Attachment: imageMove.html

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.7; rv:11.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/11.0
Build ID: 20120312181643

Steps to reproduce:

Open attached file in Firefox.  Watch the console.  When you move the mouse, a console event is logged.

Now click down on the image, and start to drag.


Actual results:

mousemove events stop being fired after the mouse moves beyond a few pixels of the mousedown location.


Expected results:

mousemove events should continue to be fired when the mouse moves.

Works fine in Chrome, Safari and Opera.
The result of this bug is that one can't drag bitmap images in SVG.

If this isn't a dupe of bug 511188 it probably depends on it.

Comment 3

[Neil Fraser]

Workaround for anyone hitting this bug: draw a rectangle on top of the image and set fill-opacity to 0.

Agree that this bug is definitely related to bug 511188.

Not sure if this is the same bug or not, but observe the page at
http://cs.sru.edu/~ddailey/fonts/circles7.svg

In all browsers except Firefox, if one draws a couple of circles (by clicking and dragging) and then attempts to move a circle, by clicking and dragging, the browser seems to interpret this action as an attempt to copy and drag the image.

If one lets go of the circle and then tries again, it works the second time.

Bulk-downgrade of unassigned, 4 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.
