moveable nodes can be moved out of viewport

[Thomas Pfeiffer]

Currently, dialogs can be dragged out of the viewport and then can neither be moved back anymore nor closed. When it is moved out of the viewport completely, even esc does not work anymore and for some reason F5 doesn't reload the page anymore. Only clicking the reload button works. So the user is almost completely trapped with an unusable page. This happens in Firefox 3 and Chrome. It does not happen in IE6 (haven't tested any other browsers yet).

I don't understand, isn't at least the part that you grabbed to drag it still in the viewport?

Run dijit/tests/test_Dialog.html using Firefox 3/Windows.
Click "Show Dialog".
Click the title of the dialog and drag it to the top of the physical screen (past the browser client top).
Release the mouse button and now you can't see the dialog title bar any more.
IE dragging stops at the top of the browser client area but FF3 keeps going.

Oh I see... OK, this is a problem with the DnD code, same thing happens in dojo/tests/dnd/test_moveable.html on the table with the handle (happens on both FF and safari BTW).

Need to find a good way to lock a dragged item inside a viewport.

I believe this bug is a dupe and fixed : ​http://bugs.dojotoolkit.org/ticket/12238

Definitely appears to be a dupe of #12238 Closing as such based on testing test_Dialog.html in nightly
