624749 - Select box and form assistant jiggle up and down

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Wesley Johnston (:wesj)]

When the virtual keyboard is brought up and the select box/dialog is shown (by trying to filter the select list), the form assistant bar and the select dialog can begin jiggling up and down. Noticed by thomas while working on Bug 624670. Same str:

1. Go to the Advanced search form on Bugzilla
2. Click on the multiple selection combobox below "Product"
3. Select the options "Calendar" and "Camino"
4. Click on the search field in the Form Assistant bar

Result: The form assistant bar and select dialog begin to jiggle up and down by a few pixels.

Assistant bar giggles up and down for the following scenario:

1. Start Fennec.
2. Open a new tab and visit yahoo.com for example.
3. Close about:home (or about:firstrun) tab.
4. Kill Fennec.
5. On restart, previous session is restored. (yahoo.com tab is reloaded)
6. Open, in a new tab, any page that contains input fields (e.g.: google.com, gmail.com, litmus.mozilla.org)
7. Tap in input field.

Expected results:
VKB is displayed, along with Form Assistant. Entered text is visible in input field.

Actual results:
VKB is displayed, along with Form Assistant but form assistant jiggles up and down constantly. Typed text is not visible in input field.

Attachment: Patch

We don't need to fire the event if the size has not changed.
