Dev channel update to 79.0.309.11 is live
josh_bodner Unfortunately, multiple desktop support has become worse since last week's dev update. When you open a link from another app inside a virtual desktop where there is no Edge window, instead of opening a new window what happens is that you are thrown into an existing window inside one of the other desktops. I find this a pretty strong regression and think it should be fixed for a beta build.
Apart from that, the only issue I have with Edge right now is how the taskbar icon and the start menu icon are strangely "disjoint" - i.e. they are not the same, so the one on the taskbar shows "pin to start" as an option and the one on start shows "pin to taskbar" as option, for some reason. This also means that their jumplists are out of sync. However, from what I can tell this is already an issue with the current beta.
Apart from that, I find the new Edge to be a fantastic experience and it's been my default browser since the first dev build. Keep up the great work!
adrianghc Totally agree on the virtual desktop behavior. That's driving me insane since it started happening!

No kidding, eh, Sean? And being so used to how things are supposed to work, keep going to do certain actions forgetting it's not working right or not going to ARrrrrrrr
"Oh, yes, can't/won't to that, grrrrr" SIGH! Ahem. Yes, it's aggravating. But, they do know about it & say they are working on a FIX. Like you, I hope it is soon. It used to be alright. We had this, briefly, in 10 before it was released; that was fixed quickly back then.

DrewAre you sure?
- Do you mean that the one on the taskbar is missing "unpin from taskbar" and the one on start menu is missing "unpin from start menu"?
if the answer is yes then it's a problem but if the answer is no then it's normal what you explained:
"the one on the taskbar shows "pin to start" as an option and the one on start shows "pin to taskbar" as option" adrianghc
Hi,
Ok, we have just updated Dev today and I can find no change to this issue (yet). I find it has been the same ever since it 'broke' recently & started no longer behaving properly, in this context. Certainly, I fully agree it ought be fixed before the next Beta. I will, tell you the developers ARE aware & say they are working on fixing it. Fingers crossed it's done by then.
As for what you have Start vs Taskbar, sounds strangely different than what I have or I'm misunderstanding what you have described. Below for your viewing & comments is from mine...
Cheers,
DrewDrew1903 Actually, your screenshots show part of what I mean. Observe how the jumplists are different on the start menu and on the taskbar. This is because they are not the same shortcut. Only the one in the taskbar shows the "right" jumplist. You can't get the same shortcut to behave correctly on both start menu and taskbar. If you pin the one from the taskbar to start, it shows a blank tile titled "W~MSEdgeDev.UserData.Default". If you pin the one from the start menu to the taskbar, then any windows you launch from it will spawn a new icon on the taskbar instead of being assigned to the icon you just launched from.

Fair enough, Adrian. I believe, by design & intent, they are not the same. This you, eve, note & say yourself. But, each doing & offering what they do seems ok to me or IMHO. I don't see or find much different than the familiar or to what would be expected, traditionally. Admittedly, I may be the wrong person as I hardly ever turn to Start for anything... I'm more concerned with having everything copacetic at the taskbar & or elsewhere. I have preferred using the Applications window since sometime back in the early days of Win7.
Cheers,
Drew
