There's basically nothing we can do about this in Oxide - as Olivier has pointed out, this is a website bug and is specific to the desktop version of Google Plus. Oxide correctly changes the viewport height after the location bar changes position, otherwise elements fixed to the bottom of the viewport would be off the screen when the location bar is shown.
It doesn't happen on Chrome/Android because the location bar in Chrome's tablet UI doesn't hide. That's probably the only way we'd be able to prevent this in Ubuntu. ** Changed in: oxide Status: New => Invalid ** Also affects: ubuntu-ux Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to webbrowser-app in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1575191 Title: plus.google.com re-layouts horizontally when the top bar shows/hides Status in Canonical System Image: Confirmed Status in Oxide: Invalid Status in Ubuntu UX: New Status in webbrowser-app package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Some sites have a menu bar at the top, which appears or disappears depending if you scroll up or down... the presence or absence of this bar causes the browser app to change it's scaling, and this means that scrolling up/down while browsing results in the device continually re- rendering as it re-scales the page...
