Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Remote Protocol :: Marionette, defect)

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/28.0.1500.71 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

(In build: unagi-ICS.eng.v1-train.Rel0.4.Sprint12.B-157.Gecko-2d17cfb.Gaia-773a197)

1. Open a message thread that contains messages with email addresses in them.
2. Click the 'Edit thread' button.
3. Use marionette to get the ("tag name", "a") element from a message with an email address in it.
4. Use marionette actions to 'long_press(el,2)' that element. 


Actual results:

The "create new contact / add to existing contact" menu appears.


Expected results:

Nothing (confirmed with a manual 'long_press'). When the thread is in edit mode, tapping and long pressing links in messages should do nothing.

This appears to be because when you're in edit mode, there's the edit overlay that lies on top of the messages. When the overlay appears, it doesn't mark the elements under the overlay as disabled and the elements are still visible, so marionette will let you interact with them. If you direct a tap to the overlay (instead of the element), then you won't see the add contact menu show up because the overlay consumes those events and doesn't let them propagate below.

I don't feel that this is a bug in marionette because there is no way for it to know that the elements are not supposed to be interacted with. It can't tell if there is some overlay that will prevent it from receiving events, so I will mark this as wontfix.
