1003201 - [FxAccounts] cursor is not placeable by touch when entering email account

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: FxA, defect)

Description

[No-Jun Park [:njpark]]

STR:

- Go to Settings -> Firefox accounts, and click sign in or create new account button.
- type in email address.
- touch the middle of the typed text to place the cursor.

Expected:
- Cursor gets placed in the middle of the text.

Actual:
- Cursor does not move.  

workaround:
Have delete the text up to the point where the typo is, then retype.  In other apps, like the Firefox browser URL field, cursor does get placed.

I believe we decided this was a platform issue. If it is, can you resolve it Invalid or similar? If it's not, could you assign it to :6a68 ? Thanks!

I think we need to look at this a bit because this does not happen with other apps.  I have found Bug 1001325 and Bug 868849, but haven't found the platform bug for this yet.  Jared, could you take a look at it please?

Good eye, No-Jun!

The problem is indeed the same one from bug 868849. The FxA system app has a CSS file which contains:

    html, body * {
      -moz-user-select: none;
    }

I dunno what the motivation was for this, perhaps to make text in the panels unselectable.

Anyhow, I've got a patch together that sets -moz-user-select: text for inputs, which fixes this bug :-)

Hey Fernando,

If you have a little time, here's a one-liner CSS review :-)

Cheers,

Jared
