Edge Pdf Viewer does not support page=Fit (only FitV or FitH works)

Dear community,

I found that the Edge Pdf Viewer does not allow to display a pdf so that its first page fully fits into the window (no part of the PDF is out of the viewport).

You can use the following URL to verify:

https://creativelab.berkeley.edu/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/1920X1080-HORIZONTAL-template.pdf#page=1&view=Fit

Test Case 1

When the window width gets too small, the window will display a horizontal scrollbar instead of scaling the pdf to fit the width:

Test Case 2

When the window height gets too small, the window will display a vertical scrollbar instead of scaling the pdf to fit the height:

When I use either FitV or FitH, the respective behaviour is as expected. 

But I need to combine both behaviours, and thus Fit would be the right option, which seems to be ignored by Edge.

When I test the same parameters in other Browsers that use a Chromium engine, it works.

Microsoft Edge Version 141.0.3537.85 (Official Build) (64-Bit)
Windows 11

Thanks for any advice and thoughts! If there is a dedicated place to create a bug report, please let me know.
