516602 - Can't look around in Google Maps' Street View

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core Graveyard :: Plug-ins, defect)

Description

[Justin Dolske [:Dolske]]

Seen on current OS X trunk, I think it's been like this for a week or two.

1. Load Google Maps, zoom in to some city
2. Drag the yellow Street View guy to a road
3. Click and drag the Street View, err, view, to try and look left or right.

Instead of changing what direction you're looking, the camera swings around to point straight up. You're basically stuck like this; clicking and dragging will make the view wiggle around some (rotate?), but it remains pointing straight up at the sky.

Bug 435041 (Implement Cocoa NPAPI event model) looks most likely from that range...

Attachment: fix v1.0

This fixes the problem, didn't untangle drag event creation well enough in the Cocoa event model patch.

You can probably write a test for this...

We can write mouse event tests for plugins when 515003 lands, it has a native mouse testing infrastructure. Will file a bug on that when it does.
