1332150 - Touch simulation not working in Responsive Design mode on Linux

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(DevTools :: Responsive Design Mode, defect)

Description

[hugo]

Attachment: Screenshot from 2017-01-19 10:58:01.png

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:50.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/50.0
Build ID: 20161119214345

Steps to reproduce:

When enabling "Simulate touch events" in Responsive Design mode, nothing happens. Also after reloading.


Actual results:

The Simulate touch events button gets highlighted, but the mouse pointer doesn't change and touch behavior is not available. Text selection is being disabled though.


Expected results:

Drag scrolling and a circular mouse pointer.

I'm also using Firefox Developer Edition (firefox-52.0a2.en-US.linux-x86_64) side-by-side with the default Firefox distribution for Linux Mint. The Developer edition is up-to-date, but has the same problem.

I attached a screenshot of the config settings involving Touch from my regular FF install.

Can you provide a specific page you were testing with?

Touch simulation is a bit different in the new RDM (enabled in 52), so I think it's best to focus on that.

Please note that touch simulation currently only fires various "touch" events when mouse actions happen.  It does not currently change the cursor (bug 1271728) or support drag scrolling (bug 1282089).

Is the existing functionality actually broken, or are you looking for those extra features?

No reply from the reporter.  Please reopen if you're able to be more specific about what's happening.
