Tabs at the bottom (invisible on windows) - release blocker #306

Closed brianteeman closed 5 years ago

brianteeman commented 5 years ago

Using windows 10 the toolbar at the bottom is set to either fixed display or automatically hidden.

When it is set to fixed display then the new tab bar is visible

When it is set to automatically hidden then the new tab bar is visible

UNLESS there is a notification on the toolbar which forces it open. This is very common (for me at least) and I often dont check that notification until later in the day. But look what happens to the tab bar now

Even if you know that the tab bar exists it is never possible to scroll to it

That's out of scope of any website because it's outside the Webbrowser and can't be fixed.

Which is why havIng critical parts of the ui completely obscured is a release blocker

HLeithner commented 5 years ago

why are you hiding the program you want to use? The same "problem" (btw. that's intended behavior by Microsoft) is true for every other Software you use.

You can say the same if you open another window lay it over your browser and says I can't see the webpage it's your fault.

My desktop right now. No idea which of those apps is causing the bar to stay open. Dont care and neither should I. I will get to it when I get to it. Right now I just want to create content. I wouldnt even know there was anything behind that blue bar. I dont even know that it is above anything important as no other app that i have open has critical elements of the ui obscured

The please fix your taskbar or don't use fullscreen. Problem solved.

How would someone know that there is something hidden behind the bar!!!

HLeithner commented 5 years ago

But your are right I have the same problem.

Personally never a fan of this idea of moving tabs to the footer. It's a common idea for touch screen devices as it gives easy access to the thumb finger, for a desktop UI however, the footer is usually reserved for either the least used actions or in the odd occasion for the last used action (eg. save, close etc.). Tabs, in my opinion, is neither.

It makes sense on mobile but not on desktop
