1151828 - unable to see options in a select box with e10s enabled on nightly

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Joel Maher ( :jmaher ) (UTC -8)]

I am running e10s mode on linux64 as my primary browser mode.

many of the things I use on the web depend on drop down select boxes and selecting a value.  Unfortunately this doesn't work for me in e10s mode.

Here is a url I visit:
http://graphs.mozilla.org/graph.html#tests=[[309, 64, 37], [309, 131, 37], [309, 132, 37]]&datatype=geo&sel=1427970245000,142814

I select the drop down for 'last 7 days' and nothing happens.  I hit the up/down arrows and it should at least toggle through the options, but this doesn't work either.

in a non-e10s window it works great.

I think this is a dupe, though not having any luck finding the exact bug.  there are a few related bugs to combo box selection.

I have seen this but have been testing with so many dated builds that I can't recall when I saw it. I can't reproduce with a recent build.

Joel, does this happen for you with the latest Nightly build?

this is with: 20150402143158, the latest nightly build on the ubuntu firefox channel.  I can do a build tonight (takes 40+ minutes for a local build) and test it in the morning.

ok, on a local build from the mozilla-inbound tree yesterday I can see drop down boxes.

Joel, thanks for checking on latest.

this is still failing for me on the ubuntu nightly update channel:
gecko.buildid: 20150408211755

[Tracy Walker [:tracy]]

this is possibly a dupe of bug 1152807 or bug 1058881. which are probably dupes of each other.

Joel, in the system where you see this, what's your setting for browser.tabs.drawInTitlebar ? I'm wondering if this is a dupe of the bugs Tracy mentioned in comment 7

Comment 9

[Joel Maher ( :jmaher ) (UTC -8)]

browser.tabs.drawInTitlebar=false (no user changes)

I see this on bugzilla and graph server, just ask for a review in bugzilla and there is no drop down.  I can hit down enough (I have to know the right about of down arrows to hit), then hit tab and it gives me a box to put in a reviewer.

Comment 10

[George Wright (:gw280) (needinfo me!)]

So this is due to browser.tabs.remote.desktopbehavior being set to false in jmaher's profile. We failed the check here: https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/widget/PuppetWidget.cpp#1047 and continued trying to paint the popup, but can't because there's no manager so we fail.

mconley advises me that to have desktopbehavior set to false in a desktop firefox is wrong, so I'm going to go ahead and close this as invalid.

I'm curious Joel - do you know how you might have gotten that pref flipped?

Comment 12

[Joel Maher ( :jmaher ) (UTC -8)]

I have no clue.  I rarely change prefs in my browser.  It could have been set a long time ago, or via an addon or other random things.
