822512 - Feedback on form error doesn't update properly

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Marketplace Graveyard :: Consumer Pages, defect)

Description

[David Bialer [:dbialer]]

Feedback from user.

Using desktop verion.

Hi, there is a minor bug in the UI of comment section for an app. Steps to reproduce

1) Write a long comment (>150 chars, say 163 chars)
2) Select a big section and delete it.
3) Write a smaller text so that the comment stays <150 chars

What to note: the error message in the bottom left (in red text) is still not updated. It still says the value should be 150 chars long but is 163 chars long. The length displayed in bottom right is correctly updated though.

The error form only updates on submission. If you don't press Submit again, the error will not update. Is this what you are experiencing?

I received this through the feedback mechanism from a b2g tester so am kind of re-reporting it.  Looking at the bug again, it is a bit ambiguous. I tried it and you are correct.  When you clear the display, it resets the character count but doesn't reset the error message.  Not really an error and perhaps it is up to interpretation what the correct behavior is.  I would ask UX to look at.

If that's the case I'm willing to wontfix this.  UX can get back to us if they want to tweak it.  Thanks for investigating.
