Attachment: testcase

STR:

1) tap in the text input
2) drag left or right to select some text

4) drag same monocle left and down

result: about ~75px below the edit, the selection (which is contracting to the left) will start advancing to the right.

Hmm, I'm not able to. In the attached testcase, I can drag the monocle anywhere down the page and the selection boundary stays parallel to where the drag point is.

This seems to be fixed for me as well. Testing on today's nightly build on my Aspire S7 13" in fill and full screen views.

For Kamil to confirm results - please see comments #8 - #10 for background.

I cannot reproduce this problem on the latest nightly, but I am experiencing problems dragging the monocles or having them show when I drag up or down. I will file a follow up bug.

For Virgil to test and verify.

Comment 15

[Virgil Dicu [:virgil] [QA]]

I won't be able to verify this, as I don't have access to a Win8 tablet. Adding Juan.

Tested on 2013-04-24 using a nightly built from http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/fef5f202b2dc
- Tested with steps on comment #0 and that seems to work now, when the text selection works.
- Filing a follow up bug that relates to how it's very difficult to select the text you intend to in the field: Bug 865356
- I'm verifying the original story because I don't see reverse selection due to dragging of the monocles, but it may need to be re-opened because the defect I filed is closely related.

Went through the following "Defect" for iteration #9 testing without any issues. Used the following build:

http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/2013-07-10-03-02-05-mozilla-central/

- Went through the original test case from comment 0 without any issues
- Watched the video from comment 1 to see the issue and ensure its not occurring
- Dragged the monocles back and forth and everything worked without any issues
- Went through the test cases in "Filled" view and ensured that worked without any issues

Comment 19

[juan becerra [:juanb]]

I went through this for iteration #10 and I didn't see any problems. I used the test cases in comment #18. I tried this on a couple of machines.
