Title:
Regression: FF4: back button history dropbox only opens if point is
held still.
Status in Mozilla Firefox:
Confirmed
Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
Binary package hint: firefox
Current implementation (Firefox 4.0beta7)
1. Move pointer to back button on navigation toolbar
2. Click and hold without moving
3. Move (still holding left-button)
4. Release over chosen item
Previous, historical behaviour (in line with other menu
implemtations):
1. Move pointer to back button on navigation toolbar
2. Click and hold (regardless of movement)
3. Release over chosen item
The newer implementation slows the user down by preventing them
anticipating the shortly-to-appear menu. The newer implementation is
harder to accurately complete (especially on pen, or finger-based
devices) where the pointer must not be allowed to move until the menu
has appeared.
Ideally if the pointer click begins in the back button and then moves
outside the bounds, the dropbox should appear immediately (the delay-
timer should be short-circuited) since the only actions remaining are
to select a menu item (release over dropdown) or cancel (release
outside dropdown).
