IE Mode popup problem
Shilpa_Subramanian I have just tried it on our intranet sites with the latest Insider build (19037.1) with Edge Dev 80.0.358.0 and all the required
edge://flagsall set and the test mode string added to the launch shortcut:
--ie-mode-testand I can confirm it behaves as expected now:
A link with 'target=_blank' specified will now really open the link in a new IE mode tab, loading the webpage as expected. No longer resulting in an empty tab with 'about:_blank' staring at me from the address bar... Thanks! Great work!
Going forward; will this fix uniquely require the forthcoming 2004 Update? Or will the fix eventually also be rolled out to IE installs on older builds as well? Through the monthly patches maybe?
UmutGI've got the same problem, and already filed it as feedback right from the smiley in the browser. So far the problem has not been identified and/or fixed by Microsoft.
I can exactly reproduce your problem. Got our intranet (sharepoint) sites defined in a sites.xml that makes 'em open in a IE Mode tab by a local on-device policy. Whenever a link on any of the sharepoint pages is defined as target=_blank (open in new windows/tab) it totally hangs both source and target tab. Can only be remedied by killing the browser through the task manager.
Could you please put this high on your fix-list Microsoft? Cause the IE mode IMHO is the killer enterprise feature, which is now not so usable 😊
Moaske Thanks four your help, i did report the problem to Microsoft by using the "smiley" feature hope they fix this problem soon. The main reason i choose edge chromium as my main browser at work is i want to use only one browser for all the work. Right now i have to use IE for e-signature and edge for casual browsing. IE Mode is the top enterprise feature but it's not working properly.
