Focus Mode Bug / UI logic improvement
HotCakeX I can switch from focus mode to normal mode without any problem:
Or maybe I didn't quite understand the bug you mean.

HotCakeX This?:

I know about that but I was referring to the one in my own screenshot in the first post.
the "move to new window" button is always grayed out. when there is no other Edge window open, that option should be available so the user can click on it to open a new Edge window and unfocus that tab on that new window. that option being there, unavailable, is redundant.
Even when there is another window open, that option is still grayed out!
"new window" option grayed out.
there is only one situation where that option is Not grayed out, and that is when there is more than 1 tabs in the focus mode. the logic behind its UI obviously needs some improvements.
I updated my post to be more clear about the matter.

HotCakeX I don't consider this to be a "bug", the "Move to new Window" option is not designed to exit focus mode and switch to normal mode, the option to do that is found in the ellipsis menu ("Open in Microsoft Edge" or "Open in chrome"), this is how "focus mode" was designed, you must remember that this feature was developed by Google engineers (working on the Chromium project) for Chrome and in that browser there is no "Move to new window" option in the tab context menu, so it’s completely normal for that option to not work in the "focus mode", the fact that the "focus mode" feature works on the new Edge is simply a consequence of using Chromium.
In my opinion, this is rather a request that you make to Edge developers (for that option to work in the "focus mode") and not a "bug" as you call it in the post because, as I said, it’s completely normal that this option doesn’t work in the "focus mode".
