Status: Untriaged Owner: ---- Labels: Type-Bug Pri-2 OS-All Area-Misc New issue 8166 by [email protected]: Firefox's tab D&D interacts badly with Chrome http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=8166
What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Open a Firefox 3.1 window and open some tabs. Also open a Chrome window. 2. Drag a tab out of Firefox 3.1 and drop it on the screen over a Chrome window. What is the expected output? What do you see instead? Expected given Firefox's implementation of this feature is that the tab is detached into a new Firefox window. This happens. But what is not expected is that the the URL is also loaded in Chrome, which it does. It seems like we're treating a plaintext URL drop as a load request. It's Firefox's [IMO mis]use of OLE (a data exchange technology) to implement a tab dragging (a UI/window management feature) that's causing this. Safari and Chrome don't have this issue with our respective tab dragging impls dragging over other OLE targets because we don't use OLE for tab dragging. Nonetheless, Safari and IE don't have this problem when accepting drops from Firefox tabs, and since it seems like Firefox 3.1 is going to ship with this implementation of tab dragging, it seems like we should dial back the WebDropTarget impl a bit and have it ignore these drops. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
