782552 - Nightly not responding properly to left/right trackpad swipes

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: DOM: UI Events & Focus Handling, defect)

Description

[Michael]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.8; rv:17.0) Gecko/17.0 Firefox/17.0
Build ID: 20120813030532

Steps to reproduce:

Swipe left or right on my trackpad to move back or forward through my tab's history.


Actual results:

On some pages, such as craigslist.org searches, swiping fails completely.  I must click on the back button to go back.  On other pages (nytimes.com, macrumors.com, in the same history list), I must swipe *twice* before anything happens.


Expected results:

Swiping should cause the previous or next page to display, depending on swipe direction.  This worked reliably until a build from 3 or 4 days ago.

Hmm, this could be a regression of bug 719320.

Okay, this is my fault.

Attachment: Patch

If there is no scrollable frame for the wheel event, we don't set overflowDelta*. Then, widget understands that the wheel event is consumed. We should always set overflowDelta* when the action is "scroll".

Nope.  That's a new bug -- bug 860779.
