Project Information

  • Title: Floating Button Bug

Expected behavior

The buttons with this issue are shortcuts to basic features on facebook. Considering that the features are present in both normal and low data mode, I expected the icons to work in both modes.

Actual behavior

When low data mode is activated, the buttons for post a status post a photo and check in are not functional, instead they direct you to the homepage or refresh it, if you were already on the homepage.

How to reproduce

  • Download, install and launch MATERIALFBOOK from fdroid.org

  • Click on the three vertical dashes located at the upper left corner of the interface, to launch the side drawer.

To activate low data mode

  • Navigate down the -drawer list and click on -settings.

  • On the -settings page, locate "Low data mode" toggle, in the general section just a few slides down the settings page.

  • Toggle the option "ON"

To test the buttons

  • Navigate back to the start page and log into the app with your facebook details

  • Once logged in, you should arrive at the home page

  • Now try the floating icons by clicking on the floating button located at the bottom right corner of the interface. The icons should be visible and accessible.

  • Browser/App version: V3.8.1

  • Operating system: Android v6.0 Marshmallow

  • Device: ITEL p12

  • Chipset: Spread
