1198020 - Auto-expand markers that are outside the current selection range

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(DevTools :: Performance Tools (Profiler/Timeline), defect, P3)

Description

[Jordan Santell [:jsantell] [@jsantell]]

Observed when snapping to GC markers, for example in a JS marker, when going back to the waterfall view, you'll see one giant strip of a marker, with no arrow indicating it can be expanded.

We should have this auto expanded.

Maybe only if the start time is outside range -- not sure if both need to be out of range for this to happen.

VP, thoughts?

ni? for thoughts on the above ^

Bonus points if you think this is a good idea (especially with allocation snapping) and you want to do it

Makes super sense.

An alternative would be to make the expando always visible, maybe with a semi-transparent white/dark background depending on the theme.

Triaging. Filter on ADRENOCORTICOTROPIC (yes).

Now that we replaced the old performance panel by the Firefox Profiler (see Bug 1668219) we're closing bugs related to this.
