40070 - text inputs and buttons don't get onmouseup for click-drag out

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect, P3)

Description

[Jesse Ruderman]

1. load attachment to bug 39985
2. deselect "lightgraydiv" on the right to reduce noise
3. for various form elements, mousedown on the element and mouseup elsewhere

expected result: 
- all elements get onmousedown and onmouseup (but not onclick).

actual result: 
- text inputs (textbox, password box, and textarea) fail to get onmouseup  
- dropdown listbox gets onclick (bug 40003).

I haven't checked the specs on this, but it doesn't seem to make sense that 
some elements would get onmousedown but not onmouseup when you click-drag out.

I am not sure if mjudge's recent mouse capture changes are affecting this of 
whether it is a generic event targeting issue.

Attachment: simple testcase

This bug has been marked "future" because the original netscape engineer working 
on this is over-burdened. If you feel this is an error, that you or another 
known resource will be working on this bug,or if it blocks your work in some way 
-- please attach your concern to the bug for reconsideration.

Tom, I can take this if you give me a brain dump on what needs to be done.

hmm, I don't see how this is regression...IE5 does the same as mozilla, and
NS4.7 gives an error...

Hmm, now the textbox is getting onmousedown, onmouseup, and onclick.  I don't 
think a drag-out is supposed to count as a click...

I'm now seeing just onmouseup and onmousedown for a drag-out from the textbox.
Jesse, can you check again?

[Jesse Ruderman]

On build 11/09, I'm still seeing onmousedown, onmouseup, and onclick.

The extra onclicks are bug 156090.  This bug WFM.
