878808 - [SMS] When focusing the input area, the cursor position should not be lost to the scroll

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: Gaia::SMS, defect)

Description

[Corey Frang [:gnarf]]

I'm not sure if we want to do something about this.

Steps:
* Add two or three images
* tap on the bottom of the message to start typing text

Expected:
* You can see where you will be typing

Actual:
* Because the height of the box changes, the cursor is well below the scrollable area

----

if you type anything, the scroll is updated correctly

I think we could detect where the focus is and update the scrollTop when we do this

Must fix. Not acceptable to have to type blind.

I can’t reproduce this bug with the master branch. Maybe it’s been fixed along with bug 877776…

Naoki, Mike, can you confirm this bug still occurs?

Comment 3

[Mike Pennisi [:jugglinmike]]

The patch for bug 877776 helped us identify this as a previously-existing problem.  As it stands, I can still reproduce on `master` (93cfac235cba8c4131da71386a56f23ddb60fb61).

Thanks Mike. I saw the container size issue, working on it.

Ugh, the container issue I was referring to was described… and fixed in bug 877683.

yep must fix form a UX perspective as well. Can you also ensure that you put me on CC for any bugs that are opened regarding the messaging (SMS or MMS) app please.

I really still don't understand the magic number issue in the comments.  Could you try again to explain why you can't just assign scrollTop a value you get from the clientRect?

Corey, I’ve just updated the pull request according to your suggestions, please have another look.

Thanks! This works as expected, and has less magic numbering than we started with :)
