new bug: URL in URL bar shifts to the right when you start editing it
New issue in Edge Canary introduced today or yesterday: when you start editing the URL in the URL bar, it shifts to the right. This is really annoying and is clearly just wrong. It's one of the little "paper cuts" that made me use Edge instead of Chrome (Chrome has this issue for a few years now, here is the bug report for it https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=853355 )
Please, revert to the way Edge used to be! The URL should not shift, period. This is UI/UX 101 (I really don't know what the Chrome team is thinking leaving this for so long)

- Yous are the best! While I've got your attention, can you please give us an update on the vertical tabs Fitts' Law issues? Here is the discussion for that https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/discussions/vertical-tabs-should-be-consistent-with-fitts-law/m-p/1879058
- As far as I know, vertical tabs intentionally did that as a design choice, since that's the direction our design language is evolving in. It also arguably has the benefit of reducing unintentional tab activations, although I have no idea how to weight the relative importance of easy activation vs. preventing unintentional activation. And there are other situations where you won't have the tab be pushed all the way to the left of the pane anyway. For example, if you use tab groups, you get a margin on the left that doesn't respond to clicks.
