Edge Tab Behavior with Surface Pen

Hi Folks,

I posted this to Windows Feedback some time ago but have never heard anything and wanted to see if I could bring it up here as well.

There's two related problems:

When using a stylus and switching tabs in tablet mode with normal (Horizontal) tabs, that "X" is invisible but still active. If you attempt to switch tabs, you are very likely to hit the large "X" hitbox that you can't even see, and the tab will close.

In Vertical Tab mode, almost the opposite behavior is occuring. When tapping in the tab area with a pen, it will NOT expand the tabs area to see the tab names, like it will with touching in that area.

Also, if you open the Vertical Tab area with touch and click a different tab, the tab area stays open. If you open the Vertical Tab area with touch and then use the pen to select a tab, it immediately minimizes the tab area.

Both of these behaviors are clearly linked to interpreting Pen input as if it is a mouse, when the behavior in this case should be acting more like touch.

I really hope the team can resolve these issues, either in Edge or with Chromium. The tab close issue is very annoying.

So much work was put into the dynamic resizing for Touch mode but it's not really usable in Touch mode with Pen.

Thanks,

Steven
