RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1822991

People

(Reporter: tim, Unassigned)

Details

Steps to reproduce:

Upgraded to 115.2.1

Actual results:

Toolbar moved above Menu bar.
This happened on both Debian/KDE and Windows. This makes the layout unfamiliar and jarring to users of both these OS where the convention is the opposite.

Expected results:

Toolbar should have remained below the Menu Bar following the convention used by both these OS. I understand that this change has been made to remove the necessity to support layouts for different OS, but the result is that the current design now feels incongruent and unfamiliar in all of them. Messing with established layout conventions is also immensely frustrating for users, especially those who are visually impaired.

Rather than dismissing this out of hand, would it be so difficult to add the few lines of widely shared css, that seem to work as a fix, to a settings option?

Yes I was aware of that question in the forum, that's where I found the few lines of css to which I referred. What I'm hoping is that "fix" by Toad-Hall can be included as an option in settings so that users who are less computer-confident can easily get the look back to what they're used to.
