Fillable PDF forms cache data from previous time it was open
When I open up a fillable PDF using MS Edge, the PDF contains the text I entered the last time even though I didn't save the file. I am opening the file from a website. Same thing happens when opening a file from local filesystem if the name of the file stays the same.
This is erroneous behaviour, and it might cause data to leak when using a public computer or something similar. The issue happens in Edge Stable 114 and Edge Dev 115.
I'm not sure how long the issue has been here, most likely from the start of 114 stable.

- Also seeing the same issue, it arrived with 114.
Deleting the profile "fixes" it, but this isn't a solution. There are "recovered" PDF data files that get corrupted, once removed, the PDFs load properly. Not sure what is causing this. - The only short-term solution I've found for this is to delete your entire edge profile. Just clearing cache and cookies is not enough. Unsure how this interacts with profiles using sync.
