 said it 
was draggable I thought it meant draggable in the sense of selection. This bug 
is the selection bug, where the text in the button can be selected.

*SPAM*: Changing the QA contact of all open/resolved Selection bugs from 
[e-mail] to [e-mail].  After the many great years of service 
Eli has given to Mozilla, it's time for him to move on; he has accepted a 
position at Eazel.  We'll be sad to see him go, and I'll do my best to fill his 
spot...

Attachment: patch - ensure that file selector button text can't be selected

blake: tested both patches and still see this. With that same button, go down a 
line of text, onto "on Bugzilla's Enter Bug page..". Hold the cursor far to the 
right of the block of text (I have a high resolution) and drag up, still far to 
the right, to the paragraph above (around "Click the button below"). Still 
selectable.

I'm unable to reproduce with those steps.  Please ensure that you patched the
appropriate file correctly...

Comment 14

[Blake Ross]

I checked in the patch because even if it doesn't work in the case you 
mentioned, it can't hurt anything.  Still, I reiterate that I couldn't 
reproduce with your steps.  Please try again in tomorrow's nightlies and let me 
know if you still see the problem.  Thanks!

ensured (it's patched).

Also, I can reproduce this with the "Search" button on the same page (maybe a 
little easier, so I'll describe this too). In the yellow Search Bugzilla table:

1. Put your cursor at the end of the last option ("Look in both Summary and 
Description Fields"), right after the S in fields.
2. Drag the cursor, while selecting text, backwards, over "Look", over the radio 
button, all the way until you reach the left border (while still maintaining the 
same horizontal location from when you started).
3. The Search button shouldn't be highlighted yet. Still holding down on the 
cursor, drag up, past the button, up until "Search Bugzilla" is fully selected.

The "Search" button should now be selected.

I'll test this again tomorrow when the patch is in and get back to you.

OK, I found out why dannunn was still seeing this, and why it's still in 
today's build - I was missing something in my diff. reopening to fix again
