Thanks for sharing the issue!

After some quick searching around, there is a new option in the "Appearance" settings in Edge that has a thing called "Touch Mode".

Click the drop down from "Automatic" to "disabled" and it should fix the issue!

I am sure this update was more geared for Tablet users!

Anyways, have a wonderful day!

God bless,

Shawn

Hello, thanks for the advice, the tabs have returned to their previous state. However, there is still one but. The tab close button is now shifted to the very edge of the tab. It seems to me that this is a design violation / bug.

  And the tab itself slightly sticks out beyond the boundaries, climbing a little on the search bar. Unfortunately, the screenshot is not visible due to the pop-up window.

  Deleted here is a screenshot. Unlike the previous version, the icons have shifted significantly to the edges of the tab

    I have a similar issue, where when a video is playing, the icon for the speaker is touching the edge of the tab thing..
