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

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

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.
