This looks very similar to the menu we had before the last update.

Don’t these already cause confusion for users on mobile? (For example, when people fail to [find the admin button on user profiles](https://meta.discourse.org/t/admin-button-on-user-page-is-obscured-on-mobile/315330)). If the last icon was hidden like that, it will be very difficult to find, for example, the logout button.
