886103 - Can't correctly select text in the translation interface using Firefox for Android

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(developer.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Editing, defect, P1)

Description

[Pierre Rudloff]

What did you do?
================
1. Opened the translation interface
2. Clicked somewhere in the translated text

What happened?
==============
The caret went far upper in the page than where I clicked.

What should have happened?
==========================
The caret should have been set where I clicked.

Is there anything else we should know?
======================================
At first, I thought this was a Firefox for Android bug but I can't seem to reproduce it on another website.

So were you trying to edit/create a translation?  i.e. you saw the WYSIWYG editor?

I can't move forward here without more information.  Were you trying to translate a document?  What android device and what android version?  What version of Firefox for Android?

Translation/editing by Android device hasn't been a requirement, why is this P1?  If editing/translation via mobile is a requirement, this could be a Q-long goal.  Ali? Maris?

I agree, both translating and editing on mobile devices doesn't sound like a priority.  Ali, what do you think?

Adding a needinfo for comment 1 and comment 2.

I was trying to create a translation on an Asus TF300T. It is an Android device but has a touchpad and full azerty keyboard so I often use it for writing when I am not at home.

Thank you for the new info Pierre! :)  I'll try to get an android device from Mozilla to test with!

Again, thank you so much for your bug report and efforts!
