Beta 79.0.309.51 problems with touch keyboard

With this version the touch keyboard is having issues. It sometimes works, sometimes it does NOT activate then clicking on the URL bar.

    matsmcp I can also talk to the team about porting the fix for that bug to Dev/the next Beta, but I'm not sure what the bar is for getting fixes in.

I do believe they are right. Chromium did fix a touch related bug in https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1022295#c34. With Chromium Canary (81.0.3997.0 or higher) the issue is gone. That patch has also been merged into Chromium 80.3987 but there is no Chromium dev with that or a higher build number yet

 

I just wanted to alert you of this extra issue in 79.X since it's a lover series (80 did work up to early 3948) and as I understand it is scheduled to be released in less than a month.

 

To try to summarize 

Edge beta up to about two weeks ago was good

Edge beta  309.51 and forward has "reduced functionality" (fails maybe 10-15% of times - no pattern on it yet but believed to only impact the old keyboard)

Edge dev - currently broken and I'm a little worried since the broken build is supposed to be the next beta if I understand josh_bodner right. I would like to suggest that it might be worth waiting a little and rebase on 80.3948 to get the keyboard fix since chromium classed it as a release blocker.

Edge Canary - Known broken. Will fix itself as soon as it gets rebased on 81.3997

 

Long post but I hope it was of some value

Merry Christmas

    Hello, would be great if it could be done for all 3 flavours before the holidays. 

    They revised the fix a few days ago, but it's stable now. The final fixed Chromium releases are: 

    81.0.3999.0 (for Canary)

    80.0.3987.19 (for Dev)

    79.0.3945.96 (for Beta)

     

    Thanks and Happy Holidays
