From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.4.4 i686; en-US; rv:0.9+) Gecko/20010504 BuildID: 2001050408 I have a folder of bookmarks in my toolbar. When I open up one folder and begin to drag a bookmark, mozilla freezes up for a long time (between 30 sec - indefinatly). Animating images still play in the browser, just X seems to freeze up. Pressing ALT and moving the mouse seems to fix it. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open up a folder of bookmarks in the toolbar 2. Drag a bookmark. 3. Wait.... 4. Press ALT and move the mouse to stop freeze Actual Results: X and Mozilla freeze until ALT is pressed

Just retested in official 9.0 release. It still occours. In addition, sawing that it freezes X probably wasn't totally acurate. What I mean is that a) your curser is frozen as if you were dragging the bookmark, even if you let the button go and move the curser else where b) Clicks on anything else (in mozilla and else where) have no effect) Weird hun.

Still here in 2001053021. Changing to Blocker because my sister triggered this bug on my computer, and felt the only way to resolve the problem was to reboot the system. I can't say I fault her for this, since I don't think many would try holding alt and dragging the mouse as a fix. This cannot be in a finished product! People shouldn't have to reboot because of their browser. Thats why i switched to Linux in the first place.

Peter, please explain in excrutiating detail what it is you are doing. Are you referring to the bookmarks menubutton on the ptoolbar or do you have your own separate folder full of bookmarks on your ptoolbar? Are you trying to drag the folder when it's open or are you trying to drag an item that is visible when the folder is open? It's all in the details, please provide them so i can have a chance at reproducing this bug and get it on the road to being fixed if it is reproducible bug.

I have a seperate folder of bookmarks in the ptoolbar. When I say drag, I mean I click once on the folder to open it so it displays a set of bookmarks. Then, i click and hold on one of the displayed bookmarks. If i then drag the mouse, I get the GNOME "piece of paper icon", as if I were dragging the bookmark (the windows equivilent is a small box outlined by a simi-transparent line, as if you were selecting multiple icons on the desktop). The "piece of paper icon" stays right where I clicked on the bookmark. My arrow curser is replaced with what looks like a + sign, but with a border on the top and right sides, so it looks like this (sorta) -------- | | | |--------- |--------- | | | It remains like this, seeming to ignore all mouse clicks and keyboard input, although I can continue to move the curser around the screen. Images in mozilla contine to animate, as well as the rest of the desktop (ie music still plays, the clock contines to count, etc...), just you cannot interact with it. This continues until either esc or alt are pressed (the two buttons that collapse the folder from the keyboard), afterwhich the arrow curser returns, with the GNOME paper icon attached to it. Everything is normal then. This does not accour in Windows mozilla. Well, thats about as specific as I can get. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Confirmed with 2001053108 builds. I'm not sure what the hell is going on here but I'll nontheless try to explain: As it turns out, although I didn't know, one can DragNDrop willy-nilly to/from XPpopupmenus. I thought that ability was turned off but I guess I'm wrong. Anyway, on Linux only when you try to drag an item away from a popupmenu things get screwy and you appear to lock up. It turns out of you just press 'ESC', you get UI control back AND you can finish your drop gesture - you just have to wait for the two peices of the cursor to catch back up to each other! To repro: 0. You need to have the bookmarks button 'on' or a real folder(not extended data) on your personal toolbar. 1. Click to pop open the folder 2. click+hold a bookmark that isn't already on your ptoolbar 3. Try to drag to your ptoolbar (anywhere really) 4. Press 'Esc' when things get screwy. 5. Amazingly you can now still finish your drop. I think this bug is a toolkit bug, pink? Linux ONLY

i seem to remember chris dabbling with Linux DnD...

if it's linux only, it sounds like we're doing some server grabs during the xpmenus that is interfering with drag/drop. personally, i don't know why dragging from these popups is allowed (*glares at ben*) and i would recommend turning it off as soon as humanly possible. No one will ever miss this "feature".

In Ben's defense I'd imagine this would have to work(still shocked that it does on Mac and Win) in order to get the slick "drag url's to exactly where you want them to bookmark them" quickfile feature everybody (except Mac 4.x users who never knew it even existed- but i'm not bitter, really) has been bitching about.

nav+pdt triage: not a rtm stopper. nice to have this. moving to mozilla0.9.3. just turning off the ability to drag from the popupmenu would be acceptable for this release so that it doesnt lock up the UI.

Disagree. Hang, fairly easy to reproduce, hangs X. Requires Ctrl+Alt+Escape'ing X server. Recent builds show subsequent crash. Fix is trivial. Patch coming shortly.

What pink means to say is that he thinks this should be disabled everywhere, because as a Mac user, he believes dragging from menus is satanic and wrong. That may be, but for windows users accustomed to IE, the ability to drag out of menus is a feature of the OS. As the functionality works on Windows without hangs or crashes, I'm choosing to keep it working there. I told hyatt about this fix, and he approved of it.

I like this feature and I wish that I had it on linux. I suspect that I could fix it, given the chance. Ben, can you open another tracking bug for that feature with a reference to this bug before you check in, please?

whoa, what the hell, how'd this get past 17 reviewers and whatnot? Although this is an abomination on Mac like Pink says - it DOES work. Please don't start screwing Mac again with features only implemented on Windows(XPFE anyone?). This is the same exact feature that I didn't know existed in Communicator 4.x cuz I was using a Mac. Now we have it on Mac and you wanna take it away again? AND this mostly works on linux. read my comments - i am a professional tester and everything :-) there's no force quiting and restarting X or any crazy crap like that necessary. all you have to do is press 'Esc' AND you can still finish your DnD - it works. reopening out of sheer shock and amazement

Claudius - as far as I can tell the bug described here has been fixed. 1) A new bug has been filed on the D&D issue on linux. Blizzard wants a chance to fix it. 2) If you want this feature re-enabled on mac, you're going to have to mud-wrestle pink (I suspect you'll win, however ;). Anyhow, open a new bug with an appropriate summary.

I don't get it. This bug was nsbeta1+'d but you only checked it into the trunk. So what happens now?
Assignee | ||
Comment 23•23 years ago

Well, Vishy shifted it out of beta1. I fixed it when I fixed it because I thought it was a serious issue that needed attention for RTM. BTW: I'm not against this feature (if I was, I'd have disabled it across all platforms) - I disabled for Mac too because of his repeated claims that "no one would be dragging items out of menus on [his] watch". However, maybe we can twist his arm ;)

If there are any other issue still standing, please log seperate bugs. So if this is checked into the trunk, it will get picked up when mozilla0.9.2 is branched, right? Marking fixed

so it's cool to remove the 'nsbeta1+' then? In effect saying this isn't going to be in the beta and only needs to be checked in and verified on the trunk? I'm not arguing here, just tidying up. I can't very well mark and nsbeta1+ bug as 'VERIFIED' if it's not on the branch. clearing nsbeta1+ someone speakup if that's wrong.
