Details

(Whiteboard: [nsbeta3-]) 

Visit the above URL (or any frameset). Drag a link just a millimeter or so and 
drop it. Result - link opens as "_parent" instead of opening in the frame that 
it was called from. Links are not draggable from non-frameset pages until the 
drag goes off of the Mozilla window or into the toolbar. This behavior should 
apply to framesets as well. A user going quickly could hold the mouse button 
down for a microsecond while clicking and thus "drag" a link. This will break 
framesets.
cannot seem to repro this...perhaps i'm misunderstanding the steps? i drag a
link in one of the frames just a tad, and the appropriate page loads. tested on
linux, tho' [2000.09.13.08 opt comm].

You are getting it right. The point is that links should not drag and open a 
page. Try it on a single page (no frames) where they behave as they should.
All/All 2000091204 builds.
1. Go to a framed page.
2. Click+hold a link. Drag it a little or a lot, but stay within the frame.
3. Let go.

Nothing should happen. Instead we load the page.

btw this is annoying cuz I accidentally click stuff all the time and I know I can just drag
and let go to escape.

pink, is this at the toolkit level?

yeah, this is probably mine, though i'm not sure what's so different about frame 
pages. i must not be storing the document correctly, or comparing the right 
documents.

nav triage team:
this sucks, but it is recoverable.
reluctantly recommenda minus, but that is decision of pink and his team.

Non-linked images are draggable in framesets too. Dragging an image a few 
millimeters and dropping it results in a Netscape search on the URL of that 
image. Bad bad bad.
