Hi, 

When an external hyperlink is clicked the edge window does not push itself to the front of the screen. It just sits flashing orange in the taskbar. This is especially annoying in tablet mode where you then have to open the app switcher to get to edge.

Proposed change: When an external hyperlink is clicked edge should push itself to be the window on top (like just about every other browser and app).

Thanks,

Alex

    ajasnz Yes! Good lord! I thought I was the only one! Thought Windows was being Windows again! I would click a link in my mail app. Except in my case, sometimes, the icon does not even flash. I would be confused why it was not opening. And press it a few more times. Switch to the browser after manually copying the link. Oh. That's why...........
