There are inconsistent results when using the Title Bar Action for Title and/or Icon.

I understand the desire for things to change between mobile and desktop layout, but there are inconsistencies with how the Title and/or Icons are applied.

If I attempt to show an action WITHOUT a Title, but with an Icon, there is a message stating that the icon needs to be very clear, but then the button disappears entirely.

However, if I use something like “Add” as the title, then only the icon shows and the Title doesn’t.

Then if you do include a Title, it goes to three dots

It looks like there might be some inconsistencies in your screenshots. Please double-check that you’re editing the correct button. On mobile, buttons that are 2+ layers deep appear behind the three dots.

I am positive I am editing the correct button.

Screenshot 1: The arrow is pointing to what SHOULD be a button (Button 2) with a “+” icon, but it doesn’t show at all because not Title is supplied. (Button 1 ‘RDG’ showing Title and Icon)

Screenshot 2: If I use “Add” as the Title, it automatically drops it off and ONLY show the Icon (Button 1 to show that Add drops off, Button 2 still not visible with no title)

Screenshot 3: If I use something else like “New” for the Title then it shows dots, but the button is visible. (Button 1 with Add as Title, and button 2 as New, but both show in some way)

I believe this is a bug.

If I recall right, this is the way it has always been. They might have considered that there’s not enough space to include the title as well on mobile.

This is when this scenario happens.
