969350 - Linux: First Run Tour: Menu panel doesn't stay attached to anchor when you resize the window

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 972566

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Catalin Varga [QA][:VarCat]]

Environment used:

FF 29
User Agent:Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:29.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/29.0
Build Id:20140207004002
OS: Ubuntu 12.10 x32 

STR:



1. Start the First Run Tour from https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/29.0a2/whatsnew/.
2. On the first step the Menu Panel is opened.
3. Resize the Firefox window.

Expected:
You can't resize the window because the focus is on the menu panel( this is the behavior on the rest of the pages with Australis)

Actual:
You are allowed to resize and the Menu Panel and the highlight remain on the same spot even if the window was moved due to resizing.

I'll check next week to see if this is a regression or not.

The good news is that we didn't run the tour on Linux for Aurora yet.

Unfortunately I'm having a hard time understanding why you expect that you shouldn't be able to resize the window? It is true that outside the tour when you go to resize the window, the menu panel normally closes but during the tour we intentionally keep it open so that, for example, clicks on the webpage don't make the panel disappear only to have the page re-open it every time.

> and the Menu Panel and the highlight remain on the same spot even if the window was moved due to resizing.

This is not expected. They should follow the window albeit sometimes with a big lag.

I concur with the last comment. I presume the same thing true when it's a menu that's open.

From comment 2 my understanding is that the fact that the menu panel remains open even if you click on the page is expect behavior. 
But the issue that the Menu Panel and the highlight remain on the same spot even if the window was moved due to resizing is still a bug . And this bug is not reproducible outside of UI Tour because you can't resize the Fx window without first focusing the window and outside of UI Tour the menu panel will close when you focus the window. The bug is somewhat similar with bug 972566 the difference being that under Ubuntu the issue is reproducible 100% of the time.

If a webpage resizes the browser window while the panel is open, I suspect the same issue would occur even without the UI Tour (unless that also autohides the menupanel under normal circumstances, I'm not sure).

I expect that the panel not being anchored correctly (ie not following the anchor when its position changes due to a resize) is a Linux-specific issue. :-(

(P3- because the breakage isn't major, few people will do this, even fewer people are on Linux; Matt, please adjust if you disagree and/or I've missed something)

Comment 7

Lets dupe this to bug 972566 then since comment 0 prescribes not allowing resizes which I don't agree with.
