chromedragandgo - issue #5
Dragging single-word selections searches for "file://localhost/<selection>" on Chrome OSX (Chromium, actually)
What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Highlight a single word of text 2. Drag the selected word and release
What is the expected output? What do you see instead? Expected output: New tab, with the selected word as a search query in Google. Actual output: New tab, with "file://localhost/<selected word>" as a search query in Google.
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? Drag and Go - Version: 1.3 Mac OSX 10.6 (Snow Leopard) Chromium 4.0.274.0 (34828)
Please provide any additional information below. Only vaguely related, but I didn't think it was worth its own "issue": Is there a technical reason that when dragging text, you have to highlight, click & hold for a moment (less than half a second, but still a noticeable amount) before dragging? If you just highlight, then click/drag with no delay, it thinks you're trying to adjust your selection. Kind of annoying, IMO, but it may just be a limitation of the extension API. shrug

Posted on Feb 10, 2010 by Happy WombatRight. I'm not trying to drag anything on the local filesystem. I've highlighted a single word (non-link. Just text). When I drag it to search google for that word, instead of searching with it, it tries sending me to "file://localhost/"
So, I highlight a word (not a link) like this: http://ownedgear.com/shared/Screen%20shot%202010-02-10%20at%209.41.56%20AM.png
Then drag it, and get this: http://ownedgear.com/shared/Screen%20shot%202010-02-10%20at%209.46.10%20AM.png
