Attachment: Bug in action. Link selected. Page not opened.

Tapping links do not open them. They do highlight but are not opened. Does not always happen.

Screenshot attached.

Re-opened as Stefan's build has the fix in bug 775372.

It would be very useful to see any logcat output when this is happening, or to find reliable steps to reproduce the problem.

The only thing i see in the console is:

I wonder if this is related to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=769857 ... it seems to be timing related. Quick taps work ok but slower taps (holding down my finger a tiny longer, just a fraction of a second) result in highlighted links but no opening of the link. I think ... :-)

I was able to reproduce this issue on Galaxy SII (2.3.4) using the latest Nightly (31-07-2012).

Indeed, as Stefan said, holding down the finger a little bit longer (but not long enough to trigger the context menu) will highlight the link without opening it.

I think this is a regression from bug 775372.  I am planning to back out both bug 775372 and bug 769857 because of this and other regressions.

Actually, I spoke too soon.  I can still reproduce this bug even with bug 775372 and bug 769857 backed out.

Yeah same here. I am running Nightly from 08/01 and I still see this happening.

(Nexus 7 / Android 4.1.1 / Nightly 17.0a1 / 08-01)

Do you still see this happening in recent Fennec? The situation described in comment 0 should have been addressed by bug 973348.

I have not noticed this recently.
