1376008 - Tab saved in... overlay prevents interaction vertically further down than itself

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: Overlays, defect, P3)

Description

[moz-nuc]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Fedora; Linux x86_64; rv:54.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/54.0
Build ID: 20170613080647

Steps to reproduce:

When in vertical orientation, I open links from an application that has a row of buttons along the bottom edge of the application area, so that when a link is opened with Firefox, the "Tab saved in... | OPEN NOW" overlay appears further up (Y-axis, not Z-axis) on the screen than those buttons:

[Tab saved in... | OPEN NOW]                           <--- Firefox/Fennec overlay
[btn1] [btn2] [btn3] [btn4] [btn5] [btn6]           <--- Other application buttons
[ <| ]    [ O ]    [ [] ]                                            <--- On-screen system buttons

(In landscape the application buttons are drawn along the top so I can't test with that orientation)


Actual results:

The other application's buttons are unusable while the overlay is visible, despite not being covered at all by the overlay.


Expected results:

The overlay should only prevent interaction with the other application in the region it actually overlays.

A slightly more representative sketch (the original bug report textbox isn't monospaced :))

| [Tab saved in...              | OPEN NOW] |           <--- Firefox/Fennec overlay
|                                           |
| [btn1] [btn2] [btn3] [btn4] [btn5] [btn6] |           <--- Other application buttons
|         <|          O          []         |           <--- On-screen system buttons
