App

Thunderbird for Android

App version

8.0

Where did you get the app from?

Google Play

Android version

8.0.0

Device model

Asus Zenphone 3 Zoom (ZE553KL)

Steps to reproduce

  1. Install app for the first time or clear app data
  2. Open Thunderbird
  3. Try scrolling?

I was suggested to check my font and accessibility settings, and they're all still the default.

Expected behavior

This is my opinion, but I would expect no content (text, in this case) to be going beyond any screen edge on the very first screen of an app, especially with visible clipping. I feel that scrolling should not be a thing, here.

No functionality is affected, this a purely esthetical matter. If this isn't a real issue, feel free to close it.

Actual behavior

The bottom text ("Developed by a dedicated team at MZLA...") is slightly clipped and, together with the padding below, makes it so you can scroll up and down on the first screen, even though it's practically useless. Style points may be awarded for triggering the scroll-limit animations.

I tested the most recent beta on the Play Store (8.0b5) to see if it was any different. Instead of clipping and slightly overflowing, the text is buried beyond the bottom of the screen and unnoticeable unless the user scrolls down on their own initiative.

That seems wrong, but in a different sense. I don't know whether this change was intentional or not, given that the text is different (Thunderbird vs. Thunderbird Beta).
