While working on the
Fernsehen-Widget, I discovered a bug present in all Builds of Safari 3.0 and therefore in the WebKit of Leopard (currently at 10.5.1 9B18).
The problem is that while you hover a document with the left mouse button pressed, whenever you cross a scrollbar, the mousemove-event gets dropped. That became a problem for me because I implemented some drag & drop capabilities into the Fernsehen-Widget, which now fails as soon as you drag an item over a scrollbar.
Today, I
wrote a test case documenting the situation in order to file a bug over at
www.webkit.org - only to find that Dav Glass
already filed this bug 9 days ago as Bug 16072.
Together with
Bug 14736, this is an annoying situation for me as a widget developer. I hope both bugs get fixed soon and make it into OS X 10.5.2...
Update Dec 4, 2007
Great, the mousemove over scrollbar-bug has been fixed in the latest nightly version of WebKit.
Ray: Having the same problem. Very frustrating. Luckily, for some reason my released version worked on the iPad itself, but now I can't get it to run in the simulator. Getting no such table, which I'm guessing is an initialization error. Will continue to investigate.
