1116888 - [Overscroll] Overscroll causes graphical problems with large text strings wider than their text field.

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: Gaia::System::Window Mgmt, defect)

Description

[Martin Shuman [:Marty]]

Attachment: logcat-Contacts-Overscroll.txt

Description:
If the user inputs a long text string that is wider than the text field that contains it, overscrolling will not behave correctly with that text string.

If the user is scrolling up (physically swiping their finger down), the text field will remain stationary and overlap other UI elements as they continue to overscroll and stretch below the string.

If the user is scrolling down (physically swiping their finger up), the text will scroll up at a different rate than the other UI elements, will not stretch, and will be cut-off by white space above the string as it moves up.

Note: This issue specifically affects recently edited text strings.  For example, If the user opens an existing Contact to Edit, any existing long text strings will not demonstrate this behavior until they have been selected and modified.

This issue has been found in text fields found in the following locations:
-Contacts > Create/Edit Contact screen
-Email > Manual Account Settings
-Calendar > Create/Edit Event

Repro Steps:
1) Update a Flame device to BuildID: 20141231010205
2) Open the Contacts app and tap the '+' icon to create a new icon.
3) Clear out the Birthday, Address, and Comment fields by tapping the respective 'X' icons.
4) Enter a long string into the Email field that is wider than the text field itself.
5) Dismiss the keyboard, and overscroll both up and down.
  
Actual:
The Email Address string will show graphical problems when overscrolling.
  
Expected: 
The Email Address will show the proper overscroll effect with the other UI elements.

Low visibility, not going to nominate blocking release, also not a regression.
