How soon is Edge expected to switch to Chromium 74?

Chrome 74 was released as stable 2 days ago with a bugfix for a feature I use frequently (https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=927004). I'd like to know how soon Edge Canary is expected to switch to being based on Chromium 74.

joel0m Take a look at About Microsoft Edge in Settings. We are on Chromium 75.

  NicolSD Hmm. It appears the bug fix in Chrome didn't make its way into Edge then (which lead to my incorrect assumption that Edge was using a different number than the Chromium base versions). I'll submit a bug report for Edge. Thank you for your answer.

    What's the bug?
    
    Having never before used F6 to select the address bar (I'm an Alt-D IE dinosaur), I tried it out in Canary. As far as I can see, the first press selects the tab, making it easy to select different tabs and their (sometimes hard to see) Close 'X.' A subsequent press selected the address bar.
