I do not know if this occurs on the Flame 2.5

I am blocked by bug 1162535. Only one app stays open at a time.

[Peter Bylenga [:PBylenga]]

Adding qawanted to see if we can reproduce on flame, perhaps upping memory will avoid bug 1162535 and allow us to reproduce this issue.

Comment 4

[Pi Wei Cheng [:piwei] (inactive)]

The issue occurs on Flame with 1024MB memory. Flame 2.5 and 2.2 are affected. 2.5 exhibits the issue the same as on Aries, but 2.2 is slightly different. On 2.2 it doesn't show the issue where two windows sliding in to view from different directions, but it will show the homescreen wallpaper when transitioning.

[Blocking Requested - why for this release]:

Nominating this 2.5 because this looks really bad on Aries. Let's find the regression window.

Comment 6

[Pi Wei Cheng [:piwei] (inactive)]

Working build behavior: v2.1 behavior described in comment 4.
Broken build behavior: v2.2 behavior described in comment 4. It is less severe comparing to current behavior in master.

Possibly caused by changes made in Bug 1141500.

Comment 7

[Jayme Mercado [:JMercado] (Inactive 3/4/2016)]

Chirs this seems to have been caused by the changes for Bug 1141500.  Can you take a look please?

Comment 8

[Chris Lord [:cwiiis]]

I don't really have the time to look into this right now and the fact that it's intermittent suggests to me that it's a platform issue.

Moving my needinfo to mhenretty, as last I heard the utility tray was being modified to use native scrolling anyway, which would nullify most of the code added in bug 1141500.

That's bug 1178162, but it's not a 2.5 blocker like this one. Someone will have to look into this eventually, whether through landing native scrolling, or fixing the platform issue exposed here.

Comment 10

[Etienne Segonzac (:etienne)]

Can't find it, but I remember fixing a *really* similar bug.
Not the same STR but the transition was **** out in the exact same way.

Can we see if this is still reproducible on master?

Comment 11

[Duane Dixon [:ddixon]]

This issue DOES occur in the latest Aries master build.  A poor transition is clearly visible when the user goes from the utility tray to the Settings app. I did not test the issue on a Flame device because of Comment 1 (bug 1162535). 

NOTE: I used the STR in Comment 0, however, I transitioned from the Music app to the Settings app (instead of Phone app).

Etienne see comment 11 please.  This issue still reproduces.

Comment 13

[Etienne Segonzac (:etienne)]

I took another shot at this one but I really can't find anything wrong on the gaia side.

It's pretty easy to reproduce though, so I'd love for somebody from platform to look at it.
On that note, toggling [1] might help (and it's definitely not hiding the issue :))

Comment 14

[Etienne Segonzac (:etienne)]

Moving to GFX so it gets triaged there, feel free to send it back if there's anything we can do on the gaia side!

Hi Vincent, can you please check if you can help.

What code base of aries you used to look into this issue? KK or L?

Comment 17

[Ken Chang[:kenkai]]

It's KK.

Comment 18

[Vincent Liu[:vliu]]

I tried to sync with today's aries-kk build, and the git info for Gaia/Gecko are as follows

Gaia:  commit f75bd584aca0a751a5bed115800250faa8412927  (Good case)
       Date:   Mon Oct 19 12:09:58 2015 +0530
Gecko: commit d10e5964b98cc7d4b7a6a827f3fcddc0f0e97e84
       Date:   Sun Oct 18 11:19:30 2015 -0700

With this code base, I can't reproduce this issue. But if I rollback gaia commit to just Comment 11 said, I can see this issue easily.

Gaia: d7fb5717d3e0153ac64af2c0d5c11079846d81c3  (Bad case)

From behavior, it seems that transition from from Music to Settings is not running smoothly. Also, it seems that some further bug after August 24 fixing this issue. It would be better git bisecting gaia between good and bad case to narrow down the issue.

Comment 19

[Marcus Cavanaugh [:mcav]]

I'm not able to reproduce this on master either. While the platform side should be looked at, we shouldn't block on this if it's no longer reproducible, right?

Comment 20

[Michael Henretty [:mikehenrty][:mhenretty]]

qawanted to get another retest on the latest master.

Comment 21

[Pi Wei Cheng [:piwei] (inactive)]

Confirmed that this issue is no longer occurring on central. But it is still occurring on 2.2 as described at comment 4 where during transitioning homescreen wallpaper will show.

Comment 22

[Jayme Mercado [:JMercado] (Inactive 3/4/2016)]

Michael this issue no longer occurs on 2.5 so do we still need the blocking tag?  Are there any plans to do more fixes for 2.2? cause we might be able to just close this completely if not.

Comment 23

[Ken Chang[:kenkai]]

Thanks.
Nominate this bug as 2.2?. Let's see if partner wants it to be fixed in 2.2.

Comment 24

[Michael Henretty [:mikehenrty][:mhenretty]]

Thanks Jayme and Ken.
