Bug description:
  Currently when you open the address book, dialer app, clock app etc,
  the bottom edge hint is visible and shows what the action is. This
  hint is hidden after a few seconds. This makes it difficult for the
  user to understand what the bottom edge does if he didn't read the
  bottom edge text in time.

  In the clock app design at
  https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1Kkl7xT8BYo9mT8i3IXh6rPrDlNg6cBxTajahlRYIGlI/edit#slide=id.g18587dd40_029
  (Slide 4), the bottom edge text is supposed to show the time to the
  next alarm. By hiding this hint, it renders that text useless since it
  is hidden.

  I propose the following change,
  - Follow the same bottom edge behaviour as the Unity 8 Dash which always shows the bottom edge hint. The hint is hidden only when the user scrolls up. On scrolling down it is shown immediately.
