WebQA Test Results (12/28)

• [FIXED]Pagination Broken in Firefox 3.0.16, Firefox 3.5 [emailed Craig Cook 12/28]
  • The line wrap issue is obvious, but I also noticed that some of the pages are not returning anything:
    • http://hacks.stage.mozilla.com/category/35-days/page/9/ is fine... but http://hacks.stage.mozilla.com/category/35-days/page/10/ returns nothing, even thought 45 articles/3 complete per page should have 15 pages worth of content.
  • Raymond's screenshot: http://www.screencast.com/users/retornam/folders/Jing/media/0bf727b6-30fc-4124-a45f-6512bfb18412
  • [FIXED] wrap issue by setting pagination limit (wp-admin/options-general.php?page=fc-pagination.php)
  • missing page content is being investigated by ccook (12/29) [FIXED]
• Need more posts displayed for title and brief views.
  • Title should have 20 posts
    • 20 items for Title view being added in by ccook (12/29) [FIXED]
  • Brief should have 10 posts [FIXED]
    • [FIXED] by changing global post_per_page from 5 to 10 (under Settings -> Reading)
• Tags that wrap to second line overlap with first line (need more vertical spacing): http://hacks.stage.mozilla.com/2009/12/uploading-files-with-xmlhttprequest/
  • [FIXED] by ccook and will be checked into SVN (12/29)
• "Featured Demo" tagged posts should not display "Demo" tag
  • Full post view: http://hacks.stage.mozilla.com/2009/11/building-beautiful-buttons-with-css-gradients/
  • Home page articles feed: http://hacks.stage.mozilla.com/
  • [FIXED] by ccook and will be checked into SVN (12/29)
• Only 2 featured articles showing up on home page
  • [WFM] not sure if this was fixed or human error, but it's fine now.

New Bugs 12/29

• Nit-pick: Period should be outside the double quotes in "no results found" user message.Screenshot:http://screencast.com/t/MGIwYWRjMm [FIXED]
• WordPress error on clicking submit without entering anything in the comment field- http://hacks.stage.mozilla.com/wp-comments-post.php .In case any user encounters this error,there is no link to go back to home page.
  • we may add some JS validation, but not a blocker (1/4)
• Tagging Broken in IE 7 http://screencast.com/t/NmVkYzBlY
  • The tags are fine... but we lose the rounded corners and the line-break isn't there... so we don't fail as gracefully as we probably could for IE users.
  • ccook: Any better way to implement this or not worth the trouble?
  • decided this was not worth the extra effort, it fails gracefully enough. [WFM]
• Tags that wrap to second line still touch the first line (need at least some space between lines): http://hacks.stage.mozilla.com/demos/ [FIXED?]
• Big demo thumbnails don't show entire image: http://hacks.stage.mozilla.com/demos/ (the smaller thumbnails are resized properly, but the big ones appear centered and cropped)
  • asked ccook if we can avoid the crop and just resize like the smaller thumbnails (1/4)
• Tags with multiple words should not line-wrap: http://hacks.stage.mozilla.com/ ("Featured Demo" in second article should not be wrapped) [FIXED]
• Featured Demo thumbnails aren't displaying on home page for 2nd and 3rd demos: http://hacks.stage.mozilla.com/ (1st is fine, but not sure why the others are not there... maybe a server-side cache issue?)
  • [WFM] This must have been a caching issue, since all 3 are showing up now on 12/30.
• Recaptcha Error http://screencast.com/t/YTA2ODFlNTgt
  • need to add stage url to recaptcha key or retest on production server.
• Demo page does not have edit link: http://hacks.stage.mozilla.com/2009/11/building-beautiful-buttons-with-css-gradients/ (it should be right next to or below the title of the post, but it's not)
  • user error, edit link is there [WFM]
