582260 - Assertion Failed - While trying to drag and drop item on the browser to the bookmark area

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Core :: DOM: Copy & Paste and Drag & Drop, defect, P5)

Description

[Kishur Prabhakaran]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.2.7) Gecko/20100715 Ubuntu/10.04 (lucid) Firefox/3.6.7
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.2.7) Gecko/20100715 Ubuntu/10.04 (lucid) Firefox/3.6.7

ASSERT: empty container
Stack Trace: 
0:(null)
1:get_insertionPoint()
2:onxbldragover([object DragEvent])


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Drag an item, let say picture.
2. Bring it over to the bookmark area.
3. You will see the Assertion Failed error message.
Actual Results:  
The Firefox will generate "Assertion Failed" error message and keeps on bugging you to press on the "OK" button. This will not stop this you click the Close "X" button on the small popup window.

Expected Results:  
Nothing. The main purpose for me is to drag and drop the item earlier on the next new tab. But if accidentally people bring the item (picture), on top of the new tab. Then that is where the problem strike.

If you need any further information, feel free to contact me. I would love to guide on showing this problem to person who wants to fix this issue. Thanks.

Since I understand about the situation. I'm clicking on "X" button. I'm sure some others also face this issue. They might even lose all their tab contents as they need to close and re-open the Firefox windows.

Thanks Kishur, moving to drag and drop component for triage.

Same thing running Firefox 3.6.10 on Ubuntu 10.04 64 bit..

Problem  with one bookmark and won't resolve:

ASSERT: node must have _DOMElement set
Stack Trace: 
0:TV_V_nodeIconChanged([object ResultNodeClassInfo])

Same error all the time.

Bulk-downgrade of unassigned, >=5 years untouched DOM/Storage bugs' priority.

If you have reason to believe this is wrong (especially for the severity), please write a comment and ni :jstutte.
