705248 - Long tapping on a link while the device is in landscape mode rarely triggers the Context Menu

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect, P2)

Description

[Cristian Nicolae (:xti)]

Mozilla/5.0 (Android;Linux armv7l;rv:11.0a1)Gecko/20111124
Firefox/11.0a1 Fennec/11.0a1
Devices: Samsung Galaxy Nexus S
OS: Android 2.3.4

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open Fennec App
2. Switch device orientation to landscape
3. Browse to news.google.com (Classic version)
4. Open a new tab and go to www.yahoo.com (Desktop version)
5. Perform a long tap on several links from both opened websites

Expected result:
Context Menu is triggered each time when a long tap is performed over a link.

Actual result:
Context Menu is triggered just for 1-2 attempts out of 10 or even less as you can see in the following video (even if a zoom in is performed there will be the same result): http://youtu.be/Xpl2UB0Qrzs

Sriram - Can we check (via logging) that the long tap is being triggered? Are we just not finding the link? Check the error console (logcat) for any errors while trying to long tap in landscape.

This is working for me, probably after the fix for: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=704579

Please reopen if seen again.
