1230153 - "see all X images" links on amazon product pages fail to display an image browser

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Core :: General, defect)

Description

[Nathan Froyd [:froydnj]]

[Tracking Requested - why for this release]: Usability regression on a major website.

STR:

1. Go to any Amazon product page (I used http://www.amazon.com/Moleskine-Classic-Notebook-Squared-Notebooks/dp/888370102X/ )
2. Click the "See all X images" link beneath the main picture on the left side.

Expected results:

An image browser is shown, letting you click through the images, magnify them, etc.

Actual results:

The cursor is changed to a magnifying glass if you position your cursor over where the image browser ought to be, and you can even right-click and select "view this image" to display the (large) image from the image browser, but you can't actually *see* the image browser layer.  It looks at though your click has had zero effect apart from changing the cursor.

I don't see the same effect on Windows, so perhaps this is a Linux-only regression.  Lee, are you willing to take a look at this?  Maybe it has the same root cause as some of the other GTK graphical glitches recently.

I tried following the STR but I can't reproduce the observed symptoms at all.

I cannot reproduce myself either on Linux. Not tracking as it might have been fixed in another bug.

Given that we can't reproduce, let's just close this and re-open if we see it again.
