708769 - Mobile UI taking too much real estate when filling in text boxes...landscape

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Core :: General, defect)

Description

[Bret Reckard]

Attachment: Screenshot URL vs Autocomplete

IMHO - The mobile UI takes up too much real estate in landscape mode when entering text.  Between the URL bar and the Auto-Complete area on the native keyboard, you don't have any room to see what you are typing.

I think it would make more sense to have the URL bar roll off the screen when a text box is selected.  This way you get at least a sliver of web UI to work with :).

Most awesome screenshot attached.
