1064401 - Disable overscrolling completely for 2.0

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Panning and Zooming, defect)

Description

[Botond Ballo [:botond]]

Bug 1055361 disabled the original overscroll effect (zooming out) during panning for 2.0, leaving it in place during a fling.

Bug 1057578 introduced a new effect (stretching) for 2.1 for both panning and flinging.

To maintain a consistent user experience across releases, for 2.0 we would like to disable the zoom effect during flinging as well.

This would be b2g32 only change - we do not want it in a later repo...

Yeah, according to https://wiki.mozilla.org/Release_Management/B2G_Landing#Landing_Procedure_3 you need to request approval for b2g32 and then land on that branch directly.

I just realized, overscrolling has an entry in the developer options, so the pref needs to be changed in additional places.

This also raises the question of whether we want to, perhaps, remove the developer option from 2.0 altogether.

I'd leave it, we have a lot of developer options that are not for general consumption...

You'll need to make a PR against gaia 2.0 to get this landed.

See above. The two patches go together.

We should probably block to make sure we don't add something to the product then change it and also just to be 100% safe on the legal side.

Adding verifyme for QA to ensure overscrolling in 2.0 is disabled after this lands.
