This seems like a minor issue, becuase the user can still view all the emails and find the search bar.

[Andrew Sutherland [:asuth] (he/him)]

I'm confused by comment 0 as to which of the following is the problem:

A) The search box should always be visible when entering a folder.

B) The search box does not need to always be visible, but the scroll bar should appear and then fade out to make it clear that scrolling is an option.


The current behaviour (the opposite of A) is intentional per UX design.  The fact that we show it when there aren't that many messages seems like a bug in our implementation.

And testing on b2g-desktop right now, it seems like 'B' is already true.  If it has ceased to be true I think that's a platform regression or decision which supersedes our own.

The video seems to indicate what is the actual UX guidance we have had for email so far: explicitly to hide the search bar when in a default view for a folder.

So I am going to close this bug out as working as designed, and so the pull request is not needed.

If the reporter wishes to discuss it more, it is best to ni? Juwei, since she handles the UX for email, and any changes to this would need UX signoff.
