The bug originally reported here is fixed I believe. With
50ca5af7e0ec460f9f004a3660efa10bb1dd8cb1 the UrlNavigator is no longer moved
into the toolbar automatically by upgrading. So the UrlNavigator will then
still be visible where it was previously even if users have the toolbar hidden.

About the corner case of what to do when hiding the toolbar when it contains
the UrlNavigator:
There are two ways to think about this imho:
- A UrlNavigator should always be visible. So hiding the toolbar and therefore
hiding the UrlNavigator is a bug. With that logic it should pop up below the
tab bar.
- A user that hides the toolbar really does want to have all vertical space
they can get. Having the UrlNavigator appear in that case would counteract
exactly what the user is trying to do. (This is how it is currently.)

I think the current approach makes more sense. It doesn't assume what a user
wants to do. A bonus of the current approach is that users can have either a
configuration with a hidden toolbar and a visible UrlNavigator or one with a
hidden toolbar but an invisible UrlNavigator.
If we were to decide that an UrlNavigator always needs to be visible, hiding
both becomes impossible and maybe a user wants to do exactly that. Anyways I
don't think we have to surprise users with a UrlNavigator appearing elsewhere
when the toolbar is hidden.
