Status: RESOLVED INVALID

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

Description

[Marco Mucci [:MarcoM]]

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #951635 +++

+++ This bug is concerned with investigating the issue to provide a course of action and recommended point estimate +++

We should remove the animation from tile swipes while in snapped view as you cannot select tiles while Firefox Metro is in snapped view. Right now the tile will have the animation when a user swipes, but nothing will be selected.

Steps to reproduce the issue:

1) Open Firefox Metro
2) Slide in the Desktop from the left hand side (making the views 50/50)
3) Move Firefox Metro into snapped view
4) Once in snapped view, select "Bookmarks"
5) Swipe any of the bookmarks left or right and you'll notice that they have animations but nothing will be selected

Current Behavior:

- When a user swipes any tile while in snapped view, there will be an animation associated with the swipe but nothing will end up being selected

Expected Behavior:

- As a user, when I see an animation I expect something to happen. We should probably remove the animations.
