881837 - Change - Snapped urlbar is not long enough and default text gets cut off

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox for Metro Graveyard :: App Bar, defect, P3)

Description

[Brian R. Bondy [:bbondy]]

Attachment: Snap problems

See attached image for a visual explanation.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Put Firefox into snapped view.
2. Bring up the URL bar via Windows + Z or right click

Expected results:
a) The URL bar fills out most of the available space
b) The default text in the URL bar says "Enter Search o"

Actual results: 
a') The URL bar fills out just over half of the available space
b') I think just remove the default overlay text when in snapped view. 


Note:
There seems to be a hidden refresh button, I notice when I click on the empty space it reloads the page. Maybe this is causing the empty space. If that is the case and we want a reload button, please show the reload button instead of making the URL bar longer.

I don't have a new image but there's extra space we aren't using just to the right of the back button. And when you have a back and forward button you have hardly no space at all to enter a URL.  Maybe it's too much padding or margin on those buttons.

I'm working on this. I have a spec from Stephen and will be working out details with Yuan.
