Bug Description
try to reply to a message in gmail webapp
I frequently see these issues:
1) the message you are replying too is inlined, but in an ugly fashion. It has >> characters but they don't always line up and the message looks garbled, especially if the message had an image in it, you see binary data
2)quite often, but not always, the reply view is not scrolled to the top so you don't see where your cursor is. Once you start typing then the view is scrollled.
We should behave like Chrome for Android. For issue 1) they show a the message inlined next to a vertical divider which makes it look quite clean. For issue 2) this never occurs on Android.
You can test with this UA String as an override:
Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 4.0.4; Galaxy Nexus Build/IMM76B) AppleWebKit/535.19 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/
in the file /usr/lib/

I can confirm both issues, and that using the suggested chrome on android UA string override fixes them.
We need a detailed test plan to validate a possible UA override change and be confident that this won’t introduce regressions.
