I had similar lack of success when tweaking the override in ua-
overrides-mobile.js

Then I removed the override and starting tweaking the default UA string
just to see if it had any effect in UserAgent02.qml.

This string caused better formatting of mail.google.com and looked
similar to Android. I tested using the browser and opening
mail.google.com - did not try the webapp as I don't know if that has
it's own override.

readonly property string _template: "Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Ubuntu %1%2%3)
AppleWebKit/%4 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/%5 %6Safari/%7%8"

Maybe the override mechanism is not working correctly?

Only issue I observed with this UA String is that double tapping
spacebar to insert period and autocaps no longer work when
composing/replying to message.

Title:
  reply to message in gmail shows garbled reply view

Status in Canonical System Image:
  Confirmed
Status in webbrowser-app package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  try to reply to a message in gmail webapp
  I frequently see these issues:
  1) the message you are replying too is inlined, but in an ugly fashion. It has >> characters but they don't always line up and the message looks garbled, especially if the message had an image in it, you see binary data

  2)quite often, but not always, the reply view is not scrolled to the
  top so you don't see where your cursor is. Once you start typing then
  the view is scrollled.

  We should behave like Chrome for Android. For issue 1) they show a the
  message inlined next to a vertical divider which makes it look quite
  clean. For issue 2) this never occurs on Android.

  You can test with this UA String as an override:
  Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 4.0.4; Galaxy Nexus Build/IMM76B) AppleWebKit/535.19 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/18.0.1025.133 Mobile Safari/535.19

  in the file /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/qt5/qml/Ubuntu/Web/ua-
  overrides-mobile.js
