837252 - Tapping on already-entered "To" address causes rendering glitches

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 798292

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: Gaia::E-Mail, defect)

Description

[Chris Jones [:cjones] inactive; ni?/f?/r? if you need me]

STR
 (1) Compose email
 (2) Enter address in "To" field
 (3) Focus another input field, like the subject body
 (4) Tap the "To" field

Some glitches (I think) I remember seeing
 - empty item in dropdown menu
 - random parts of other message fields are blanked out
 - random parts of the screen are partially covered with what looks like a translucent gray overlay

Are we trying to fade out the screen but not quite getting it right?

b? -> radar

Attachment: (correct) result of clicking on a mail bubble

This is what you should be seeing when you click on an e-mail bubble in compose.

Was a bubble created before you switched?  What branch/build are you using?

I think my bug 837333 is a dup of this.  Mine was with v1.0.0 branch

Yeah, Naoki, I think your bug 837333 is indeed the same as this.

My screenshot is from gaia/master where the fix for bug 798292.  Triage note on https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=798292#c25 means this will not hit v1.0.0 or v1.0.1.

What you guys are seeing is actually what the original UX spec was for context menu stuff.  We were supposed to highlight the focus of the user's action by masking out everything else, then display a context menu bubble.  I think the bubble looks a little stupider than it should because we ended up disabling a menu item for functionality that got kicked from v1 and I guess display: hidden ended up on it instead of display: none for that hack.

In any event, duping you both over to the fixed bug.  Please agitate for permission to uplift there.
