1540311 - Screenshot feature not working with touch screen

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox :: Screenshots, defect, P3)

Description

[Maciej Jaros]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:66.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/66.0

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open any page.
2. Choose screenshot from the page menu (in the address bar).
3. Drag finger across the screen.

Actual results:

Nothing happens. There seem to be no reaction from the screenshot overlay.

Expected results:

When I touch and drag my finger diagonally I would expect similar behaviour as click+drag. So I would expect to draw/select a rectangle.

Note I'm using Windows 10 with a touchscreen (convertible laptop).

Confirmed on Microsoft Surface Pro and Lenovo Yoga C630. Component set.
Thank you for your contribution!

I have to mention that the screen can be tap-ed to select certain areas, but the feature is lacking touchscreen interaction.

The extension implementation of Screenshots is no longer the default. We switched to browser.component.enabled=true a while back and will remove the extension entirely in/around bug 1879396.

That said, we do have a couple of touch-related bugs in the new implementation. That is being tracked in 1935831 - I'll add to the See also field.
