drag a tab to split-screen is broken

Have a few tabs open, then click and drag one of them to either side of the screen so that tab detaches into its own window and is split screen. Notice that tab you dragged to either side of the scre...

    Bdsrev To loop back, here's some info on the split-screen issue, called "Windows Snap:" this seems like it may be related to that Chromium bug, so our devs are continuing to actively track it. (And your feedback actually did help them, so thank you for the original callout!)

     

    We'll let you know if/when there are any further updates on this.

Bdsrev Thanks for your continued interest, but please don't post just to "bump" unless at least a month has gone by with no activity. While not expressly against our code of conduct, the Edge Insiders team have logged these issues diligently, even if they don't have an immediate answer, and I promise you that bumping won't bring it to the top of their radar and that it has not left their radar.

But Eric, no one is letting us know if Microsoft employees are actually seeing these issues and filing them internally. If the Edge team knows about an issue, their should be some kind of acknowledgement! No one from Microsoft has to "answer" or explain anything, but they should at least say something like "this issue is now filed internally". Do you understand why some users like myself bump posts or file the same issue more than once? This is starting to feel like the Feedback Hub all over again! (and please don't defend the Feedback Hub, I have filed many legitimate bugs in it over the years and none have been fixed and the bugs are still present in the newest insider builds of Windows 10. I don't want the same thing to happen to Edge).

    Bdsrev To give you some insight: it is our team's goal is to directly respond to and/or acknowledge as many posts as possible. However, when there are days or weeks with a higher volume of posts and comments and/or for niche situations, it may take us a little longer to respond.

     

    And I would agree with HotCakeX , that this forum offers a unique opportunity that isn't possible via other channels, which is for fellow Insiders and technical users to engage with you and your thoughts. As we continue to encourage this awesome community to grow and flourish, we will often intentionally allow other Insiders the opportunity to respond first. This can either give more voices and data points behind a bug, helping us identify/fix it faster, or offer workarounds that even we might still be determining.

     

    That being said, we understand that something may be urgent, so if you are looking for absolute certainty that everything has been received and internally filed, you can send individual feedback items through the browser. Even if you don't see an immediate response or resolution, I can guarantee that it is all looked at and actioned appropriately.

      Fawkes thank you! I have 1 last question: is the Edge team considering bringing back their own public issue tracker? The old Edge had one. I understand it's a little bit more complicated now because Chromium of course already has a public bug tracker BUT there are a lot of things that are specific to Edge, so I think Edge deserves its own public issue tracker. I think that could really improve things.

        Bdsrev Sure thing, happy to provide some context. The short answer is that yes, since we have gotten a lot of feedback around the public issue tracker, our team is actively discussing it!

    I think the proper way to submit bugs and be sure that they are being tracked is to fill and send them using the feedback button on the browser. that's where you get confirmation email and later follow up emails saying they they are working on your feedback or congratulate you that you helped to fix a bug.
    the forum is the forum, not a bug tracker, we discuss stuff, bugs etc like by making sure a bug is universal or not, experience by others or just by one person, if developers by chance see a bug post, they comment on it but I've seen various times on the forum that the developers also asked the users to submit the bug through feedback button on the browser to be properly tracked.
    so I think bumping threads has zero value. it's not like your bug reports are more important that someone else's bug reports who is not active on the forum very often to bump his/her threads.
