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

Hi, I received an email from Microsoft, likely a response to my Edge Feedback message, that the "pdf stuttering scrolling" issue will be resolved in an upcoming release of Edge Dev. Is this indeed the case? Will it be in the next release, or a later one?
- Thanks, Missy, for the excellent support you provide here.
