1179784 - If re-joining the conversation - the chat area will be active but typing area can`t be accessed and invite/share buttons should be over video window still

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Hello (Loop) :: Client, defect, P2)

Description

[Bogdan Maris, Desktop QA]

Attachment: Screenshot showing the issue

Affected builds:
- Latest Aurora 41.0a2
- Latest Nightly 42.0a1

Affected OS`s:
- Windows 7 64-bit
- Windows 10 64-bit
- Mac OS X 10.10
- Ubuntu1 12.04 32-bit

STR:
1. Start Firefox 
2. Start a Hello conversation
3. Join the conversation in a new tab/browser/PC
4. Type some text in chat windows
5. Exit the conversation from new tab/browser/PC

Expected results: Chat area from conversation window disappears.

Actual results: Chat area from conversation window is still there but inactive and overlapped by 'Email link', 'Copy link' and 'Share link' buttons.

If joining the conversation again the chat area will be active but typing area can`t be accessed.
(detaching conversation window -> entering some text -> reattaching conversation window, solves this issue)

Notes:
- This is not a regression, it reproduces since text chat was on by default in Nightly.
- Screenshot showing the issue attached.

so there's definitely a bug to fix if you rejoin and can't access typing.

Sevaan or RT - do you have an opinion on if the chat should stay visible when you're alone in the room - the way it shows in Bogdan's screenshot?

I'm OK to keep this visible so long as it's disabled when you're alone. The way it is currently looks fine.
Agreed we need to fix the bug where when the link clicker rejoins, the link generator cannot access the chat area until a message is received by the clicker or until you pop the CV out and in again.

Also, those invite/share buttons should not be over the chat area. They should remain the way they looked before chat, over the video window.

This issue seems resolved in latest fx-team, but I was able to reproduce in a build from 07/02/15. Here is a screenshot of what the conversation looks like in fx-team after hanging up at the other end: http://cl.ly/image/0A0b2X3T0c2O
The textarea is functional when rejoining.

Don`t know what fixed this but I can no longer reproduce using latest Nightly 42.0a2 across platforms (Windows 7 64-bit, Mac OS X 10.10 and Ubuntu 14.04 32-bit). Marking as worksforme.
