Bug Description

[Impact]

This is a bug which interferes with horizontal scrolling when using webbrowser-app on the desktop.

[Test case]
To reproduce, go to a site (I use youtube.com as an example) where you need to scroll horizontally to see all of the content. If you have a touchpad, no problem; just use a two-finger drag as a workaround. But if I try to scroll by dragging the scrollbar shown on the bottom using the mouse, it brings up the bottom bar instead.

Factor in bug #1191727, and this means that on the desktop you cannot scroll horizontally at all unless you have a touchpad.

[Regression potential]
The toolbar is always made visible to resolve the issue.

Thanks for your bug report. We're trying to address that issue as part of https://bugs.launchpad.net/webbrowser-app/+bug/1308034 first.

The toolbar placement will evolve in sync with the rest of our form factors, so this interaction issue should be resolved in the next design update.

the url bar will be moved to the top as an overlay and that will fix this issue
