766441 - [HTML5 Twitter] Cancelling does not exit out of Search view

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Web Compatibility :: Site Reports, defect)

Description

[Tony Chung [:tchung]]

Attachment: screenshot

Once you enter the search Tweets/People view, the "Cancel" button does not exit the user back to the main page views as expected.  Instead, it will just just force open the VKB and refresh the page.   

To return to site, you need to click system back button


See screenshot

Repro;
1) log into an account on HTML5 twitter app view (see URL)
2) Goto Connect or Discover tab
3) tap on the search textbox
4) page loads a darker grey page that has a search box for Tweets and People
5) With the cursor focused in the search textbox, click the Cancel button.  Verify all it does it pop up the VKB over and over.

Expected:
- Clicking Cancel should take the user back to the previous Twitter account views

Actual:
- page is stuck in this search state, and cancel just flickers the VKB on and off.  You need to hit system back to get back to twitter view.

The cancel button is now working for me. Note that in some cases I find that clicking on any link/button causes no action. A page reload fixes this issue. I'm not sure if this is an issue with Twitter or Fennec but either way likely deserves a new bug.
