I think it is because of mobiles. The developers try to fit things on the small real estate, and so make things deeper. It's the problem with having the same interface for desktops, laptops, and mobiles. They are trying to build a single interface that can be used on all platforms versus having an interface optimized for each platform, for people who switch between platforms often. I presume they think the learning curve for multiple platform interfaces is more costly than the diminished user interface on larger screens. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
