The UITK’s BottomEdgeHint component instantiates a SwipeArea. I’ve done
some preliminary work in the browser to start using SwipeArea,
unfortunately this is blocked by an oxide bug: bug #1459362. Until this
is fixed, we would need to do a custom implementation in the browser.

Note that making the bottom edge hint clickable means that web content
below it cannot be clicked. This is not a concern for pages that can be
scrolled (as scrolling down the page will hide the hint), but it is a
problem with pages that fit entirely in the viewport, because the hint
will never auto-hide (but this behaviour could be changed).

Also note that the current implementation of BottomEdgeHint in the UITK
supposedly reacts on mouse connection/removal, but in practice this code
is not wired up.

Title:
  bottom edge tab selector doesn't work with mouse

Status in Canonical System Image:
  Confirmed
Status in canonical-pocket-desktop:
  Confirmed
Status in webbrowser-app package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

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.
