1345693 - [Regression] Click the site permissions icon, then click the plugin indicator, doesn't open the plugins notification

Status: NEW

(Firefox :: Site Permissions, defect, P5)

Description

[684sigma]

I have a problem with Firefox Beta 52. It doesn't happen in Firefox ESR 45.
Sometimes clicking on plugin indicator, and permissions like push/geolocation doesn't work.
It happens unpredictably, however, I noticed one specific scenario when it happens

1. Open http://dagobah.net/flashswf/CatGotLost.swf
2. Click on doorhanger in location bar
3. Click on plugin indicator in location bar

Result: Panel with site info closes
Expected: Panel with site info should close and panel with plugin info should open

Same happens with permissions like push/geolocation

Original summary was too general, but new summary is incorrect: it doesn't mention permissions like push/geolocation, also it assumes that the bug only happens after clicking the site permissions icon, but it happens after clicking any of 2 buttons: doorhanger and (i). I'm correcting the summary.

This is likely due to the fact that some doorhangers "capture" clicks made outside them, so they don't have an effect. The changes made to the Identity Block may have affected the way we capture clicks. It's a polishing issue, but minor enough.

I can't reproduce this in Nightly 03-13. Can you please check if this is still broken for you in the latest Nightly?

I still see it with comment 0's STR in 55.0a1 (2017-03-13) (32-bit). I don't understand the current summary and other STR to reproduce the problem.

Click capture is platform-specific, you may be testing on different platforms.

Yes, I see the same bug in Nightly. (On Windows 7)
Also, it doesn't happen with other permissions buttons (my mistake, sorry), so I'm changing the summary back to normal, suggested by YF (Yang).

Minor enough to wontfix for 53 and below :)
