998086 - [B2G][Tarako][Gallery] The X in the upper left corner of the multi-edit screen highlights with a blue box insconsistently.

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: Gaia::Gallery, defect)

Attachment: logcat.txt

Description:
When you enter the gallery there is an icon on the bottom right to enter a multi select / edit tool. When you select that sometimes the X in the upper left corner will highlight with a blue box around it. Selecting a photo will always cause the X to highlight if it was not already. Entering the share menu and backing out will cause the X to reset to not highlighted; then pressing anywhere on the screen will cause it to highlight again.

Repro Steps:
1) Update a Tarako to BuildID: 20140417004002
2) Select Gallery
3) Select Multi Edit
4) Select on the screen (if the X is not highlighted already)
5) Select share
6) Select Cancel
7) Select anywhere on the screen
Actual:
The X gets a blue highlight box around it.
Expected:
The blue highlight will only appear when the user is pressing on the X

hi David, do you mind providing some input on this bug? is this a regression? Thanks

This seems like a minor polish bug and not a blocker to consider at this point. So removing the nomination.

Joe,

I don't know what is going on here. The bug also occurs when you edit an image and then tap one of the buttons at the bottom of the screen. For some reason, though, when Gallery is used for a pick activity, it does not have this problem.  And the bug also affects the Video app, following the same STR as for Gallery.

The gallery and video apps don't take any explicit action to highlight those buttons. It is all done with the building blocks, and those use CSS :active, I think.  There have been a lot of bugs recently involving :active, and I don't really understand any of them.

Note that if you press and hold the power button and select "Enable APZ for Apps" (presumably only an option in engineering builds) then if you kill and restart the gallery (or video) you'll see that the button no longer highlights when you tap on photos. But now it highlights when you scroll.

I'm going to take this as a sign that this is not a gaia bug but something deeper in the stack. I'm not sure what component it should be part of, but it is not specific to Gallery.

Given that this is not just a minor polish bug for one app, I'm requesting a regression window for it, and resetting the 1.3T? flag. If it turns out to be a recent regression then we might want to block on getting it fixed.  If it is something we've been living with in 1.3T all along and have only noticed it now, then it is probably safe to ignore as a non-blocker.
I'm going to take that as a sign that this is not a gaia-level bug.

Regression window unavailable as this issue occurs in the oldest build we have access to

We were seeing the inconsistent highlight issue when tapping buttons on camera too and this bug is tracking it: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=995532

APZC has been switched off.
Just a reminder .

At this stage, only critical bugs are going into 1.3T

I don't think so.
From https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=999352#c15
We know there are at least two apps having this bug. And the bug didn't exist before.

So it's not a simple gaia bug. maybe something is wrong in gecko.
And we need find out the reason before we meet more similar bugs.
