442204 - New window (with Java applet inside), opened by JavaScript, lost Drag-n-drop area

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[George Ulyanov]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50727)
Build Identifier: Mac OS X 10.5.2, Firefox 2.0.0.14

I've made an html page (simple) with one link only, that opens a new window with a Java applet inside.

Something like that:
test.htm opens test_applet.htm by calling 'window.open();'

After this new window appeared - the applet worked fine (the applet accepts files, dropped in it, and shows them).
Then, when I moved this window to another position - the applet stopped to accept the files at all. But, if I move the window for just some pixels (for example, move it on a half selfsize) - DnD works partially. It looks like the DnD area is static and stay at first positon where the opened window appeared!

It happens everytime in FF 2.0.0.14 under Mac OS. in FF 3.0 everything works alright.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. make simple html file with the link that opens another html file by window.open() method.

2. another html file, that would be opened, should have Java applet. you can use the next page for testing:
http://demo.aurigma.com/ImageUploader5/ConcurrentUpload/default.aspx

3. start it all under Mac, in FF 2.0.0.14.

4. DnD some picture into Applet. (Do not move this applet-window!). that should work.

5. Move this applet-window to another position on screen and try to drop some picture into applet. this shouldn't work.
Actual Results:  
The applet stopped to get dropped pictures from a user.

Expected Results:  
The applet should get dropped pictures and show them.

You can use the next link for the opening window:

Does this still happen with Firefox 3?

Are you able to test on Windows or Linux?

Hello Steven,

Well, as I said before - everything works ok in FF3. So, such behavior is in FF2 (2.0.0.14) only.
AND. This happened under Mac OS only.
