Hi.

I'm not sure if this is the same bug as #175748; it sounds like some of
the things people have described there, but not others.

Regularly, when driving mozilla with a mouse, something I do will accidentally
cause mozilla to try and drag-and-drop something (marked text or a scrollbar,
it's a little hard to tell).

When this happens, the cursor occasionally gets stuck in drag-and-drop mode,
looking something like an rotated L (with no + or paper icon),
and locks up X.  I can only recover by switching to the console and killing
mozilla.

I get a crash like this once every few days of regular use, but I've found
a way to reproduce it in a few minutes (not sure how definitive it is):

Mark some text, say at the end of a link and covering some of the plain text after the </a>; the end of a reported by: email adress in BTS works.  Then, with the text highlighted, repeatedly try and drag the text elsewhere on the page.  

I can't find anything in upstream's bugzilla about this.
