783605 - DOM Full screen should disable social sidebar

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox Graveyard :: SocialAPI, defect)

Description

[Johnathan Nightingale [:johnath]]

I think UI-initiated full screen browsing can probably leave the social sidebar in place, but DOM-initiated fullscreen (e.g. when playing a bananabread demo) should almost certainly hide it.

I think we need to fix this for v1.

This is the easy fix, but has a couple of concerns:

* Doesn't differentiate between DOM-fullscreen and browser-fullscreen (ie, F11)... Depending on how you're using F11 mode, you may or may not want the sidebar. We do keep the bookmarks sidebar around, fwiw.

* Should I worry about the display:none tearing down bindings and having something unexpectedly fail? I did a quick test with width/max-width set to zero, but that wasn't working.

Hmm, I wonder if this might mess up provider expectations (for the moment, the sidebar is only loaded when it is visible). A simpler solution might be to have the browser-fullscreen code call SocialSidebar.updateSidebar() and add a check there for full screen mode (both types? that's confusing).

This hides the sidebar, without unloading the provider, when in dom fullscreen mode.  The sidebar remains visible (if it was) when in browser fullscreen mode.

I also renamed SocialSidebar.enabled since a) it threw me off reading the code, and b) that was about whether the sidebar was toggled open or not.

Is mozfullscreenchange the right event name? browser.js seems to use MozEnteredDomFullscreen. And should you check window.fullScreen in addition to mozFullScreen? As I understand it there are two separate "full screen mode"s (though I'm not quite clear on the difference).

Gavin, mozfullscreenchange is fired when the dom fullscreen mode is entered/adjusted/exited. The other fullscreen mode is F11 full-screen, which IMO we should leave the sidebar visibility unchanged.

MozEnteredDomFullscreen implies that it only fires for entering fullscreen, and is only useful if you are displaying a fullscreen warning for security reasons.

As for the flags: window.mozFullScreen, window.mozFullScreenElement and/or window.fullScreen.  MDN Documentation is not terribly clear:

mozFullScreen: whether document is in full screen mode
fullScreen: whether window is in full screen mode
mozFullScreenElement: element being presented in full screen mode

I *think* mozFullScreen is a flag for DOM full screen, whereas fullScreen is browser full screen, in any case using mozFullScreen is getting the correct results.

clear as mud?
