'back' menu in updates hides update policy widget

[Selene ToyKeeper]

After entering the 'Updates' app, there is a menu bar shown at the bottom of the screen with a 'back' button in it. This is great, but it obscures the widget used to change the update policy (which is the only configurable setting here). Plenty of screen space is available higher on the screen, but the app uses the very bottom for the only setting, so it may appear as if nothing is configurable.

This was last seen on image 228, but it has been this way for at least the past few dozen images.

Perhaps the setting is intentionally hidden to discourage users from turning off automatic updates? If not, it should probably be moved to a more visible spot.

After dismissing the menu, the update policy shows up as in this image.

Thanks, that's an ui-toolkit issue though, we use a normal page and the toolbar widget works this way.

Note that the bar is displayed only for some seconds, then you have access to the setting.
The design is also changing and the new version might resolve the issue you are pointing out

I don't think this is a toolkit issue. This will be fixed when "Back" moves from the toolbar to the header, because that means this screen will no longer have a toolbar.

Thanks to Sebastien for correcting me: apparently the Back button is provided by the Page widget.

So, please consider this as a request to move the Page widget's Back button from the toolbar to the leftmost slot of the new Header, as shown for example in <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Networking#apn-mobile>.

This is fixed, and has been for a while -- sometime before Utopic image 140.
