786341 - Click on a newly-installed app prevents launching of any apps for several minutes

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: General, defect, P1)

Description

[Lucas Adamski [:ladamski]]

Otoro device with GSM data connection

Repro steps:
a) install an app from dev marketplace (games like "Chain Reaction" or "Dungeon Adventure" are good).
b) click on the new app icon (doesn't seem timing dependent, you can wait 10 seconds or more).
c) app you click on doesn't launch.  No other app will launch either.  Home button doesn't seem to do anything
d) after several minutes (5 or more) the app will finally launch, and so will all the other apps you clicked on

Assuming these apps are loading significant amounts of data into appcache?

This is a serious usability issue so blocking+.  Vivien suggested himself as the owner.

Additional note: this seems focus related.  Sometimes waiting for the new app to start showing up in the app list and clicking on it restores usability.  Other times though it just gets more confused (i.e. opening the app makes it impossible to get back to home screen or other apps).

I can no longer reproduce this.  Lucas, can you?

I haven't seen this problem for a while.
