[Bug 1357945] Re: [bottom edge] Current bottom edge hint timeout makes it difficult to read the bottom edge action

 

** Description changed:

  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.
+ -- Solution --
+ - Hint tab is always displayed by default
+ - When interacting with the content on screen it collapses (e.g. dialler - typing numbers, address book, clock - scrolling)
+ - When user stops interacting, it reappears after 5 seconds
