1097600 - UITour: loading an iframe in web content hides UITour highlights & info panels

Status: NEW

(Firefox :: Tours, defect)

Description

[Alex Gibson [:agibson]]

Whilst building the 33.1 whatsnew post-tour landing page, we discovered the following issue. Not sure if this is somehow intended behavior or just a bug, but filing it here anyway:

STR:

1.) Show a UITour highlight and/or info panel in the browser chrome.
2.) Load an iframe src in the web page

Expected results:

The UITour highlight / info panel should remain visible.

Actual results:

When the iframe src loads, UITour highlights / info panels disappear.

To work around this bug, we had to delay loading the iframe until the user finishes the tour.

If I run the following in a scratchpad while on https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/36.0a1/tour/ the info panel stays open:

var iframe = document.createElement("iframe");
iframe.src = "https://people.mozilla.com/"
document.body.appendChild(iframe);

Could you give example code that causes the problem?

Can you file future UITour bugs blocking fx-UITour to ease tracking?

Using the above code pasted into the console, the doorhanger disappears for me on 35.0a2 and 33.1. Does not seem to happen on Nightly though?

In both e10s and non-e10s mode? :-)
