1401181 - Pointer Lock Notification showing after close tab (Ctrl+W) and hover this notification before disappears.

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Firefox :: General, defect, P3)

Description

[Łukasz]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:55.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/55.0
Build ID: 20170809145938

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open https://mdn.github.io/dom-examples/pointer-lock/ in new tab.
2. Click mouse on black field.
3. Quick use Ctrl+W key shortcut to close this tab.
4. Quick mouse hover on Pointer Lock Notification (this one with info about control of cursor) BEFORE this notification flees and disappears from the screen.
Speed is important because notification will quickly disappear when you press Ctrl + W.
This is not a one-off case. I tried to do it and went out repeatedly, practically reliably.


Actual results:

From that moment, notification about Pointer Lock showing when hover mouse on top screen edge. Like in FullScreen mode.


Expected results:

This notification should not let you "catch" the mouse. This notification should not appear when the card is closed.

For example, when I press Ctrl+F, Pointer Lock off normally even when the notification is still visible, it suddenly disappears.
You will never be able to get a notification.

The code is in browser/base/content/browser-fullScreenAndPointerLock.js so this belongs in Firefox::General

The key to copy links is broken. It was broken in 88 and remains unfixed.

Copying links is a core function of a web browser. It is completely unreasonable that this function should be removed. Tens, maybe hundreds of millions of people use hotkeys. It is an absolutely normal, absolutely acceptable way to interface with a computer. All of those people have had to find solutions outside of Firefox, and for absolutely no reason.

A "replacement" key that is not physically usable is obviously not a replacement.

Since my legitimate reports about this critical bug are being removed, I'm leaving comments on other people's bugs.

This bug no longer occurs in stable Firefox 126.0.1 (64 bit) on Arch Linux with Cinnamon. Nighly doesn't have this bug either.
The notification disappears immediately when you press Ctrl+W, so there is no way to hover over it, so the bug will never be triggered.
I think this can be closed.
I don't know when it was fixed or how, but the bug no longer exists.
