1240176 - Timeline selection does not work after switching Toolbox mode (nomal/WindowHost)

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(DevTools :: Performance Tools (Profiler/Timeline), defect, P2)

Description

[arni2033]

>>>   My Info:   Win7_64, Nightly 46, 32bit, ID 20160114060719
STR:
1. Open this simple testcase:   data:text/html,<script>onmouseup=onclick=function(){}</script>
2. Open devtools -> Performance, click "Start Recording Performance"
3. Click on the page content (white area)
4. Click "Stop Recording Performance"
5. Detach devtools toolbox into separate window
6. Try to select a portion of timeline:
   hover mouse over timeline, hold left mouse button, move mouse pointer, release left mouse button

Result:       
 Nothing. Step 6 completely fails

Expectations:
 Step 6 should work nice, just like when devtools toolbox is docked to the bottom side of window

Selection fails in any scenario in the Toolbox's WindowMode it seems.

Ugh, this is bad.

I accidentally determined that it doesn't work if I _switch_ Toolbox mode (normal/separate window),
and if I initially open devtools in separate window, everything works in WindowHost mode.
STR in comment 0 only show 1 side of the problem.

This report is related to the old DevTools Profiler.
The Performance panel now points to the new Firefox profiler available at profiler.firefox.com
