Description Alex Layne 2010-08-28 20:39:31 PDT
User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; en; rv:1.9.0.19) Gecko/2010081818 Camino/2.0.4 (like Firefox/3.0.19)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; en; rv:1.9.0.19) Gecko/2010081818 Camino/2.0.4 (like Firefox/3.0.19)

When I try dragging an image from Camino into a new message in Mail.app, I get the plus sign, but when I release the image it 'flies' back to where it was, meaning it won't attach.  

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a new message in Mail.app.
2. Drag any image from any webpage into the new message pane. 

Actual Results:  
Image will not be attached to message. 

Expected Results:  
Dragged images should attach to new Mail messages.

That seems to work fine on 10.5 with Camino nightly builds (Gecko 1.9.2 based).

On 10.6 this fails. Camino 2.0.4 fails completely. With Camino 2.1a1 (and Firefox 3.6.8 - Fx 4b4): 
- plain text message: the image never appears
- rtf message: a 'missing image' icon appears in the mail message

Nothing appears in Console.

It looks like bogus data is being send, similar to bug 549555.

Missing image icon appearing in an RTF mail message on 10.6.
Comment 3 Robert O'Callahan (:roc) (Mozilla Corporation) 2010-09-05 03:14:44 PDT
Did this ever work on any Gecko in 10.6?
Comment 4 philippe (part-time) 2010-09-05 05:01:34 PDT
No. At least with Gecko 1.9.1 & 1.9.2 there is _some_ sort of improvement, in that we get a 'missing image' icon in rich text mail messages. Plain text messages still get nothing, though.
Maybe (but that is just speculation) bug 428096 'helped' a little.

(it works from Firefox 2.0, it attaches the image to the email message)

FWIW, this wfm in Firefox OSX 10.6 on a latest nightly, using http://302found.tumblr.com/post/1217399754 as a testcase. Is this Camino only?

How about in a 1.9.x-based Firefox? (I assume by "latest nightly" you meant a Gecko 2.0 build.)
Comment 7 Mike Beltzner [:beltzner] 2010-09-30 15:02:36 PDT
Yes, same testcase.
Comment 8 Mike Beltzner [:beltzner] 2010-09-30 15:03:15 PDT
Sorry; works in 3.6.x for me as well is what I meant to say. Latest nightly *did* mean Gecko 2.0pre, but I just tried in 1.9.2 as well.
Comment 9 philippe (part-time) 2010-09-30 16:07:46 PDT
Fwiw, it still does NOT work for me: Camino latest nightly, Minefield latest, Namoroka latest.

beltzner (or anyone else for whom this works): can you download Pasteboard Inspector (http://wiki.caminobrowser.org/User:Julian/Pasteboard_Inspector), open it, drag to there, and then print that window to PDF so that we can see if there's a difference between the flavors for people for whom it works and doesn't work?

I think this is the same bug described in Chrome here: http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20101110003700760 (it WFM on 10.5, just like this bug)

I also found bug 501644 while I was looking for this one (which describes the old 1.9.0 state of things, pre-HTML pasteboard), where I speculated at the time that putting a promised file first might help; not sure if it really will or not.

Oh, one other thought: is there a 64/32-bit angle to this?  Is everyone using 64-bit Mail and 32-bit Gecko when it fails, and 32/32 or 64/64 when it succeeds?  (I can't believe beltzner's Mac would be so old it's 32-bit only, though.)

fwiw, 64bit Mail, 64bit Minefield build(s) here, and it fails (or 64bit Mail, 32bit Camino).

At least with Gecko one can copy paste the image directly…
