861568 - Defect - Rapidly tapping the "Star" bookmark will make several controls unresponsive to touch

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox for Metro Graveyard :: Bookmarks, defect, P2)

Description

[Kamil Jozwiak [:kjozwiak]]

If you tap on the "Star" to bookmark the website several times very quickly (rapidly tapping 4-5 times), the "Refresh", "<-" (Back) and "+" buttons will stop responding to touch in the "App Bar" portion (this is only reproducible if you use touch the entire time)

Steps to reproduce the issue:

1) Open Firefox Metro
2) Go to http://www.wikipedia.org
3) Once the website has loaded, slide the "App Bar" from the bottom and rapidly select the "Star" several times (4 times should be enough but do it very quickly)
4) The "App Bar" should still be opened, try tapping on the "Refresh", "<-" (Back) or "+" (at the top right corner) and you will notice they will not respond
5) Tap on the website and dismiss the "App Bar"
6) While on the same website, slide in the "App Bar" once again and try using the controls mentioned in Step # 4. You will notice that the controls will still be unresponsive

Current Behavior:

- Rapidly tapping the "Star" several times to bookmark a website will make the "Refresh", "<-" (Back) & "+" (at the top right corner) controls unresponsive when tapping them

Expected Behavior:

- The "Refresh", "<-" (Back) & "+" (at the top right corner) controls should work despite clicking on the "Star" several times rapidly

I think there are some other "tapping stops working" type bugs that are probably the same fix as this requires.

p=5?

I'm not too sure what's involved here, but it could require changing a lot of sync calls to be async

Would be nice to get STR here.

Kamil is it possible to see if this still happens with tomorrow's nightly build?
I'm wondering if bug 890362 is what was causing this and related bugs. There's a good chance it's not related but just want to make sure.

Brian, went through this with the latest version and it worked without any issues. Went through the same test case as comment 0 and it didn't lock up the interface. Used "Full" and "Filled" views without any problems.

Also tried pressing the "Pin", "Settings", "New Tab Overlay" buttons several times very quickly and made sure that the interface didn't freeze as before.

Used the following build:
