User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.2) Gecko/20090729 Firefox/3.5.2 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)

Drag and drop from window A into window B's search box loads the search page on window A, and window B is only able to scroll with the mouse wheel. Middle click to scroll in the direction the mouse is moved does not work, not using the arrow keys to scroll on window B.
Basically you cant use window B until window A is closed.(or the tab from window A that the text was dragged from.)
(Window B can be moved across the screen and maximized/restored by double clicking on the title bar.)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.open two Firefox windows. (Not tabs)
2.highlight text in one window.
3.Drag the highlighted text to the other window's search box.
Actual Results:  
The window dragged from loads the search page, the window dragged to becomes non functional.

Expected Results:  
Loaded the search in the window that received the drop, and kept functionality in both windows.

Default theme.
