Attached patch WIP tearoff patch (obsolete) (deleted) — Splinter Review
Users should be able to drag chat windows out to separate windows. This is separate from and in addition to bug 878852 (resizing attached chat windows). Patch revives the service window for chat window use. Dragging on chat window titlebar will tear off the chat window into it's own window. Each chat window is on it's own. Still need to look into some ux issues (e.g. how to re-attach if necessary), preventing duplicate chat windows opening, provider shutdown, etc. Would also like to support tabs in these windows, have to figure out how to get a tab without having extrachrome (ala about:addons).

Attached patch WIP tearoff patch (obsolete) (deleted) — Splinter Review
This patch is functionally equivalent to the mockup from Boriss in bug 878852. We agreed to keep the tear-off functionality here, and bug 878852 for resizing an attached chat window. todo: two images (Boriss), css and tests (it only fixes existing tests) otherwise, this should be review ready

Comment on attachment 762094 [details] Icons: Close/minimize/popout for upper right of chat window (default and click state) Boriss, the current close icons we have are os themed (linux+osx the same, different colors on windows). Do we need to do that for the new icons, or should I replace the existing windows icon?

Why do we need to support resizable chat windows and tear-off chat windows? I think the resizable chat windows will be sufficient and reduce the complexity significantly.
(In reply to Jared Wein [:jaws] from comment #10) > Why do we need to support resizable chat windows and tear-off chat windows? > I think the resizable chat windows will be sufficient and reduce the > complexity significantly. TBH, if we didn't want to support both, I'd think the tear-offs would be more useful than resizable in a WebRTC context. Eg, you'd likely want the ability to move the video window to one side so you can still use other apps (eg, find an email, etc) while the call is in progress. Even using Fx itself would be somewhat difficult if you tried to have the video window at a reasonable size while not obscuring the content in the browser you are discussing during the call. Or to put it another way: I'd have real trouble replacing the Vidyo/Skype calls I'm involved in with a resizable chat window that can't be torn away from the main browser.

Mark hit the nail on the head. While resizing might be trivial, I'm not convinced that resizable docked chats are that useful. I find the docked chats get in the way at their current size. If you consider a combination of something like towtruck and talkilla for cobrowsing, the interference becomes substantial if you have to make your video window larger.
Ok, I can see that. A few issues still remain though with the current patch, since there isn't a way to place the detached window back in as a regular chat tab. We also will lack a way to undo-closing the chat window if it is closed on accident. For a v1, can we do as Mark proposed and just promote the chat to a tab within the current browser? That will also give us the benefit of supporting Undo Close Tab and other nice benefits of the platform.

I'm not certain if that will work in all cases, since there may be webrtc reconnections, etc. Not saying it wont work, I just don't know if provider-specific issues could crop up if reloading the chat window. I think we could do a followup bug to add undo and examine what if any issues there would be with that. Are there other issues? > For a v1, can we do as Mark proposed and just promote the chat to a tab > within the current browser?

It defeats many use-cases in talkilla, prevents video chat for cobrowsing, etc. IMO chat in a tab is not an alternative, though I'd be happy to do it as an addition.
Chat in a tab would allow that tab to be in a separate window, which should be similar to the serviceWindow in terms of functionality, right?
(In reply to Jared Wein [:jaws] from comment #15) > Chat in a tab would allow that tab to be in a separate window, which should > be similar to the serviceWindow in terms of functionality, right? Oh, I get where you're going, and it reminded me of the earlier approach I tried to take, which was exactly what you are suggesting. I was able to load the chatbox into a tab, however, in this case, the doc shell swapping would not work on the sub frame inside the chatbox. I looked at the doc shell handling, it's pretty extensive and I'd be more worried about changing that than the approach I ended up going with.

Pardon my ignorance then, but how would docshell in the service window not have the same issue? Perhaps Felipe or Tim can help you out here?

Perhaps Felipe or Tim can help you out here? The servicewindow (no longer used in current patch) was loading an html page in the tab and docshell swapping did work. With the ux requirements that Boriss and I went through, I have to use xul, loading the chatbox element. Thus (if I load a xul page into the tab), the browser that needs to be swapped is not top-level, which afaik docshellswap prevents.

When dragging the chat window out, I wanted to have the window open at the drop location (e.g. being able to drag the chat to a different screen). Tabs work the same way, though they duplicate the size of the window they are dragged out of (thus are calculated). Since we open into a larger window than the attached windows, we dont have that luxury. I feel this is a fine compromise.
felipe: mixedpuppy: it'd be nice to test what effect do these new window have on session restore felipe: e.g. if you close the last browser window and that one remains, does it change what session is saved felipe: making it more clear, "and a pop out chat remains" If I quit Firefox when only a chat window is open (no browser windows), session restore opens the last opened browser window (as expected) and does not open any chat windows. I think this is the correct.

I think this is the correct. correction. It opens a browser window with the configured home page. It does not restore the last browser window and the tabs that window contained. I never have more than one tab really open in my test profile, so I missed that initially. I'll look into this further.

I'll look into this further. But is the previous session still stored and available in the "Restore session" button in the start page? If so this is the standard behavior. To really test it it's probably better to change the "Options > General > When Firefox starts" to "Show my windows and tabs from last time"

I think that is also what you are saying.
