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 :unamused::sad: "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.

    Cheers,
