Hello,

I have been having issues in FFx 3.0.11 getting the gears desktop api
working right. When I drag items, either in bulk or a single item, it
seems to get the files from the drag event properly. However,
subsequent drags result in the files from the initial drag getting
loaded again, not the new files. This gets weirder, to the point
where if the initial drag was 3 files, and the subsequent drag was 1
file, it is still the 3 initial files getting loaded again.

The same code in IE 7 works great.

As far as FFx 3.5, which Gears was just released for, it does not
appear to work at all. I get an error on the drag event as an invalid
event type.

Anyone else see this?

Thanks
Brendan

Yeah. I have exactly the same problem. And I thought that I'm doing
something wrong :D

I have a similar problem with the same page:
- online ok
- local broken
semmes to be a javascript-utf-8 encoding problem ?

Best regards
