Bug Description

Going to "Online accounts" in system settings, it appears that I need to click the large plus button next to the words "Add account..." to add an account. But that button does nothing, you have to click the list of account types underneath the dropdown that says "Show accounts that integrate with..."

It's a small bit of UI strangeness that only happens when you don't have any online accounts set up, but one that had me wondering if my trackpad has picked up my click for a while.

Would it help if the "Add account..." button were greyed out while the provider's list is displayed on the right?
