985940 - Tab list does not retract after swiping to close a tab

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[u421692]

Attachment: screenshot

Device: Asus Transformer TF101
Build: Aurora 30.0a2 (2014-03-19)
 
Steps to reproduce:
1. Open Fennec and tap on the tab menu button (top left). Make sure you have a few tabs opened.
2. Quick swipe over a tab

Expected result:
Tab is closed and tab list is retracted

Actual result:
Tab is not closed(if is focused) and tab list is not retracted(see attached screenshot)

Note: The issue is intermittent and I was able to reproduce it only on tablets.
I've reproduced this issue on every FF branch, however, this might be a regression, since I can not reproduce this issue on FF 24.

Can reproduce on Alcatel One Touch 8008D (Android 4.1.2)

Also reproducible on Motorola Razr (Android 4.1.2) in both portrait and landscape mode.

Are you sure this affects 36+? We have the new tablet UI enabled (bug 1014156) and users can no longer swipe-to-close.

Please reopen if so.

This issue is reproducible on phones. Both devices from comment 1 and comment 2 are phones.

Since these devices are 4.1.2, I'm going to guess they're older - sounds like we have a race condition.
