In my opinion, it would be better to reserve space for two actions on
the right.

The reason is that 4 actions on the header will use more than half of
the header width, and there are some app that need that space in order
to display the page title (e.g. chat name in Telegram, or document name
in docviewer-app).

Also, I'd force the two actions number even when there is no action in the left of the header.
I think about Unity scopes: "Add to favourite" and "Settings" actions should always stay in a context menu, since they are secondary actions.

I took a look at the other core apps, and there will be no problem at all with this change:
Dialer, address-book, messaging-app already use the bottom edge for the main action.

Browser, terminal-app and clock-app use a custom header.

Calculator-app doesn't have an header at all.

Calendar-app: it has a left-action and it needs to show one more action
on the right of the header ("New event"). However, it could be exposed
by a bottom-edge component, so this is not a real issue.

Telegram: similar issue as calendar-app. It shows three actions on the
right of the header, but "Compose" action could be moved on the bottom-
edge (and it would be consistent with messaging-app).

Title:
  Always reserve space for three actions in header

Status in Ubuntu UX bugs:
  New
Status in ubuntu-ui-toolkit package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Currently there is room for 3 actions directly in the header,
  including a back/cancel button or tabs button on the left side.

  So without a button on the left, there is room for 3 actions on the
  right, but when there is an action on the left, only 2 actions are
  allowed on the right side. I think this is confusing for the users
  (some times you have 3 buttons, and some times 1 normal button plus an
  overflow button with two actions in the overflow) and not really
  necessary.

  I propose to (on a phone) always reserve space for 3 actions on the
  right side in the header, even if there is an action in the left of
  the header.
