It is intended to use it in public areas like coffee places. Run CoinJoin in the background without compromising any information but you can still do some operation. For example, you can see the status of the CoinJoin or the shield next to your coin. Also, it is possible to enqueue.
About Send Tab: I agree with you it is hard to send in lurking wife mode but it is possible by turn off the LWM for a second and select the coin then turn it back. All other fields are small and hard to see by others and partial information leak.

The best in LWM is to hide the permanent information on the screen which is un-hideable by the user without minimizing Wasabi - like the CoinList and the Total Amount.

The user specifically requested these informations to be seen. This overrides the the Lurking Wife Mode hiding.

In Lurking Wife Mode the wallet should still be usable.

I am not sure how can one really use the wallet to send transactions if Lurking Wife Mode is enabled.
For example if I want to send bitcoin how can I determine which coin to select if the label is hidden?

I thought I had found a bug for 1.1.10, but apparently it has already been reported here. I add myself by sharing my thoughts:

Lurking Wife Mode does not cover important infos during the detailed view of a UTXO (we should hide labels that are marked with red
Lurking Wife Mode
Lurking Wife Mode 2

Same for Broadcast Transaction tab:
lurking-not-working-on-broadcaster

I agree with @yahiheb and @RiccardoMasutti that LVM should be more inclusive and cover for example also the QR or dropdown menu.
Both get 1 point.

@MaxHillebrand For the record, this is an issue from September, in fact this is an issue from much earlier. So I'd suggest not to rehash old arguments.
