> As indicated, dragging an image does not cause image to be selected in other browsers. Even if we make WebKit behave the same way, we will still have a problem when user selects the image manually and tries to drag it.

It's worth noting that IE and Firefox both have this problem.

> Code before changeset 86472 follows a different logic for selection drag and different logic for image drag.

That logic was arguably wrong.

> The fix checks if the selection has only an image and follows code path of image drag logic there after instead of selection logic.

I'm not certain this is the appropriate fix though. If the user accidentally selects any whitespace around the image, then they get a different behavior (drag to desktop won't work). And if we strip whitespace, we might be breaking behavior that is actually desired such as dragging for rich editing.
