First try of a focused sprint on front-end bugs. This one is focused on UI paper cuts. Current bug list. Starts today and ends on Friday. All are invited to pitch in!

Note: I won't be able to make this week's meeting, but my status is below. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or comments!

Last Week:

  • bug 836568 landed: Reflow-on-zoom has issues with events being queued up.
  • bug 862763: Font inflation checking is showing up way too much (~15%) in profiles (complete, but hasn't landed yet - still in review).


This Week:

  • Still working on bug 836565, but there's a plan to go forward that I hope to have mostly complete by the end of the week.
  • bug 864595: Assertion failure in caretPositionFromPoint
  • Look into other issues that Margaret is having with caretPositionFromPoint returning an unexpected object for a given set of coordinates.
  • bug 861106: Crash in nsDocumentViewer::SetMinFontSize.
