Build ID: 2000062908 Steps to Reproduce: (1) Go to http://www.mozilla.org/quality/help/bug-form.html (2) Select the "1. 2. 3." text in the Steps to Reproduce textarea (3) Try to drag the selection into the "Actual Results" textarea below it. The following appears in the console: ->>>>>>>>>>>>>> Write Clipboard to memory S_OK nsDataObj::GetData2 ->>>>>>>>>>>>>> Read Clipboard from memory ****** DisplayErrCode 0x80004005 S_OK nsDataObj::GetData2 ->>>>>>>>>>>>>> Read Clipboard from memory ****** DisplayErrCode 0x80004005 Obviously worthy of note are the two error code msg's. At http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44309, when I tried to drag from the summary line to any of the other textboxes or textareas on the page, the selection was simply appended to the summary line. No error appeared in the console.

this is basic d&d functionality and needs to work

setting to nsbeta3+

This is going to be a complicated fix probably; Kin has some ideas about it

adding priority to status whiteboard

Accepting bug.

Reassigning to the new editor D&D master anthonyd@netscape.com.

hmmm, what is interesting to note on this bug, is that if I initiate the drag session, move the mouse out of the document, then back onto the document, the drag session behaves as normal, and as you would expect. Anthony

Yeah, I think you're describing bug 47424.

correcting priority field to match the status whiteboard. Anthony

fix in hand, im waiting for the tree to go green, then i will send out for code reviews. anthony

PDT thinks that folks can use cut/paste instead of drag and drop for this functionality. Many on PDT were a bit surprised by this functionity... and were surprised it worked at all. Changing to P4

I admittedly question PDT's familiarity with the product if they were unaware that editor d&d functionality existed.

*hi-5's blake for making a great observation about the pdt team!* anthony

this is fixed and checked in. anthony
