The new Gmail UI handles attachments differently: when you receive an email with an attachment, a summary of the attachment gets put in underneath the title of the email.
The problem with this is that this is done dynamically on load, and there's a delay. So you can be scrolling through old emails, and then suddenly where everything is on the screen changes because new content finished loading in the middle of what you were looking at.
Plus it makes the height of emails inconsistent, which is significantly harder to parse visually.
It's kind of a small thing, but it honestly should not have passed UI review processes at all. Don't fucking load new content in the middle of what people are interacting with. It's 101 level stuff here.
Edit: apparently there's a setting for "Default", "Comfortable", or "Compact", and that email account was on "Default" but should've been on "Compact", which is way better.
