963765 - If app requires permissions, "app installed" message covers button and makes me wait when updating

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

I'm not sure this is the right place for this, but it's a minor nit that's been bugging me in my app update/debug cycle when using the App Manager.

If the app requires a prompt for something when installing, like Contacts, and the app is already running when you click "update" in the App Manager, the prompt immediately comes up. However, the "app installed" message also comes up and completely covers the ok/cancel buttons at the bottom, and every time I have to wait 2-3 seconds for the message to go away before I can press "ok" and debug my app.

It's a minor nit, but can get annoying when constantly refreshing the app.

Yes, that's the right place for such report!

I think that notification is displayed by the system app whenever an app is installed/updated.
A fix may be possible in gaia, to prevent displaying such notification if the app is already running,
or dismiss it if we open the app.

Apps are being removed with B2G cleanup.
