Nosh iPhone App bug: toggling buttons on account sign up screens causes a white bar to appear.

Nosh iPhone App (version 2.0)

Date: 03/30/13

Description:

Found a very minor problem with the newly released Nosh iPhone App (version 2.0).

I'm writing it down because this is the type of minor issue that I seem to find on about one out of every ten iPhone applications that I play around with.

This bug isn't likely to occur during the course of normal human being using the app, but it still happens as is interesting.  And, like I said, if you're motivated to find this thing, you can find it on a lot of apps.  I logged a bug similar to this years ago for an early version of the LinkedIn iPhone app.

The issue isn't the bizarre method it takes to activate the bug, the issue is the end result.  It takes a little finger finesse, but the user is able to get this white bar overlaid on top of "Sign Up" account creation screens.

This user is able to do this by toggling the "Avatar Photo" option and a "Back" option at the same time.

Steps to reproduce this problem:

1.  Download Nosh Version 2.0 for iPhone and launch it
2.  Select "My Profile"
3.  Select the big "Sign Up" box in the bottom left hand corner of the "HEY YOU" screen
4.  Select the "Avatar Photo" option in the bottom right and the "Back" button in upper left at the same time
5.  From the "HEY YOU" screen, note the white bar at the top of the screen

Result:  Pressing the "Avatar Photo" option and the "Back" option on the Nosh iPhone app account creation screen results in a white bar being on screen

Launch the Nosh iPhone app.

Select "My Profile"

Select "Sign Up" from the "HEY YOU" screen

From this screen, prime two fingers, and select the camera icon in bottom right and the back option in the upper left.

It's hard to make out here, but you'll see a white bar floating around in the iPhone app.
