524020 - Add drag and drop support for multiple objects to nsDataObj

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 513464

(Core :: Widget: Win32, enhancement)

Description

[Kyle Huey (Exited; not receiving bugmail, old account, do not use)]

The nsDataObj implementation does not support dragging and dropping multiple objects simultaneously.

Example:
1) Select (using Ctrl) two disjoint pieces of text on a web page
2) Drag that text to the search box

Result:
Both chunks of text appear in the search box

3) Drag that same text out of firefox and into another program (I used notepad++, but just about anything should work)

Result:
Only the first chunk of text appears in the external program

Goal:
Both chunks of external text appear in the external program.

Note that this isn't limited to just text, it also applies to files and similar stuff as well.
