889168 - mousemove events are absent when an actual mouse is used.

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Lerc]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:22.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/22.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20130618035212

Steps to reproduce:

Attach a mouse to an android device.

Move mouse pointer over element with an attached mousemove listener.

Actual results:

mousemove events trigger on clicks but not on mouse pointer movement.  I suspect the mouse click triggers a synthesised touch which in-turn generates a synthesised mousemove.



Expected results:

Moving the mouse should trigger mouse move events.

Which version of Firefox were you using? Do you see the same issue using Nightly for Android (http://nightly.mozilla.org) ?

Using 22.0

Just tried Android Nightly.  Same behaviour.

Yeah I don't think we really added support for this.

Noting that this is now implemented/fixed in modern Firefox/Android 10 from what I can see. Bluetooth mouse paired with phone/tablet behaves (mostly) like a desktop mouse, firing expected mouse/pointer events (on hover, on click) and triggers things like CSS :hover styles.

I think this was fixed in bug 1251346? At any rate, closing bug. Thanks for confirming it works now!
