Notes from meeting with Helene:

Suggestion should follow implied movement from omnibox -- from a few pixels below, move up, with the same motion curve & timing as the omnibox.

(Android should also do this, if it looks like same).

Helene, to confirm, do you think the suggestion should appear immediately upon tapping the omnibox in the middle of the page and move up while being attached to it?

To clarify:

Right now, the omnibox animates up, then the suggestion text appears, and moves down.

Ideally, the omnibox animates up, then the suggestion text appears, and move up.

Re: Comment 3
Yes, the suggestion should appear immediately as it does currently, with the only adjustment being the position moving upward. Currently it moves downwards. The motion curve and timing should be preserved

Re: comment 6
Yes, the suggestion text should follow the momentum of the omnibox - the omnibox may not be literally moving but its implied motion is visualized in this attached video

We'll see what it takes to fix this if/when we turn on zero suggest for iOS, as that will dramatically increase the number of people who see the current imperfect motion.

I think inverting the cell label animate-in direction like Hélène suggests would definitely help and be nice polish, but I don't think it is actually the culprit to the funkiness Alex mentions.

Assuming I'm seeing what everyone else is, what makes things feel broken here is the fact the *non-NTP* Omnibox unfocused -> focused state animation is playing out. We already have a working animation for the NTP when there is no completions view (no clipboard item) and we need to adjust that to work with the optionally visible completion view (which should probably fade-in and animate up, following the Omnibox). See the attached videos to better understand what I'm talking about.

Fixing this should make the animation feel much less funky and at that point, we can discuss if Hélène's suggested improvements are needed.

Pete, please confirm that it's fixed now: In UI Refresh, we open the popup after the NTP animation is complete. I think it looks okay now.
