dataTransfer.getData() broken in WebKit/Safari

Originator:rekceh
Number:rdar://11748018 Date Originated:26-Jun-2012 01:28 PM
Status:Open Resolved:
Product:Mac OS X Product Version:10.8
Classification:Other Bug Reproducible:Yes
 
Summary:

WebKit's implementation of the JavaScript function "dataTransfer.getData" does not return the paths to the dragged files, as on OS X 10.6 and 10.7. This causes problems for web-authoring apps, which allow users to edit web pages by dragging image files onto a WebView.

This does happen with all kinds of apps, no matter if they have been "sandboxed" or not.

Steps to Reproduce:

Open the attached HTML file in Safari and drag an image file on the green rectangle. In previous version of Mac OS X the file path will appear in this area, once the drag operation finishes.
On 10.8 (12A256) there will be no data of any type in the JavaScript dataTransfer object.

Expected Results:
The file path should appear after a drop.

Actual Results:
No data appears after a drop.

Regression:
n/a

Notes:
n/a
