Bug Description

STEPS:
1. On frieza flash the lastest rc-proposed image
2. Open the browser
3. Open several tabs
4. Now connect a bluetooth keyboard
5. With windowed mode now enabled try and switch tabs

EXPECTED:
I expected to be able to access all the tabs

ACTUAL:
The tabs are in mobile mode due to the default windowed mode window being small enough to trigger mobile view in the browser. This means that it is near impossible to use the bottom edge to change modes.

Oh well, u8 has the dash, so is impacted as well.

This is the design. In single column mode, bottom edge should use touch based hint when no mouse connected and be swipeable. When mouse connected and single column then use bottom edge bar that spans the width of the app and is clickable.
