This feature still doesn't work on touch screens like it's supposed to do. In Classic Edge, swiping down from the upper edge will reveal the tabs and address bar. Swiping in the lower edge will reveal the taskbar. That is not the case with the new Edge.

  Update, the problem appeared again. I can swear it was gona the other day but today i went to BBC, played a video on fullscreen and after going back to normal mode, there was the black bar at the top again. then I went to YouTube and same thing happened.

  solution to get rid of the black bar that is covering the address bar and tabs: press F11 2 or 3 times.
