59799 - Dragging between content areas broken

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: XUL, defect, P1)

Description

[tor]

Dragging links from one content area to another recently broke.  Your
drag&drop checkin on 8 Nov 2000 seems a likely suspect.

Occasionally the drop will attempt to open a link <URL><link text>, but
most of the time it doesn't do anything.

The collective mind of #mozilla thinks alecf might be involved - CCing him.

I'm pretty sure this worked with my patch.  Alec, any ideas?

Comment 3

[Alec Flett]

Yes, I might have broken this, though last I checked this was still working.
Blake, if you think this is me feel free to reassign.

Note that the SECOND time you drag any link, the drop will fail. This is
documented in bug 58122

passing off to alec for now.  dnd is acting very funny and is happening on way 
too many elements that it shouldn't be.  I don't think this was happening with 
my patch.

this patch also fixes the case where we were dragging anonymous XBL like parts
of the scrollbar, and random parts of the sidebar.
