Affected versions

• Nighty 123.0a1

Tested platforms

• Affected platforms: macOS 13, Ubuntu 22.04 and Windows 10 x64.

Preconditions

• 'screenshots.browser.component.enabled' is set to true in about:config

Steps to reproduce

1. Enable Screenshots by hitting the Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+S keys.
2. Select a region by mouse dragging over the screenshots overlay.
3. Observe the available buttons.

Expected result

• The buttons provided when capturing a screenshot by drag or click should be consistent with the options provided by "Save visible" or "Save full page."

Actual result

• The Retry button is not present when capturing a screenshot by drag or click.

Regression range

• This is not a regression.

We think maybe the "X" icon in the overlay toolbar should actually restore the "Drag or click on the page" (crosshairs) state rather than close the screenshots UI entirely.

I can confirm that when when clicking the "X" button in the overlay toolbar - Screenshots is not dismissed but a Retry is done - tested using the latest Nightly 123.0a2 (build ID: 20240117145030) on Windows 10 x64, Ubuntu 22.04 and macOS 13.

@Sam, with this change the "X" button in the overlay toolbar has a different functionality than the "X" button in the Save dialogs. Are there any upcoming plans to update the button label to "Retry," or will it will remain as is?

I'm thinking of this more like an undo stack. Close or Escape puts you back to the previous state when you made a choice. I'm not sure if other people will understand this the same way, but for now, no plans to update the button label.
