IE - Drag and Drop not working

[lucian.teodorescu]

Hello,

I have an issue when drag and drop file in Internet Explorer and I think it's a bug related to 'OpenBrowser" action.
If I open the browser manually (disable the action in module) and then perform drag & drop, everything works just fine.

OS: Win 7 Pro 64-bit + SP1
IE 11.0.27

The bug occurs on both Ranorex 5.4.4 and 5.4.5

I've attached a sample project, opening http://html5demos.com/dnd-upload and trying to upload "C:\Users\Public\Pictures\Sample Pictures\Desert.jpg".

Then the file cannot be manually dropped inside IE until the browser is restarted.

Hi Lucian,

Doing D&D between apps is always tricky. It's a good idea to use EnsureVisible action on destination element before clicking the mouse and dragging the element outside the source element. Please follow this post (and entire discussion)...

Hope this helps?

Hi Pavel,

Thanks for your input.
However, the issue is not related to visibility. In fact the issue occurs even when the test runs on multiple monitors and the source and destination are visible simultaneously.

The issue that I am thinking of is some sort of combination of 'Open Browser' action and the Ranorex IE plugin.
This works fine on Chrome, but not on IE 11.

Note that even if I manually try to drop the image on a IE window opened automatically, it won't work.
But when I open the window manually, the automated drag&drop works just fine.

I tried on different machines, same thing happens. If you have a few minutes, just give it a try with the attached project and see if it works on your configuration.

Thank you,

Well, this is definitely weird. My guess is it's some kind of security issue? OpenBrowser action probably opens IE with different security context than windows explorer started via RunApplication? I would definitely ask Ranorex support at [email protected]. Hope they can help with this?

BTW, I found this, maybe it's somehow related, but I'm not going to uninstall this update ...

Hi guys,

Yes, it's definitely a security issue. Please just try to execute the test without administrator rights, e.g., starting the Studio in normal mode and running the test without the debugger.

Hope this helps.

Sincerely,
Robert
