618523 - FF Home: webpages get shifted up

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Cloud Services Graveyard :: Firefox Home, defect)

Description

Attachment: Shifted up screenshot

Sometimes after syncing, and then opening the webpages in the native browser, the page will get shifted up and displayed out of range.  It doesnt always happen though.  This is also an older issue (saw in 1.0.4), but i can't recall if its been already logged or not.

* See screenshot

REpro:
1) install FF Home 1.1b6
2) Sync your data.  i added gmail to bookmarks in a custom folder
3) Open your webpage in native browser (i opened up gmail)
4) Verify the whole screen is shifted up

Expected:
- page aligned

Actual:
- shifted

Can we get this prioritized?   I'm still seeing this regularly on builds.  The latest is 1.1.1b1.  This is ugly experience.

I've seen it, but I have never been able to reproduce this.

Does this happen on your iPod with 3.1.3?

Does it also happen on your iPhone with 4.x?

Do you change the orientation of the device when this happens?

I will look at the code and see if there is anything there that looks suspicious.

nearly 95% reproducible on itouch 3.1.3.  After initial sync, then opening a bookmark or tab, you'll get the shifted screen on any bookmark you open.  

Switching to landscape orientation and back seems to fix the view.

has not happened on my iphone4 yet
