OmegaMalkior Thanks for the detailed post, and welcome to our community!

That's a really neat and unique suggestion; I'll get in touch with the PDF team and pass this on to them.

Thank you for the welcome and thanks for your support! Very excited to be able to use Edge Chromium as my only browser for both web browsing and PDFs 🙂

P.S. forgot to mention that PDFs are also laggy on lower resolutions than 4K (have my Surface Pro 5 with native 2736 x 1824 and it experiences the same issues 4K resolutions does to a slightly lesser extent) which for students using a Surface line product it would be a hit if it were fixed for them too 🙂

Thanks again and cheers!

OmegaMalkior thanks for reporting this issue. Happy to inform that our team is already working on improving PDF scrolling in the new Microsoft Edge to make it as good as it was in legacy Edge. Please expect some improvements in upcoming releases.

And yes, the problem is the same on all monitors but may get aggravated on 4K monitors. I hope this helps.
