[ClearClick] NoScript interfering with Google StreetView

[Aimhere]

Hi,

I'm having a problem with NoScript and Google Maps' StreetView function.

What happens is this: I'll be looking at a map (any map) and drag the StreetView icon onto the map (or, if an info box happens to have a "StreetView" link, I'll click on that), and StreetView opens in the map window. But when I try to click anywhere in it (on the ground, on the compass rose, view controls, etc.), nothing happens.

Running tests by disabling plugins, I quickly determined it was NoScript preventing the StreetView functions from working. So, following hints in other threads here, I opened the firefox Error Console, then reloaded the map page and tried clicking in it again. The console then showed messages along the lines of:

Code: Select all

[NoScript ClearClick] Swallowed event mousedown on OBJECT/0 at http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&tab=ll
[NoScript ClearClick] Swallowed event mouseup on OBJECT/0 at http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&tab=ll
[NoScript ClearClick] Swallowed event click on OBJECT/0 at http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&tab=ll

Eureka moment! So, I went into NoScript's options, found "Embeddings/Clearclick Protection on pages/trusted", and unchecked that. Then refreshed the Google Maps page and tried StreetView again. And now it works!

My question now is, how do I re-enable the ClearClick protection for trusted sites, without breaking Google StreetView again? I have google.com and gmodules.com whitelisted, along with googlecode.com, googleapis.com, etc. Most NoScript options are still at their defaults.

Running NoScript 2.3.3rc3 with Firefox 10.0.2 on Windows 7 x64.

Street view & Compass & dragging ... all look to be working.
