Message area does not collapse when message is dismissed

[uglyeoin]

Steps to reproduce the issue

Go to admin install something so you generate a message. When the message arrives dismiss it. The success message collapses. I think the error message collapses too. The information messages do not collapse.

Expected result

The success message collapses. I think the error message collapses too.
The information message collapses like the other two.

Actual result

The information messages do not collapse.

Here is a video of me doing this. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/40004789/joomla-admin.mp4

System information (as much as possible)

It is not an issue with the information message type. The problem is that when you have more than one message the "collapse" only happens on dismissing the first one

[uglyeoin]

Ah I see, this is unusual behaviour though right? We should try to "fix" it? The average user will see this as a mistake in my opinion so a UX fail. Or is this something that's unfixable?

[brianteeman]

Yes it is a bug - i was just correcting your description of the issue

I think it is an issue even when you have one notification. I was able to reproduce it with one error message.

@Achal-Aggarwal
That JED message is very specific. It is not displayed in the same <div>, i.e. system-message-container
There is no Close button for it.

@infograf768
I can see that the message is wrapped under system-message-container only and there is a close button to close it.

If I am mistaken then I guess we should fix that message as well. It is bad user experience if as a user I click on close and message does get closed but leave empty white space for nothing.

Due to limited Ui knowledge I am not sure how to fix this, but give me few hours to see what's wrong there.

It is so weird. Below change solves the problem and I don't have any idea why.

[infograf768]

i was speaking of the jed message, not the error message. it closes fine here

Just FYI to those who didn't see the other issue regarding this. It's to do with the Javascript here: https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/blob/staging/administrator/templates/isis/js/template.js#L297

The issue come from the code in the issue above. Been a while since I properly debugged this, but it's something to do with replacing span10 with span12 (and vice versa). I fixed this by doing the markup properly, but cannot remember exactly. Enjoy :)

Looks like this has been resolved elsewhere as it can no longer be reproducced
