This is a minor flickering issue.

Not sure here the problem is on Loop App. I guess is a contact app problem

Comment 4

[Maria Angeles Oteo (:oteo)]

Moving to Contacts component

I have some trouble to see the flicker. Where should I look at, on the video?

Comment 6

[[:RJ]]

sorry about that, we were having some glare issues that day. Here is a new video with a better view of the flicker https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lb9vkwI8gsg.

I can reproduce this kind of flicker on the Marketplace app with the search field: a white rectangle remains while the keyboard goes down.
Moving this issue to gecko.

Johan, can you provide a video of what you're seeing? The flicker in the video in comment 6 sounds different from a "white rectangle"

Comment 9

[Johan Lorenzo [:jlorenzo]]

In the video in comment 6, I see a "black rectangle" when the keyboard goes down. Here's what I see on Marketplace: https://docs.google.com/a/mozilla.com/file/d/0B7Y2LpZbqKlublJHUlFKYWV2WW8. It might be a simple performance issue.

As far as I can tell it's just a perf issue. When the keyboard disappears the window gets resized and stuff needs to get repainted, so it takes time. In theory bug 970093 is supposed to help with this.

However I'm surprised that this is a regression in 2.1 because as I understand it, the bug should manifest in previous versions as well. If this is new to 2.1 and important to fix then we should get a regression window to see what broke it.

I am able to repro the bug in 2.0, although the appearance is a little different.  The area that the keyboard vacates shows white instead of black as the keyboard closes, so the user must have enough contacts to completely fill the page.

Ok, in that case this is just a perf bug.
