New release appears to have introduced bug in "google.maps.event.trigger(map, 'resize')"

[Peter Lawless]

I have posted 2 examples of triggering a resize event.

 

http://www.lawless.info/gmaps/resize.html

 

The first one simply has a button to resize the map and StreetView is not enabled.  This works fine.

 

http://www.lawless.info/gmaps/resize_StreetView.html

 

The second example differs only in that the map has “ streetViewControl: true “ set in the options.  Without even looking at StreetView resizing the map causes the following error

 

Error: e is null

Source File: http://maps.gstatic.com/intl/en_gb/mapfiles/api-3/2/1/main.js

Line: 67

 

This code, which was built into my application development, was working on Sunday.

 

Can those who know tell me is this a real bug which should be reported or am I doing something stupid?

 

Thanks

yeah I see the bug, but only on Firefox, and the bug goes away when
you load the previous version using v=3.1

the bug seems to be a caught exception, caused when the map window is
so small and it can't fit the streetviewcontrol man and zoomcontrol
onto the map.

After the error the zoomcontrol disappears altogether when you make
the map large again.

Also if you make the "small" map 400x400 instead of 200x200 then the
bug disappears.

Thanks William

I just noticed the problem was Firefox only!

Will try some code to switch the control types rather than relying of default behaviour and see if the problem goes away.

With the code changed to include 

             navigationControl: true,

             navigationControlOptions: {

   style: google.maps.NavigationControlStyle.SMALL

 },

     mapTypeControl: true,

     mapTypeControlOptions: {

           style: google.maps.MapTypeControlStyle.DROPDOWN_MENU

          },

in the map options the problem with Firefox goes away when reducing to 200x200.  However when I attempt to dynamically switch the control types as part of the map resize routine it re-appears.  

Is there anyway to check when the resize event is complete so I can switch the control options on a map which is fully resized?

Thanks

maybe an event listener for the "idle" event but the workaround is
getting complicated so might be best just to use version 3.1 until the
problem is fixed by Google.

google.maps.event.addListener(map, 'idle', function() {
if (big) {
...
}
});

I have not specifically reported the 'bug' to Google should I do so?

yeah it would be a good idea to report the bug with your example using
the issue tracker:
