Good find - cant believe no one has said anything before.

The select boxes all have "hidden-phone"

Personally I would prefer to remove the buttons that can't work without the select but I am pretty sure the majority wold chose to put the select boxes back

@brianteeman Thank you
As an end user, I would suggest, Adding 'select boxes' will be the right solution instead of removing the buttons, because we should provide the facility to our end users to perform the action like edit/delete/published/unpublished etc.

A nice UX/UI improvement (a lot more simplified) in list views (e.g.: articles) would be the following:
1. Four buttons in toolbar: New, Multiple, Options, Help where multiple will be a dropdown with all the available options: publish, unpublish, feature, unfeature, archive, checkin, batch, trash. Similar to the down arrow in status column
2. In status column add the missing button on the down arrow (right now only trash and archive are there) checkin
Edit button is totally useless in multiple selection and for selecting just one item and then click on edit seems at least stupid to me!

It is to be noted that the select boxes don't show in ALL managers at that size.
imho, they should at least show in "Small tablet portrait (600x800)" where we have enough real estate.

Honestly, backend is unusable at lower sizes...

I disagree about it being unusable - I use it daily.

The issue correctly identified is that we have toolbar buttons in the admin
that cannot be used because the select boxes have a class "hidden-phone"

I did a test PR locally to remove that class and everything worked for me
and we didnt lose too much real estate.

I will do a full PR for ALL the manager views later today for testing

Sorry dont have the time to do a PR as I'm busy with the en-GB stuff

This is a POC screenshot

Alternative option showing the select box but hiding hits - this option results in no reduction in space for the title

Please see and TEST #5629

I wanted to retest this issue for which I have updated the package from here:http://developer.joomla.org/cms-packages/ [7th jan 2015]
But still, I am not seeing the 'select boxes'
Is it not fixed in current joomla 3.4 dev package?
