Stephanie Wilson has made a note to fix the examples of checkboxes vs.
switches in the design guidelines. <https://design.ubuntu.com/apps
/building-blocks/selection>

Using a "Restore previous session at startup" setting for "throwaway
sessions" is awkward in several ways: it's not at all obvious that
that's what it's for; either it doesn't clear your history+cookies,
therefore satisfying only part of the use case, or it's not obvious that
it does clear them; it doesn't let you have throwaway tabs and
persistent tabs open at the same time; and having it as a setting is
optimized for people who always or never use the browser that way, and
not for people who *sometimes* use the browser that way. All those
issues could be resolved by replacing it with a private/incognito area
with its own set of tabs, cookies, and history that expires when you
close its last tab. But that's a matter for another bug report.

The remaining toolkit issue for this bug report is switching labels to
wrap their text by default, ellipsizing it only if the app specifically
requests it. This might require changes in System Settings Wi-Fi and
Bluetooth screens.

  [browser] Setting labels ellipsized on phone screen in portrait
  orientation

Bug description:
  As shown on the attached screenshot, the rows #2 and #3 of the settings screen have a text that doesn't fit on the screen.
  The only way to see what these options mean is to switch the phone to landscape orientation.

  A different UI component should be used for these two options, one
  that allows the user to see the full text of what he's enabling or
  disabling.
