1089102 - Firefox Hello has poor RTL UI

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Hello (Loop) :: Client, defect, P5)

Description

[Tomer Cohen :tomer]

Attachment: Screenshot (two frames animation)

Although Firefox Hello main screen looks well on RTL builds of Aurora, clicking on few buttons revel some missing functionality. 

A. Preferences button doesn't show preferences menu.
B. URL/email fields doesn't align to the left (dir=ltr).
C. Some screens such as the call quality doesn't have dir=rtl although they contain RTL content.

I think we may want to consider this blocking Loop 34.

Comment 2

[Maire Reavy [:mreavy]]

Hi Tomer -- How is the functionality in RTL builds?  Are you able to make calls?

Comment 3

[:shell escalante]

need to discuss with UX priority on all bugs tagged [RTL] for prioritization

Comment 4

[:shell escalante]

can pull in depending on when full RTL review is done.

Comment 5

[:shell escalante]

pending RTL full review and prioritization of bugs - moving to 39 at least

Comment 6

[:shell escalante]

shell: group with other RTL bugs and the review...

Removing old NI. I'm guessing in-call isn't too bad as we haven't had any other report. Bug 1091800 will hopefully do a complete review soon.

Comment 8

The Gear Button (Settings) dialog is covered.

Attachment: Make the Loop settings menu be displayed properly in the panel for rtl locales.

This fixes the dropdown menu. The other items originally mentioned aren't an issue now.

There's still some imperfections in the panel etc, but I think it makes it good enough now that we can leave them to other bugs/review bug 1091800.

Approval Request Comment
[Feature/regressing bug #]: Firefox Hello
[User impact if declined]: RTL locales can't access the settings menu - it is shown off window.
[Describe test coverage new/current, TreeHerder]: Landed in m-c, css changes only
[Risks and why]: Minor only small changes
[String/UUID change made/needed]: None

Although this affects beta, not requesting uplift to there as this would need more work to extract parts of various previous patches to get everything working right. Moving this forward to aurora seems like a reasonable balance.

We did some exploratory testing using Firefox 40 beta 7 (ar) build with calls between Windows 7 64-bit, Mac OS X 10.10.4, Windows 10 32-bit and Ubuntu 14.04 32-bit, and can confirm that the UI looks good on all platforms. We did encountered a crash on FF40 though, but it`s not related to RTL builds, bug 1187308.

Verification on Beta 40 should suffice.
