I can’t reproduce the bug I mentioned above with the truncated UA override. However I can still observe the floating toolbar, which strongly suggests that it’s a consequence of our overridden UA string for mail.google.com:
Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Ubuntu 14.04 like Android 4.4) AppleWebKit/537.36 Chromium/35.0.1870.2 Mobile Safari
We could probably try and devise a UA string override for mail.google.com that would get us the exact same UI/UX as chrome on android, however from experience this is a tedious, error-prone and regression-prone process.
On the other hand I agree that the floating toolbar may get mildly annoying while reading e-mails. But that seems to be the intended behaviour when served this version of the UX.
