+Olivier Tilloy Never hiding it in desktop mode should be very obvious... but this is something of a middle ground where it's being used in tablet mode. The screen is large enough to switch into the tabbed mode, but it's still using a touch interface on a small screen... I'm not sure what the best thing to do there is, I certainly enjoy the "full browser" experience on the tablet even in touch mode, so I would definitely not want to go back to the mobile interface...
Short of some other solution which does not force the viewport to change (like bringing in the url bar over the top of the rendered HTML, rather than changing the size of the viewport)... I can't see much other option, I think google does leave the URL bar there on android in this context. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to webbrowser-app in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1575191 Title: plus.google.com re-layouts horizontally when the top bar shows/hides Status in Canonical System Image: Confirmed Status in Oxide: Invalid Status in Ubuntu UX: New Status in webbrowser-app package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Some sites have a menu bar at the top, which appears or disappears depending if you scroll up or down... the presence or absence of this bar causes the browser app to change it's scaling, and this means that scrolling up/down while browsing results in the device continually re- rendering as it re-scales the page...
