File a bug report in Phabricator about Phabricator.

I was uploading an image for a task using my mobile browser. The upload failed as the connection was unstable and hence I got an error message. The error message took up the whole screen as it was showing a lot of content that doesn't make up much meaning for the user. Moreover it didn't go off even after a few minutes. Please change the way how error messages are displayed in Phabricator to something that's more meaningful and that doesn't annoy the user.

Which mobile browser and which operating system is this problem about?

I guess this is not specific to any browser or operating system. It's a problem with the mobile web client of Phabricator. Anyways I got the error when I was uploading a file using Firefox on Android 4.2.2

What is the "mobile web client of Phabricator"? Do you just mean "on the website phabricator.wikimedia.org in my browser" or is something else involved? If this is reproducible it's probably worth a bug report in Phabricator against the "Phabricator" project.

Yes, I do mean "on the website phabricator.wikimedia.org in my browser". It's easily reproducible, if you can make the upload fail, by disconnecting from the network in the middle of the upload for example. I got the error as my connection was unstable (as our area's network coverage is not so good) , and hence meet with the situation often.

In that case, a bug report is very welcome: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/task/edit/form/1/?projects=Phabricator

Have they fixed this already? I seem to be getting a better error message when I tried to reproduce this now. See the screen shot in the link below.

No software changes in Wikimedia's installation of Phabricator in the last hours. :)

That's interesting. Anyways as I am unable to reproduce it now, I would file a bug report when I am able to see it again. (I guess that's not going to happen :) )
