1176889 - [spark] Overscroll effect missing in Settings submenus

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: Gaia::Settings, defect)

Description

[Dan Callahan [:callahad]]

Most (but not all) of the submenus in Settings do not have an overscroll effect.

E.g., scrolling inside "Wifi" or "Internet Sharing" has the bouncy overscroll effect, but "Call Settings," "Display," "Keyboards," and others do not.

The submenus you mentioned aren't overflowing the screen, so this looks like just the intended behavior. All overflowing menus I checked are perfectly bouncy.

Dan, could you take a look at comment 1 please and see what you think?

Comment 3

[Dan Callahan [:callahad]]

Resolved Invalid might be more appropriate, since this is consistent (no content to scroll -> no overscroll effect).

But this does make me sad, since it's something I frequently fidget with on other OS's, and it feels inconsistent that sometimes attempting to scroll beyond the edge of a pane stretches content, and sometimes it doesn't.

In the worst case, I'll just fidget with the homescreen instead. :)

We could force the min height of the panels to be 101% so overscolling will always shown. Or some invent custom CSS property to do it...

Anyway, UX should tell us whether if they agree with the reporter and whether we want this or not.

From UX triage:

As in comment 1 and 3, the overscroll effect is for screens that overflow the main content area. If the content doesn't overflow then we should not be showing the overscroll effect.

Thanks for pinging the UX team!
