STR: 1. Complete a call with Firefox Hello. 2. Click the sad face. 3. See the "What went wrong?" textfield -- type something in there. --> This selects the "Other" radio button. 4. Now, click any of the radio buttons above that field. ACTUAL RESULTS: Your text input is cleared. It's cleared even if you click "Other" (the radio button that it's associated with). EXPECTED RESULTS: - Nothing should change if you click the (already-selected) "Other" button - If you click a different button, perhaps the field should be *disabled* or *hidden* (but not cleared). It should be restored (with the text you entered) if you then click "Other" again. The current state makes for a really bad user experience. When the user hits this UI, they've presumably just had a negative experience, and they're trying to help us by describing it. If we just inadvertantly delete their carefully-crafted explanation, it's kind of a slap in the face. I'm running 36.0a1 (2014-10-23)

Paul, can you please confirm this behaviour and check if it affects Aurora/Beta as well?
Flags: needinfo?(paul.silaghi)
I just tested & confirmed that this affects Aurora (35), FWIW. I couldn't test Beta because I couldn't find a "Hello" icon there (it's not present in the customize view, as far as I can tell).

Thanks. Affects Beta as well, with that pref tweak. Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:34.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/34.0 (The content looks the same in all three -- I'm guessing this content might be hosted on a web server, rather than being bundled in Firefox. [in which case maybe this bug belongs in the "server" component])
Yeah, it looks like this functionality comes from a combination of these scripts (both of which include stuff about "feedback"), and perhaps other scripts as well: https://hello.firefox.com/shared/js/feedbackApiClient.js https://hello.firefox.com/js/webapp.js Moving to "Server".

We use client for the standalone ui as well as the desktop as they have shared code and the main server is separate and manages the connections between clients.

Bug 1077257 will fix this. I added a comment on bug 1077257 to make sure that the text does not get cleared as the user selects a different option.
