84087 - x server hang dragging from a popup menu

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core :: XUL, defect)

Description

[Ben Goodger (use ben at mozilla dot org for email)]

For a test for this, comment out the lines in
xpfe/browser/resources/content/navigatorDD.js that read:

if (navigator.platform != "Win32" && aEvent.target.localName != "button") 
  return;
Then create a folder on your personal toolbar, and place 1 or more bookmarks
inside it. Open the folder on the personal toolbar, and try dragging from it. 

Expected results:
- drag from menu, potentially dropping shortcuts on desktop etc. 

Actual results:
- x server hangs. 

Suspect this is something to do with native widgets somehow interfering? 

Formed as a result of 79003. If we fix this bug, we can make the code in the
personal toolbar only ignore mac, as that's what Mac users seem to prefer ;)

isn't this the same issue as in bug 96504?

Bug 125818 has nothing to do with popups.  It happens when I drag a link from
one nav window to another.

The report is for linux platforms

Not finding the file navigatorDD.js

And $ rg "if \(navigator\.platform != \"Win32\"" shows no results

Too out of date and vague to be useful any more.
