Perf

  • Ts talos running by the end of the week
  • How to test fast start daemon perf
• panning is too slow
  • not blocking alpha 4
• awesome bar takes too long to come up blocking alpha 4 also a maemo blocker
  • we have race conditions involving selection that we consistently loose (bug 526257)
  • First UI showing
  • selection and test switching
  • sqlite issues
  • results populating
• zoom is super slow need to investigate

Usability

• hard to click on links
• no spatial navigation (as a winmo user, I'm used to having this)
• after selecting an item in the awesome bar (or typing a new url) the previous page's title is shown
• closing and reopening the browser show's the last page you were on for sever seconds before reloading the first run page blocking a4
• notification bar cut off in portrait mode should be fixed
• First run page looks crappy (zoomed out due to being in portrait)
• lots of little front end polish issues

Platform Issues

• Trailing while panning (bug 527511) block a4
• not the default browser (bug 490189) block a4
• task bar pops in when changing orientation block a4
• compact querty soft kb unusable
• can't switch keyboards (no SIP button) block final
• no flash support, need to sort out the activeX side of things
• no html5 video support not blocking final
• new 7zip installer (bug 502933) block a4 - landed
