689991 - Data flavors from drags of text from the address bar are all text flavors, whereas previous versions included link flavors.

Status: UNCONFIRMED

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

Description

[Rhema Linder]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; rv:6.0.2) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/6.0.2
Build ID: 20110902133214

Steps to reproduce:

I dreagged a link from the address bar by clicking in the address bar, selecting the text with ctrl-A, and then dragged that text to a Java application window that accepts drops.


Actual results:

All of the returned data flavors are text based.
This does not happen in other versions of Firefox.

 Here is the list of returned data flavors on FF 6.

Expected results:

The same data flavors that appear for links, like the ones given when the icon next to the address bar is dragged, should be applied to urls dragged from the address bar.
