586556 - [Meta] Aero Peek and Panorama integration bugs

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox Graveyard :: Panorama, defect, P2)

Description

[Frank Yan (:fryn)]

There are several features of Aero Peek that are broken while in tab view. Here are two off the top of my head:

1. Hovering over an Aero Peek thumbnail should preview that tab.

2. Clicking an Aero Peek thumbnail should exit tab view and select that tab.

Mass moving all Tab Candy bugs from Mozilla Labs to Firefox::Tab Candy.  Filter the bugmail spam with "tabcandymassmove".

This could be a meta bug for all Aero Peek and Panorama integration bugs.

Sure. If you find any other bugs already on bugzilla related to this, or if you want to file other bugs related to this, just make them block this.

I suggest, to improve Panorama and Peak experience:

1. When I select a tab inside a group, hide from Aero Peek all other thumbnails from tabs that aren't grouped in the current group I'm browsing in. 

2. When viewing all tabs on screen (i mean, after clicking button Group your tabs), show ALL thumbnails in Aero Peek (maybe this could be slow, so consider it).

3. When switching to complete view of all tabs, update the thumbnails in the window but NOT RELOAD the content of those tabs (otherwise, the user will lose all content not saved previously).

(By the way, when you resize a group and make all tabs appear in just one thumbnail, with the most recently selected tab in front, and you ask for see all group's tabs preview, the browser crashes unexpectedly.)

To Frank Yan: it seems that what you asked in 1 and 2 are solved right now (Build 20100829) but the point 1 still requires a little fix, 'cause you cannot visualize the address bar and the tabs bar, you just see the above part of the tab view.

Please, solve it. I'll be waiting for it.

Some of these dependencies are dupes, I'm pretty sure.

Not blocking (meta!) will review each bug in turn.

Note that these bugs will likely be affected by: 

Turn off Aero Peak until we can implement a delayed hover
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=605338

and eventually:
Only display Aero Peek tab previews on a delayed hover
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=586155

We expect bug 605338 to land before FF4.0, and bug 586155 after FF4.0, so punting this to the future.
