Hello,

do you mean 1.9.0-315 or 1.9.0-351?

How is your Sytem from Beta to stable Google?
Is everything <351 in the Version 351?
Are the changes in 348 in  this Version...?

Thank you for clarifying,

Thomas

Hello,

I am sorry, my mistake, I mean 1.9.0-351. Yes, the changes from 1.9.0-348 are included in this version.

Does this version remove the ability to reflow on resizing?

If so, why is it not mentioned in the release notes?

Yes.

Because if we do mention it, then everyone and his brother will immediately complain to support, rate the app 1-star, etc.

Are there going to be any complains without us mentioning? How many people will actually notice?

We'll know soon enough, but let's not nudge people towards complaining.

Re: - the notification icon for individual notifications (the first 5 ones) should be a single (not a double) icon

Um, no.

Re: - Color of grouped notifications ("10 more...") should be orange (account color in the screenshot) - and not like it's displayed currently

Thanks, fixed (on the "next" version branch).

It is better as it is now than before. As a user, I prefer the way it zooms now without changing the message structure/view
No, it is emphatically not better. It may be better for YOU, but you cannot generalise that.

"Let's remove some functionality from our paid-for application, but we won't tell anybody and hope that they don't notice"

That's a disingenuous (not to say dishonest) thing to do. Is this how MobiSystems do business???

Hello,

on my Galaxy S7 I never see the floating context bar?
Not in portrait, not in landscape.
Android 6.0.1

Thank you very much,
Thomas

I certainly hope the author realizes deletion of features is not the right way to do this.  Give users the option to opt into the new method or keep the old.  More advanced users know to backup an app (titaniumbackup) before accepting updates.  I certainly do this.  Release change loge are usually incomplete - just look at google apps - bug fixes and performance improvements.  What does this really mean....

The floating bar appears when selecting a message in Message list.
To enable it, app settings - Look and feel (there's a setting to tick)

I set the option. I didn't know that it is only by a selected mail in message list. I thougt in message view, too.

Thank you very much,
Thomas

I've been trying to search the forum for the details on this change.  Does this mean that if you resize the message content with two-finger pinching it will not reformat the text so that it re-flows within the new area dimensions?  And that you may now need to horizontally scroll to view text that did not re-flow?

Question answered - update was just installed.  My fears were confirmed.  I can't imagine why AM would be changed to work this way.  Too bad.

Unbelievable! How can the development team justify removal of an essential feature - then opt not to include that detail in test builds or the change log! This will prompt a Google Play review. Not 1-star but certainly strong words for this (apparent knowing) omission.

Why not add an option to enable/disable reflow?
