Firefox bug(tooltip): $apply already in progress

[markharwood]

Latest Kibana and Firefox throw fatal error when button with tooltip has a click handler with a confirm dialog.

Steps to reproduce - add button with a tooltip:

<button ng-click="myDeleteFunction()" tooltip="Delete widget">Delete</button>

.. and a function handler

$scope.myDeleteFunction = function () {
    if (confirm('Delete this?')) {
      console.log('Deleted');
    }
};

tested on OSX 10.11.5 - does not happen on Chrome and seems related to this angular issue

The solution to this is to use the safeConfirm service rather than directly using window.confirm: https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/src/ui/public/safe_confirm/safe_confirm.js

@markharwood Are you experiencing this in currently committed code?

[markharwood]

Yes, the graph "new" menu button has this behaviour but I opened a general issue because it looked like it may impact other areas.

The solution to this is to use the safeConfirm

I'll use that and close this issue, thanks
