925457 - Defect - Tap that crosses boundary between text field and app bar pushes Firefox Start content up the screen rather than overlaying

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

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

Description

[Asa Dotzler [:asa]]

On my Dell tablet, when my finger tap is "on the line" -- the textfield's border, the field gets focus and the soft keyboard comes up but it pushes the Firefox Start content up the screen when it should overlay.  If my tap is not on the line, but fully within the text area, the widget behaves as expected. 

Steps to reproduce:

1. Launch Metro Firefox
2. Tap on the border of the "Enter Search or Address" field.
3. See focus enter the text field, the on screen keyboard slides up, the app bar slides into view, and Firefox Start content is pushed up the screen rather than overlayed. 


Expected results: 

1. Launch Metro Firefox
3. Tap on the border of the address/search field.
3. Focus is set in the text field, the OSK slides up with the app bar overlaying the Firefox Start content. 

We get expected results if you're very careful to tap inside the text field and not across the border into the app bar (or perhaps the actual Firefox Start content area, I cannot see a border between the two so it's hard to tell.) 

Tested with 10/10 nightly on Win 8.1 on a Dell Atom Z2760 tablet.

This applies to content pages as well as about:config, btw.

Attachment: v1: Clicking the urlbar should reset tap coordinates to null so we never decide to shift the browser

This patch needs to be applied after patches in bug 925467

Sorry for the delay, don't know how this review request slipped past me.
