Dragging bookmark and dialogue causes mouse lockup.

Package: galeon Severity: normal Version: 1.2.0 Synopsis: Dragging bookmark and dialogue causes mouse lockup. Bugzilla-Product: galeon Bugzilla-Component: User interface Description: If I have my Bookmarks Editor open, and a browser window open, I'm able to lock the mouse (and for the mostpart, the keyboard too) with the following steps: 1) Type in an address in the browser that doesn't exist, "www.awebsitethatdoesnotexist.com" works fine. 2) Bring the Bookmarks Editor into focus and begin dragging a bookmark entry. Wait. 3) When the dialogue notifying the website wasn't found, your mouse will be locked in drag & drop mode. The only way out is by pressing "escape" and closing the dialogue box. In sawfish, this box didn't have focus or context, so it took a bit to figure out escape would do the trick. ------- Bug moved to this database by unknown@bugzilla.gnome.org 2002-07-02 09:30 ------- Unknown version 1.2.x in product galeon.

is this still valid?
Yes, it's caused by 2 objects (in this case dnd and the dialog) trying to capture the input focus.
Galeon has not seen any code changes since May 2010: https://git.gnome.org/browse/archive/galeon/log This project is not under active development anymore and got recently archived in GNOME Git. It is currently unlikely that there will be any further active development. Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping to reflect reality. Please feel free to reopen this bug report in the future if anyone takes the responsibility for active development again.
