85365 - Autocomplete dialog popup while dragging links leaves Mozilla in server grab/frozen state

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 81912

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

Description

[Hampton Maxwell]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.2.12 i386; en-US; rv:0.9.1+) Gecko/20010611
BuildID:    2001061108

If you are dragging a link or a block of selected text in Linux, the cursor goes
into server grab mode (where the mouse cursor is a triangle and paper icon).  If
a page is loading while you do this and when it finishes loading, it pops up an
autocomplete dialog, the browser will be stuck in server grab mode and the
Xserver will become locked preventing you from doing anything in X.  The
keyboard and mouse will not respond, so the only way out is to jump to the
console and kill mozilla, bringing the Xserver back to normal.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to mozillazine.org and click to one of the response sections (the more
comments the better).  Enter in two different values in the username/password
section of mozillazine.org comments and save the values.  This will trigger a
Select User dialog where you can select between the values next time you visit
that page.
2. Reload the page and while it is loading, quickly drag and hold any link on
the page so that the cursor turns into a drag icon.  You must do this before the
page finishes loading, otherwise the dialog will lock you out from the rest of
the application.
3. When the page finishes loading, the autocomplete dialog will popup,  to
select between the two stored values.

Actual Results:  The cursor remains in drag mode, preventing you from cancelling
the autocomplete dialog or getting out of drag mode. The only way to fix this is
to kill the Xserver or switch to the console and kill the process (switching
back and forth between X and the console doesn't help).

Expected Results:  Mozilla should exit server grab mode when an autocomplete
popup is triggered.

Works fine on recent Windows nightly.

Should apply any time autocomplete dialog pops up, but I only saw this on
completed page load.
