Bug when opening pdfs

Hello, I am using the Dev version 79.0.294.1 and I noticed a strange bug: when reading papers online edge crops the last page, see screen capture in attachment. This happens with every paper...

Hi,

I tried your PDF link on 2 machines on both Dev and Canary, I couldn't produce your error in either of them. both instances loaded the PDF file completely till the end, page 23rd.

This is on 1st machine, Edge insider Canary

This is on 2nd machine, Edge insider Dev

This is on 3rd machine and this time it's Edge insider Beta

Try disabling any flags you are using:

edge://flags/

And clear Caches images and files and other browser data from here:

edge://settings/clearBrowserData

you can try settings the browser options to defaults as well:

edge://settings/reset

Well that's showing progress at least
in your first screenshot only 13 pages were recognized but in this second one it's showing 24 pages

have you tried loading that PDF file
https://arxiv.org/pdf/1910.04761.pdf

inside InPrivate mode window?

  A brief update: I tried to uninstall and reinstall the latest dev version but the issue persisted. I then installed the beta version and everything works fine. I'm on the latest Windows 10, surface pro 6 should it matter.

    Hi, no it shouldn't matter which device you're using as long as it's running a supported OS.
    That's good news it's working on Beta,
    when you uninstalled Dev, did you also remove all the user data? I believe that option would appear as a checkbox during the uninstall procedure.

  Hi again. The first screenshot was from a different pdf, apologies for the confusion. As far as I can see Edge always crops the last page, using inPrivate mode too.
