562873 - Master Password Prompt While Dragging Image Locks Up Program

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[jnguyen327]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.3) Gecko/20100401 Firefox/3.6.3
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.3) Gecko/20100401 Firefox/3.6.3

If the master password prompt shows up (in my case, it is triggered by Xmarks trying to sync with its servers) when you are dragging an image, the drag state is not cleared and control of the browser is lost (at least to the mouse).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open browser.
2. Drag an image in a web page.
3. Somehow have the master password prompt be triggered (in my case, through an add-on).
Actual Results:  
Mouse is left in the "unallowed" icon (circle with a slash) and nothing in the Firefox window is responsive to the mouse.

Expected Results:  
The dragging of the image should have been cleared and canceled so that mouse usage would act per any usual master password prompt.
