Behaviour

  • Stays at the top while the page scrolls.
  • Back returns to the previous screen; Close leaves the form.
  • A long title cuts off with "…" on one line; it never wraps.
  • A screen-wide choice, such as the site, sits on the right of the top bar as the site name with a chevron. Tapping it opens the choices as a bottom sheet with filled radios; choosing one reloads the screen for that site.
