Unfortunately a tap too close to the edge seems to be detected as a
swipe gesture.

I did manage to activate the links on the example page provided in the
description after a few attempts, although I must admit I had a hard
time achieving it.

Even though this is not a proper fix, one way around the problem is to
pinch on the page to zoom in, thus making the links larger, and then
scroll to the bottom to tap them.

** Summary changed:

- Cannot tap links on very bottom of webpage
+ Hard to tap links at the very bottom of webpage

** Changed in: webbrowser-app (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Confirmed

** Changed in: webbrowser-app (Ubuntu)

Title:
  Hard to tap links at the very bottom of webpage

Status in webbrowser-app package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  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).
