[Bug 1465566] Re: Needs a refresh button, and address bar keeps disappearing

 

I am running it on the BQ Aquarius E4.5 with all latest updates. I don't know the browser version, where would I find that? It's not listed in Ubuntu Store (or else hard to find there).
There should be an option in Settings to have address bar stay visible at all times. I know it works on other browsers on other OSes the same way, where it hides, and it is really annoying there as well. Just because Google does it a certain way does not mean that Ubuntu has to copy them. Ubuntu should be different and an OS that does things better and with more user customisability, it is open source.
As for the refresh button, hiding it behind the favicon is bad design. It should be visible easily -- maybe add it to the drop down menu, or have a swipe that refreshes as in other apps -- swiping down from near the top of the web page. I am surprised that was not implemented.

Title:
  Needs a refresh button, and address bar keeps disappearing

Status in webbrowser-app package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  The web browser needs a refresh button, sometimes websites need to be refreshed. I would expect either a refresh button or dragging down from the top to refresh the page but that does nothing.
  Also, the address bar keeps disappearing. If I scroll most of the way down a page and want to go back to address bar, it's a long way to scroll up before it appears again. Need an option to keep it visible at all times. Sometimes it appears then disappears when scrolling. Just leaving it fixed and always there would work so much better.
