After discussion with Bill, James and Benjamin, the proposed solution is this:
- short term fix for OTA 9.5: in narrow layout, when mouse is connected, the bottom edge hint turns into a bottom edge bar that is clickable, thus reducing the height of the webview - longer term fix (OTA 10 or later): in narrow layout, when mouse is connected, the bottom edge hint is hidden and a new button is added to the chrome (between the address bar and the drawer menu) to open the tabs view -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to webbrowser-app in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1534239 Title: bottom edge tab selector doesn't work with mouse Status in Canonical System Image: In Progress Status in canonical-pocket-desktop: In Progress Status in Ubuntu UX: New Status in webbrowser-app package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: if you connect a mouse and the browser is in single column mode, there is no way to interact with the bottom edge to view/switch to other tabs. I expected to be able to click on the hint to open it, or at least be able to click and drag with mouse but neither succeeded. We should look at using the BottomEdgeHint component in the sdk as that correctly deals with handle mouse events and making the hint visible when a mouse is connected to see if that could be a possibility.
