Inconsistent drag-and-drop behavior

[Rick Riensche]

When dragging content into an editor, FCKeditor complains that browser security settings don't allow access to the clipboard. However, dragging into the subsequent "Paste" dialog works beautifully, which begs the question: why couldn't the content be dragged into the original editor window?

Steps to reproduce (I ran this on Windows XP SP2, with IE 6.0 and FireFox 2.0.0.7) 1: Fire up an FCKeditor demo (I used ​http://www.fckeditor.net/nightly/fckeditor/_samples/default.html as of 19 Oct 2007) 2: Drag and drop some formatted text (from another web browser, from Word, whatever..) into the editor. 2a: Observe that "Paste" dialog is opened, with instructions to manually cut and paste. 3: Drag and drop the same formatted text into the textbox of the Paste dialog 3a: Observe that the text and formatting (even the extra tag stuff from Word) are inserted.

Hope this helps! RR

Sorry - list didn't come across well:

1. Fire up an FCKeditor demo (I used ​http://www.fckeditor.net/nightly/fckeditor/_samples/default.html as of 19 Oct 2007)
2. Drag and drop some formatted text (from another web browser, from Word, whatever..) into the editor.
   1. Observe that "Paste" dialog is opened, with instructions to manually cut and paste.
3. Drag and drop the same formatted text into the textbox of the Paste dialog
   1. Observe that the text and formatting (even the extra tag stuff from Word) are inserted.

Hi!

I've followed your instructions and I couldn't reproduce this bug.

When drag and dropping (in 2.5.1 or SVN version) I'm getting the expected behavior. The text is dragged inside the editing area without any problems and without using the paste window.

Let us know if you have similar results.

Thanks.

Looks like whatever was causing this behavior before has changed. Like you, I am now seeing the expected behavior when dragging formatted text in.

Thanks! RR

Thanks for investigating and enjoy working with FCKeditor.
