URL Drag-and-Drop not working with Firefox but with Chrome

Hi,

I’m trying to write a small utility where I can drop links from Firefox for further processing.

I found this example code (Custom DnD with PyDropTarget). When running the program it only displays a warning about the "Py"DropTarget but runs fine otherwise.

However, I can’t drop any links from Firefox into the “drop URL here” frame, nor can I drag URLs from that demo app to Firefox.
Also the cursor icon doesn’t change to indicate a compatible destination if I hover over that frame.
Only the text entry field is willing to accept the content.

Surprisingly it works as intended when I use Chrome.

Is this a bug, or is there a work-around?

Setup:

  • Ubuntu Linux 14.04 LTS, 64 bit
  • Python3
  • Phoenix + wxWidget built from today’s GitHub source.

Thanks

Mike
