970973 - Empty space in toolbar where lock icon would go

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[:Margaret Leibovic]

Attachment: screenshot

I ran into this last night, and the empty space stayed there even as I switched tabs and navigated to other pages.

I can't reproduce right now, but I'll pay attention to see if I run into this again. At the time, I was opening links from Twitter, so maybe something with loading external URLs triggered this?

There was a similar issue logged a while ago in bug 867608 and bug 873086. I'll look into this and see if I can reproduce.

Mihai, any luck reproducing this bug?

Tried on several devices, and different scenarios but no luck reproducing this issue.

I was the one who originally filed this bug, and I haven't seen this again, so I'm closing as WORKSFORME. I can reopen if I see it happen again.

Still reproducing on latest Nightly 31.0a1(2014-04-09), unfortunately haven't got the steps to reproduce

STR from bnicholson in bug 994339: Do a search and create a new tab before the lock icon appears. See screenshot.

Can reproduce in beta, but not release.

It seems the issue was the favicon animation would start, but when disabling animations while switching tabs, we only changed the security visibility, rather than cancelling the animation, which sets the page title position, thus the position was never reset, and the gap was shown.

Verified as fixed on Nightly 31.0a1(2014-04-16) using the STR from bnicholson. Will this be uplifted to aurora and beta?

While it seems fairly harmless to uplift to Beta, I don't think we have enough time to let it comfortably ride the trains. It doesn't appear to be a significant issue (I don't think I've ever repro'd in the wild) so I think uplifting to just Aurora would be fine. Thank you for the reminder.

Prevent empty space in security identity.

[Approval Request Comment]
Bug caused by (feature/regressing bug #): Unknown.

User impact if declined:
  While quickly changing tabs, users may see an empty space in the toolbar. As far as I know, this should only happen on non-secure sites, meaning there is no loss in functionality (besides a few missing page title characters) - it just looks unpolished. See the attached screenshots.

Testing completed (on m-c, etc.):
  Local testing.
 
Risk to taking this patch (and alternatives if risky):
  Low - this patch performs animation cancellation everytime this lock icon should be set visible or invisible, as opposed to only when a particular flag is not set, so worst comes to worst, some UI mechanic screws up in another edge case and it looks less polished.

String or IDL/UUID changes made by this patch: N/A

Correct - we are out of time for Beta.
