Bug Description

saucy-8 image
Galaxy Nexus
webbrowser-app 0.20daily13.06.12-0ubuntu1

user-agent is not getting set correctly. It's falling through to the case where it doesn't get set at all in src/Ubuntu/Browser/UbuntuWebView.qml

 experimental.userAgent: {
        // FIXME: using iOS 5.0’s iPhone/iPad user-agent strings
        // (source: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7825873/what-is-the-ios-5-0-user-agent-string),
        // this should be changed to a more neutral user-agent in the
        // future as we don’t want websites to recommend installing
        // their iPhone/iPad apps.
        if (formFactor === formFactor.phone) {
            return "Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; CPU iPhone OS 5_0 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/534.46 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.1 Mobile/9A334 Safari/7534.48.3"
        } else if (formFactor === formFactor.tablet) {
            return "Mozilla/5.0 (iPad; CPU OS 5_0 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/534.46 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.1 Mobile/9A334 Safari/7534.48.3"
        } else {
            return ""
        }
    }

Haven't debugged further, but causing website to render incorrectly.

I can reliably reproduce the issue.
It appears to be a regression introduced by the new tabs functionality, where the webview was extracted into a separate UbuntuWebView component.

  [ Olivier Tilloy ]
  * Fix the conditional user-agent string based on form factor. (LP:
    #1190409)
  * Hide the forward button if there’s not enough screen real estate, as
    per design request. The visibility of chrome buttons now depends on
    the available width, regardless of orientation or form factor.
