gtk+ dnd patch (2.44 KB, patch)

Description Glynn Foster 2004-01-07 10:09:49 UTC 
In JDS we have a patch to fix up dnd problems with mozilla [both GTK+ 2
based]. Here's a comment from the internal bug -

I believe the problem is that the gnome drag sites do not register the
text/plain type.
erwann.chenede@sun.com 2003-08-05

making the gtk selection handle text/plain drag type fixed the problem for
mozilla 1.4 built
with gtk 1.x.

But the version of mozilla distributed with mercury is built with gtk 2.x.
And apparently it 
doesn't deal the drop type text/plain.

I believe the gtk 2.x - mozilla interaction is causing the drop selection
to be lost in some 
way. 
Note that with my fix for gtk (which is in the nightly) the mozilla drop
icon indicates
the drop site will accept the drag selection (it didn't before).

reassigning to mozilla for further evaluation.

I'll leave my fix in the nightly builds as it fixes the mozilla to gnome
apps drag and drop
problem

See bug 55117 for a plan wrt to text/plain dnd support.

Ahh, ok great. I'll mark this one as a duplicate so, and keep the
patch locally until such a thing is fixed upstream. Thanks Matthias.
