Bug Description

Open a presentation with docviewer and notice the bottom edge swipe tab obscures the buttons for previous/next slide.

See screenshot.

Need design input to figure where these controls might be better placed.

UX Comment:
Just tested Stefano's solution out on device and it works very nicely.

Heya guys,

I've already committed a fix for this in one of the development branch[1] we have to merge.

I've attached a screenshot with the implemented solution. Let me know if it looks okay or it needs some further change.

Sorry, I forgot to specify what the changes are about:

* Removed the bottom edge and the panel with the buttons
* Added a list view (which can not be hidden) with an horizontal orientation, which show a thumbnail and the number of slide.
   The height of the list view is 12gu.
* On wider screen (width > 120gu), the list view is replaced by the left sidebar as we've already seen in the earlier implementations of the LibreOffice viewer.

That looks excellent! Nice work!

This is separate from a 'full screen' option, right?

Yes, this is not related to the 'full screen' mode.

The 'full screen' mode will probably be provided through a different Ubuntu.Page, which will include a Image component which fills the whole page and re-uses the code logic of the LibreOffice thumbnailer.

That way we don't have to handle the Ubuntu.Layouts stuff and anything else (e.g. unneccessary Flickables, zooming, page headers, and so on).

Most part of the code is already there, since basically all we have to do is to show bigger thumbnails. We probably still need to shape some exceptions that we could meet when running that code in a different scenario, and to think how to provide touch/mouse controls in 'full screen' mode.
