Scrolling of icons in Toolbar

[Tim Peeters]

Currently, when the icons do not all fit in the toolbar, an overflow button is shown that shows an overflow popover/panel when clicked. This needs to be replaced by icon scrolling instead.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Femma will check that the requirements are consistent and up-to-date.

Attached is a screenshot of how the toolbar currently looks when there are too many icons to fit. On the right-hand side it shows an overflow button, and tapping that reveals the overflow panel with the remaining actions.

Hi Tim, could you point me to exactly where in the spec did it say that the toolbar should have an overflow? I'm currently considering the scrolling vs overflow options.

[Femma (femma)]

I've had a look through the spec and here it shows scrolling in the toolbar: https://docs.google.com/document/edit?hgd=1&id=1F-zD6CF8YFfA-nAtpdRniCqwUNJhSDJVFrRO76A1M-Q#heading=h.w16v0yn510iy is this not what you need?

  [ Tim Peeters ]
  * Toolbar visual refresh to scroll the icons instead of using an overflow

  [ Sergio Cazzolato ]
  * This change is done to remove the dependencies with upstart in the tests.
    To start apps with env vars is gonna be used the launch_test_application
    method provided by autopilot in its test base class which is a wrapper for
    the ubuntu-app-launch tools (API). This change removes all the dependencies
    with upstart, so all the projects which are using the initctl api and
    fixtures will be impacted. An update in the documentation or in the blog is
    gonna be done also to communicate this change to the developers.

  [ Christian Dywan ]

    Fixes LP: #1573118, LP: #1587431, LP: #1647415

  [ Albert Astals Cid ]
  * Labs is at 1.0.
  * You can't save the focus after the popup/dialog has been created, at that
    stage the dialog has focus already, you need to do it before creating it.
