New issue 18888 by jrezin: Drag instead of selecting (skips mouse button
release before movement)
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=18888
Chrome Version : 3.0.197.11
Other browsers tested:
Add OK or FAIL after other browsers where you have tested this issue:
Safari 4: OK
Firefox 3.x: OK
IE 7: OK
IE 8: OK
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. (specially) when lots of tabs are loaded/processor is in full use.
2. click and release the mouse button to select a different tab and move
the mouse to any direction after that.
What is the expected result?
The tab should be selected, just it.
What happens instead?
Chrome selects the tab, but instead of getting the mouse button release
before the mouse movement, it "drags" the tab, resulting in a very annoying
behavior that re-orders the tab or creates a new windows when the user is
just selecting a tab.
The bug is present since the first Chrome public release.
It probably happens because of the way Chrome handle clicks in the tab bar
and doesn't really register the mouse button release before the mouse
movement when it's busy rendering the new selected page. Should not be
something hard to fix. (probably easier to spot this bug with several tabs
and old PCs or laptops, but still happening in more powerful ones when
rendering, several tabs open or even when selecting tab that is allocated
in virtual memory.)
