947091 - Awful UX of "site will hide the pointer" popup message

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[SiPlus]

Attachment: Issue screenshot

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.2; WOW64; rv:25.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/25.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20131112160018

Steps to reproduce:

Activated pointer lock and allowed it at any time for a website.


Actual results:

A permanent "[URL] will hide the pointer" popup appeared on the screen, not letting me see the top-left corner of the page. It also has a close button that is unusable (unless you have a touch screen) because the mouse pointer is locked and hidden.


Expected results:

A temporary popup should have appeared. There shouldn't be close button since there's no way to press it.

It disappears after clicking for the second time, but still, it's really broken.

Comment 2

Why it's bad to make the user have to click twice is because first, it's unintuitive (at first, I thought the sign would not disappear at all because I clicked only once), and second, because onclick is fired twice.

Idea: "Press spacebar to dismiss this message." Or a user could click anywhere on the screen and it will disappear.
