hi @SoapOperaTester, thanks for reaching out. but, this is a feature, not a bug. the floating action button was hidden during scrolling for better UX. do you prefer it staying in place even during scrolling?

Hi @VishnuSanal Thank you for the quick reply.

Yes, I’d prefer to keep the ‘+’ icon visible.

Sometimes, when using the app, I scroll down the page and the ‘+’ icon disappears, requiring me to scroll up to make it reappear. This interrupts the workflow and could be improved by keeping the icon accessible at all times.

we can't default to this behaviour. would probably need to add a preference item. but, that would be too much fine grained control. let's keep this open for other users, and developers to vouch in.

I would follow the material design recommendations on this. Its now recommending we don't hide on scroll.
We would need to add space at the end of the lists for the button not to hide the last item.
