Yep, known issue on the Editing team & design's radar. Just not something
we're tackling as part of the MVP for releasing VE to stable on tablets.
I'm a little out of the loop since I was out for a few days, but I believe
Trevor's forthcoming (or already arrived?) window rewrite may impact this area, so we
need to first see how the new inspector/toolbar implementation looks & then go from
there.

Maryana,
Have you and design already had a conversation about this? I'm eager
to get Brion's question answered.

I was skimming recent bug reports and noticed this:

On an iPad in landscape mode, there's *very* little vertical room between
the VE toolbar and the top of the on-screen keyboard -- only about 220px of
height -- and the references dropdown menu is too tall and partly disappears
behind the keyboard. (Dismissing the keyboard kills focus and hides the
menu; scrolling doesn't move the toolbar and menu because they're fixed to
the viewport.)
There is however a lot of horizontal space... I notice that text selection
menus on mobile/tablet tend to be laid out horizontally: on iOS they're a
popup horizontal segmented button bar; on Android you get a
context-sensitive action-bar variant at the top of the screen.
Would a horizontally-focused menu design, maybe more like a second toolbar,
work better here?
