Details

STR on touch friendly hardware: 1) open www.cross-cross-coffee-cup.com 2) attempt to drag coffee cup elements up onto the cup wrappper results: sometimes this works, but a lot of times you'll end up selecting content in the page instead. The w3c spec details how sites should handle the delivery of touch input events such that mouse input will not be delivered. Either this site doesn't do that, or possibly we aren't honoring the spec.
Note Chrome desktop does not have the same issue on the same touch friendly hardware.

Jim, Is this bug something that needs to be tracking-18 and has a patch WIP ? Comment 56 in 726615 suggests it may be possible that this bug is due to our implementation.Can you please help confirm if that holds true ?
I looked at this from our end and found we were filtering mouse input. So I sense it is probably due to the site not expecting firefox to support touch events. We should dig into this more but I don't think it needs to hold a release.
Not tracking it for FF18 based on comment 3.Although please feel free to uplift a patch if needed in case an issue was found.Approval will be considered based on the risk assessment and where we stand in the release cycle.
