1206614 - Invalid context url should provide immediate feedback to user instead of silently disappearing

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Hello (Loop) :: Client, defect, P3)

Description

[Ed Lee :Mardak]

From bug 1184940 review: you can edit the context with an invalid url and hit "Done" not realizing it's not a valid url, so the room's context doesn't actually update. The input box keeps the invalid url though.

The suggestion from bug 1184940 comment 14 is turning the box red.

Here's the UX proposal for this. I'd suggest that, ideally, once the user inputs the URL the same field detects wether this is a valid URL or not so we save user's frustration once he clicks on the "Done" button. If it's not possible, I'd go for displaying this proposed screen once user clicks on the "Done" button.

Matej, if a user enters in an invalid URL, we want to display a string. Can you help here?

This could probably be re-prioritized as context/editing context will be going away in Fx44.

Does that mean there's nothing to do here?

Nothing to see here, folks!

Since you can't edit the context this bug no longer applies to the product
