Edge Insiders,

My name is Tim Scudder and I’m a member of the Edge performance team. I wanted to provide an update on this issue: we were able to repro the problem locally, we have a fix coded, validated and are now working to get this change into our next dev drop (estimated to be 76.0.166.0).

We apologize for the inconvenience, but truly appreciate everyone’s help in isolating the problem.

NOTE: We are also aware of a https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=962784 that also has CPU/battery impact that originated upstream in Chromium's codebase. This issue has been fixed upstream and we are also working to make sure the fix is in our next dev drop (again, estimated to be 76.0.166.0)

Regards,

Tim Scudder

sambul95 "Keep focused! Yet bug fixing priority is again defined by the Program Manager and Roadmap schedule."

I've had good luck with MES responsiveness when reporting other bugs. On earlier occasions, MES e-mailed me shortly after submission, I submitted the test/results log, MES replicated, and then opened the bug. The point of opening a bug (as I understand it) is that the process kicks the issue onto the roadmap schedule, usually with a higher priority than it might otherwise have had. I don't have access to the Program Manager or the Roadmap schedule, so I do what I can to kick the issue up the ladder.

"Another way to try is contacting this forum Mods, they can push Edge Support to at least Reply to your bug report email. "

I would expect the moderators to visit this thread today or tomorrow (that seems to be the pattern after a weekend thread breaks out) and report that they will notify the appropriate team(s).
