requesting blocking for this high profile web compat bug.

This also happens in desktop browsers (Firefox and Chromium) when the browser window is narrow.

how does it look if our UA is set to the stock browser's? (just wondering why it works fine in the stock browser)

When Fennec is set to use the Android WebKit UA, we get a mobile version of the UI.  In this version, the read-only view works okay, but the "Edit" view fails to load.  (There's an "a is undefined" JavaScript error in the console but this is not very helpful without access to the unminified source code.)

Isn't this a dupe of bug 624163?

We decided to focus bug 624163 on keyboard issues only and use separate bugs for width issues, so let's keep this one open.

What parts are evangelism and what parts are Fennec bugs? Sounds like we should be able to pan. If we can't that's likely a Fennec bug. Pasting from bug 624163:
-------
I was able to edit a Google spreadsheet successfully, using both the mobile
interface (in Fennec on Android) and the desktop interface (in Fennec on
desktop).

In the Google Docs word processor, I get the desktop UI on both desktop and
Android.  The content is fixed-width and centered, which causes the left and
right edges to be cut off.  (This is not a Fennec bug; the same thing happens
in desktop browsers with narrow windows.)  Zooming is disabled with a meta
viewport tag.

I can reproduce the keyboard problems from comment 3 (maybe caused by bug
630576).

Changing Fennec's UA to match the stock Android browser results in a mobile
version that still has some display problems (content is centered and the left
and right edges are cut off).  Pressing the "Edit" button in the mobile version
leads to a blank screen.

We can maybe fix the key events (bug 630576), but the display issues and
compatibility with the mobile UI will need an evangelism bug.

The issue with panning does not seem to be a Fennec bug.  It looks like the page uses overflow:hidden or similar, so the browser should not display the clipped areas.  Neither Chromium nor Minefield can scroll to these areas when they are cut off because of a narrow browser window.

I think should be an evangelism bug, with two possible solutions:
1) Fix the desktop Google Docs to not require particular window sizes, or
2) Fix the mobile Google Docs to work in Fennec, and serve it to Fennec by default.
