Bugzilla – Bug 11320
Now Playing song progress bar text "skips"
Last modified: 2011-11-06 23:25:02 UTC
The numbers for 0:00 and -0:00 jump or "skip" depending on the number. It is a bug we saw on Jive as well. The net effect is that the numbers appear to be animated. Another very minor issue is the alignment of the negative "-" symbol. The FreeSans font type will never appear centered. We could very easily generate our own negative symbol as an asset for the NP screens.
When you say jump/skip you mean that they move spatially, not that the values change unexpectedly? That's because the digits are not all of fixed width. Tom: is there a way to force this?
Correct, move left to right. We saw this on Jive too. I would be tempted to have the numbers 12:34 be individual elements that are grouped together if that will achieve the right effect. The same problem would occur for digital clocks too. So the engineering work would be worth it!

The best solution here is to tweak freesans (or the glyph renderer) to force the digits to all have the same width. This is the traditional solution to ensure numerical columns line up.
Moving to the product SqueezePlay because this bug appears to apply to any player based on that application code. Feel free to move it back if it's specific to the original product.
Reset priority before triage.
this is an administrative shuffle on priority fields to help make better judgment on the top end of the priority list. P4->P5, P3->P4, and P2->P3.
Moving these bugs to P4 to make room for moving P1.5 bugs to P2
Administrative move of 7.5 bugs. All P2, P3, P4 being downgraded one level. Will then split P1s.
Moving lower-priority bugs to next target

Unassigned bugs cannot have a priority.
