  • Improved reliability due to Narrator announcing an intentional white space. The white space was unnecessary, so it has been removed and narrator has stopped announcing it.

    Well...
    1. Profiles > Import browser data > 'Import browser data now' > 'Favorites or bookmarks HTML file' doesn't work. No file selection dialog, 'All done!' messagebox appears immediately.
    2. Profiles > Import browser data > 'Import browser data now' > 'Passwords CSV file' doesn't work. No file selection dialog, nothing happened. 'Choose what to import' button no longer function unless reloaded.
    3. Profiles > Import browser data > 'Import passwords now' shows blank page. (Profiles > Passwords > 'Import passwords' as well)
    4. Download button disappears while downloading if it is set to hide. It appears after download finished. So progress indicator cannot be seen.
    5. Badge of extension button is colored red *again*.
    6. New tab button is colored red on mouse hover.

    Please return to the previous style of writing in the changelogs. The grammar of these new lists with "Added features", "Improved reliability" and "Changed behavior" at each point makes it confusing and incomprehensible. The previous grammatical style was much clearer and more understandable.

    This fixed the Teams/V8 engine bug for me that was mentioned in the previous build post. Thanks!

    JFC, would you PLEASE fix your settings so this button respects the users setting to hide the "tab action menu". Otherwise literally what does that setting even do?!

     

    also, would you please sort out the size of the right click menu. you are slowly bloating and destroying what only a few months ago was a fantastic browser. now edge is like the Russell Crowe of browsers all of a sudden.

      Do you have the setting in Privacy settings to Enhance your security on the web enabled? If so, it's a known issue that that setting intentionally disables web assembly.

    Looks like MS Teams web client works again. Had to use Chrome for a while (I reported the issue within the browser, not sure if it got noticed, as there was no feedback.)

    The running behavior of a Site installed as an App has changed. When one is pinned to the Taskbar, after opening the App, they do not "stick" to the associated app icon, and instead show up as a second icon.

     

    Version 103.0.1264.11 (Official build) dev (64-bit) running on Windows 10 Pro 21H2

      I resolved this by uninstalling/installing as app all of the sites exhibiting this odd behavior.
