943557 - Use modifier keys for click events generated by single-tap gestures in Android APZC code

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: Toolbar, defect)

Description

[Matt Brubeck (:mbrubeck)]

Bug 942689 added keyboard modifier info to the "tap" gestures sent by AsyncPanZoomController.  To take advantage of this on Android when using APZC, we'll need to take the modifier info passed to AndroidBridge::HandleSingleTap and pass it as part of the Gesture:SingleTap notification here:

...and then use that info in the code here that receives the Gesture:SingleTap message, and add it to the simulated mouse events:

With the latest advances in APZ technology, we shouldn't need to use Gesture:SingleTap any more once we do the switch. Instead we use the ChromeProcessController::HandleSingleTap which does its own dispatching of simulated mouse events, complete with modifier info.
