Public bug reported:

When touching the very bottom of the window, the webbrowser-app brings
up the new-tab bottom-of-screen panel.  This means that if a webpage has
links on the very bottom of the page, it is impossible to click them.

Prior to r24, it was possible to deal with this by rotating to
horizontal view, and tapping the link, since "bottom of the screen" was
defined on one screen edge only.  However, since r24 brings full shell
rotation, this is no longer the case.

Example webpage where this affects the ability to navigate:
http://forum.dlang.org/thread/mnp350$7ql$2@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (scroll down
to the bottom for the « First   ‹ Prev | Next ›   Last » links, these
are now impossible to use).
