49409 - Dragging link into text input breaks drag and drop

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: DOM: Copy & Paste and Drag & Drop, defect, P3)

Description

[Jeffrey Baker]

Tested on Linux build 2000-08-17-13.  If you drag and drop a link into a text
input, that link can no longer be dragged properly.  To reproduce:

1) Open two mozilla windows at http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/
2) From window 1, drag any link into the bug number input box in window 2
3) From window 1, drag the same link into the content area of window 2

Notice that window 2 doesn't navigate to the link, like it should

4) From window 1, drag any other link into the content are of window 2

Notice that window properly proceeds to open the dropped link.  The same
behavior can be observed with any <INPUT> or <TEXTAREA> element.

I am seeing this too on Linux build from a couple of days back.

What seems to be happening is that the second drag and drop is actually a copy
paste of the link text. You can confirm this by selecting some text, then middle
click on the content area of the second window.

[e-mail] suggested this might be [e-mail]'s stuff, like a
problem with drag start. Reassigning.

This looks a lot like 50639.

ok, i see what this bug is:

if i drag to the input field of the second window, subsequent drag&drops to the 
content area of the browser do not catch the drop event.  I need to look at this 
more once we have the anonymous content issues resolved with drag and drop.

I think this should be fixed before we release, so I'm setting this to be m19, 
its not really a performance bug, but it is a useablity breaking problem, and 
its not hard at all to reproduce.

Works for me (new windows tip).  Reopen if you're still seeing (Linux-
specific?)...
