59913 - DnD links in content area broken

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 59799

(SeaMonkey :: UI Design, defect, P3)

Description

[Len Trigg]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.2.14-5.0 i686; en-US; m18) Gecko/20001112
BuildID:    2000111209

Drag and drop of links from one content area to another is not functioning. If
the link text is a single word, then this word gets appended to the url that
attempts to load in the second window. If the link text is multiple words, then
no url load is attempted in the second window.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open an empty browser window
2. Open another browser window to http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/
3. Drag and drop the first link of the page "Report a Bug" to the empty browser
window
** Note the dropped url does not attempt to load.
4. Drag and drop the link on the right "search" to the empty browser window.
** Note the url that is loaded is:
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/query.cgisearch
rather than:
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/query.cgi
(although the correct url does appear briefly in the url bar)


Expected Results:  The pages should load as expected.

The output of the console during the above two tests reads:

Dragging DOM node: <#text>
JavaScript strict warning:
chrome://global/content/nsDragAndDrop.js line 96: reference to undefined
property flavourList.length

JavaScript strict warning:
chrome://global/content/nsTransferable.js line 98: assignment to undeclared
variable trans

(this is during step 3.)

This appears to have broken reasonably recently, as I use DnD of links regularly.

The bug this is duped against if now FIXED, and I'm no longer seeing this
behavior under Linux build 2000111421. Verified dupe.
