Dev channel update to 104.0.1293.1 is now live!
Thank you for your detailed feedback and suggestions.
Regarding the "scrolling through a pdf-file stutters in Edge Dev/Canary", here is the verbatim of the feedback I submitted via the Feedback-function in Edge Dev:
- "Scrolling through a PDF-file in Edge Dev (and Edge Canary) became far less smooth than in Edge Stable and Edge Beta. I tested this by scrolling the same PDF in all 4 browser versions on my Windows 11 pc. In Edge Stable and Beta, scrolling is smooth. In Edge Dev and Canary, scrolling stutters. This is true for PDF-files stored locally and PDF-files opened straight from the web. I also tested this in InPrivate windows, and also with all extensions disabled, to ensure that no extension caused this. Scroll stutter remained in both cases. (Note: I also reported this to Missy Quarry, @MissyQ, in the Microsoft Tech Community)."
Note: I also just evaluated if the "edge://flags/#smooth-scrolling" flag would have an impact. It does not. Scrolling stutters with this flag set to Default, Enabled or Disabled.
Paul_VC Thanks, friend! I found your feedback item. I see you made it possible for us to contact you via your submission, so thank you for that! We will likely communicate further there, but first I am going to escalate this to the team and see if they are aware of the situation. I know I had seen issues like this in the past, but this one seems new.
Side note on that flag: That was not intended for PDFs explicitly, so what you are seeing is expected. :3
