Update: it seems to have borked the installation, with no progress for ~20 minutes.
Hi @badshah400,
We need to adjust the Firefox configuration a bit to avoid that kind of situations (if possible). I will keep this issue open although we do not plan to work on this soon.
About your "update", please open a separate bug and, if possible, attach the logs so we can figure out what happened.
Thanks!
In the least, the web page should warn the user when Ctrl-W is pressed, for example, with a beforeunload
event. This is typically done on pages with unsaved filled forms if a user tries to close the window/tab. That should be ok IMO, for the lack of a proper mechanism to prevent browser window/tab closing.
We want to have a closer look at Firefox's configuration. beforeunload
can work (only when using Agama locally, because I am not sure we want the behavior when connecting remotely). But apart from ctrl+w, there are other keys that we would like to avoid, not to mention that there is a second tab open (that you already found :-) ).
Started installation, configured everything, and let installation proceed. Once it started I pressed the Ctrl-W button by mistake on the VM window instead of my intended Firefox window and it ended up closing the installer tab inside Firefox. It currently shows a "Welcome to Firefox" tab instead, with no indication as to whether the installation is proceeding or not. Further pressing a Ctrl-W closed off firefox entirely leaving me with a blank only-wallpaper-showing screen.
I know the "Doctor, it hurts when I do so and so" story, but being able to quit the installer midway by simply pressing Ctrl-W should be made impossible, me thinks.
