Problems on JIRA pages #1318

Open jpalus opened 5 years ago

jpalus commented 5 years ago

After quite some time I've checked Tridactyl again and must admit you guys made a huge progress. Seems like a viable alternative to VimFx on Firefox builds with MOZ_ALLOW_LEGACY_EXTENSIONS=1!

However there's still one web app that I find problematic namely JIRA. For example with some tickets scrolling is somewhat "delayed" as if hitting "j" was scrolling some invisible part and only after some time page actually starts to scroll. On public JIRA following ticket is a reproducer:

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MCOMPILER-197

Also sometimes Tridactyl keybindings don't work at all, but I cannot reproduce it reliably. Hopefully those two issues are somehow related.

That's exactly what's happening, Tridactyl first tries to scroll three span.aui-nav-item-label (they're the buttons in the vertical bar on the left) before actually scrolling the right element, div.issue-view. Not sure what we could do about this though, since these elements can be scrolled (changing their scrollTop value works).

That behavior is even more problematic on pages like:

https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/MCOMPILER/issues

I don't know about Tridactyl internals but I guess it tries to scroll whatever it can from left to right:

first the "invisible" part so at first nothing happens
after a while ticket list starts to scroll (even though that's not expected)
after ticket list gets to bottom, actual ticket content is scrolled

Not sure if Tridactyl can do anything about it, however VimFx managed to scroll ticket content by default and it was still possible to scroll ticket list by focusing one of its elements with "et".

That also has some "funny" consequences. Imagine reading through a long ticket. You scroll down all the panes with "j" going to half of ticket content, you spend some time reading but want to go back and check something earlier so you scroll up with "k". However that means waiting again until all preceding panes are scrolled all the way up.

If you can write some js that scrolls JIRA reliably, you could just use bindurl to rebind j and k on the pages you need.

The JIRA is broken entirely when using tridactyl 1.21.0 in FF 86.0.1 with JIRA v8.13.1#813001-sha1:1f8e8da. No content is loaded at all when loading JIRA board but it appears as soon as the tridactyl addon is disabled and page reloaded. There are two errors in the console saying "InternalError: too much recursion".

Have you tried the troubleshooting steps? https://github.com/tridactyl/tridactyl/blob/master/doc/troubleshooting.md

@glacambre it looks like one of the settings did the trick! thanks a lot!
