<b>Problem</b><br>
The event properties that are supposed to indicate the mouse button state are
not set properly in the "onmousemove" handler.
The "button" property isn't set to any value and the old Netscape 4.x
"which" property is not set to the correct value.<br>
The "button" property seems to get set properly to a value of 2 in
the "onmousedown" handler in response to a right-click, however, it
does
not get set to a value of 1 in response to a left-click.
</div>
</body>
<html>
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Run the HTML file included in the description
2.
3.
Actual Results: "which" and "button" properties of the event object are not
set to reflect the mouse button state during "onmousemove" handlers.
Expected Results: "which" should be set to 1 if the left mouse button is
pressed and 3 if the right mouse button is pressed.
"button" should set bit #0 when the left mouse button is pressed and should set
bit #1 when the right mouse button is pressed.

Reporter: Is this working for you now?
Using a wheel mouse I get for OnMouseDown on BuildID 2003020308 on WinXP SP1
Mouse click Left Middle Right
event.which 1 2 3
event.button 0 1 2
Is this correct or not?
No response from reporter -> Marking as WFM
Reopen if this is still a problem.

I see bogus results in the testcase. Mozilla 1.7.3 and Firefox 1.0 always show
which == 19 and button == 0, a recent Mozilla nightly shows which == 65536 and
button == 65535. Reopening the bug...

It will be VERY nice, if I can get the "button" or "which"
property NOT onmousedown only, but onmousemove also.
I just want to know which mouse button is pressed during mousemove.
I don't wanna capture mousedown to find this out, because probably the
button was pressed or released OUTSIDE the current browser window.
So it seems WAY necessary that, during mousemove event, "button" or
"which" attributes are set to the appropriate button number.

What if multiple buttons are pressed during mouse move? And how does the
integer field (button) indicate that no button is pressed? I think this should
be wontfix -- if people need button information during mouse move events we need
a new way of getting it (buttonSet), not the same way it works for click, etc.

This worked OK in Firefox 1.0 and does not work in Firefox 1.5 beta 2. Our
application (Kerio MailServer Webmail) relies heavily on drag'n'drop operations,
which are now completely broken in Firefox. Other browsers that we support
(MSIE, Safari) have no problem.
This is clearly a bug; we'd need huge changes to our code to work around it. I
would guess that the same problem will be faced also by other drag'n'drop
applications, it's not specific to us.
Please put back Firefox 1.0 behavior.

As comment 6 indicates, there's no workaround to this bug. Scenario:
- press mouse button (application displays "no-drop" cursor)
- move mouse outside browser window
- release button
- move back
Application will still display "no-drop" cursor, and it has no way to avoid it. The window doesn't get mouseUp, so the only remaing method would be to test for pressed button on mouseMove.
This bug is quite visible to the users.

Do we have any idea what broke this?

This is very confusing. This is a bug older than:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=258193
Which actually broke things for FF 1.5...

Enhanced the old test case with reporting e.buttons. This value can be used as a workaround for mousemove event. Do something like that:
function(evt) {
var button = evt.button;
if (evt.type == "mousemove" && evt.buttons) {
if (evt.buttons & 0x01)
button = 0;
else if (evt.buttons & 0x02)
button = 2;
else if (evt.buttons & 0x04)
button = 1;
else
button = 0;
}
console.log("Mouse button:, button);
};
