[Deskbar] crash if you drop some selected text on it

[diver]

Steps to reproduce: Open AboutHaiku and click hall of fame BTextView, press alt+a to select text. Now grag it with right mouse button above deskbar and drop it on any folder (Application/Preferences) Deskbar will crash.

Tested with rev17117 under vmware.

Seems to be a BMessage problem. Will look into it.

Works here, probably fixed in the meantime

[diver]

It's still here in hrev17653, reopening. Michael, could you have a look?

new back trace

Yet another back trace

Still here in hrev22867.

Can't reproduce in vmware hrev22979. @diver: maybe you could retry with updated image.

Can't reproduce the crash with hrev23705 / vmware.

However drag'n'droping things seems to trigger #582 under certain circumstances.

Diver, can you confirm? Otherwise i'll close this one and post an update in #582

[diver]

Yes, i can confirm it, I just dropped text on Application folder in Leaf Menu and it crashed with bt like in Deskbar_crash.png. So the bug (which according to different back traces could be even more) is still there.

[aldeck]

Ok, sorry, i misunderstood your initial steps. I was dropping on the leaf menu :-/ I can reproduce, and got one of the two same backtraces, but only if i pass over an item in the team menu (ex: tracker). Same conditions as in my comment in #582.

I tested drag'n'dropping a text file, and if i roll over the tracker item before going deeper into the leaf menu, i still get the crash, but the file gets opened in styledit, as if i had dropped it on the tracker item. It seems like a message (release/drop) goes to the wrong person :)

[aldeck]

Oh, and i must add, the original bug doesn't appear when Deskbar is in horizontal mode.

In horizontal mode, we can see that the menuitems react differently to hovering:

Move over the Tracker menuitem while grabbing a text file. Leave the item by the top (so it remains selected), and then drop the file on the desktop. -> The the file gets opened in StyledEdit.

I hope i'm clear :)

i can't reproduce here, hrev25184

[aldeck]

Replying to kaoutsis:

i can't reproduce here, hrev25184

Still 100% reproducible here on hrev25761. The ticket title is a bit misleading: you must drop it on a submenu of the leaf menu, not the leaf menu itself. And also, it only happens if you pass over an item in the deskbar's app/team menu. The hovered item stays selected even if your mouse has moved from it, and it seems that it gets the drop message too.

This was also fixed in hrev28063 by Oliver and Stephan.
