File Drag and Drop not working with new Firefox 3.5 Support

[adam]

I'm having trouble with Gears file drag and drop in Firefox 3.5. I'm
registering an event listener for the 'drop' event like so:


function handleFileDrop(evt) {

if (evt.preventDefault) {
evt.preventDefault();
}

var desktop = google.gears.factory.create("beta.desktop");
var data = desktop.getDragData(evt, 'application/x-gears-files');
var files = data && data.files;
if (files) {
// process files here
}

return false;
}

dropTarget.addEventListener('drop', handleFileDrop, false);


The event is fired and captured properly but the call to
desktop.getDragData() returns "The drag-and-drop event is invalid."

I've tested this on CentOS 5.3 and Windows XP with the same results.

Any ideas what might be going wrong?

Note: this code works with gears on Firefox 3.0.x when listening for
the 'dragdrop' event. Also the script tag including gears_init.js is
in the body tag not the head.

Same problem here, reported http://groups.google.com/group/gears-users/browse_thread/thread/50ea8ceea7c2101e?hl=en

Can these be merged?

I can also report that it still works fine in IE 7.
