I'm glad to see the Dropdown UI is now activated by design and has become an official feature of edge. I experimented with it since it became available months ago by enabling edge://flags/#edge-enable-shy-ui
But unfortunately the issues of the previous versions are still unsolved:
- You can't invoke it on a touch device with your finger (only with a pen/stylus), the swipe-in function is just missing. Which is a bit annoying, because fullscreen mode is primarly used on tablets because of the limited screen space.
- It regularly freezes edge after a few touches on tabs, press and hold to exit fullscreen mode also doesn't work then anymore. Only way to exit edge is to hit the device's Windows-button and then shut down edge by long press the taskbar icon.
- I've also noticed that there are many websites where the right-click menu (press and hold on touch devices) to exit fullscreen mode isn't shown, so again no way to leave fullscreen except to shut down edge.
- And after you exit fullscreen mode, it gives you this (notice the tabs are all invisible now)
Thanks for the good work, at least we have a urgently needed feature that was always missed in Chrome, but please keep an eye on fixing the above.
