Can't see 'line focus' option
Hi all, I find the fade of the background in Edge frustrating as it dims the images and wanted to remove the fade (or make the images remain in focus). I thought maybe the 'line focus' option would help, but I can't find it in my browser. I click 'reading mode (F9)', but see no option for 'reading preferences' in the top bar - instead I see what I've attached. I'm using Version 150.0.4078.48 (Official build) (64-bit). Can anyone please help?
Windows Edge not forgetting email address.
On one of my Windows 10 computers, I no longer want my email address associated with it. I did the following: 1- I signed out of the Microsoft account on my PC and logged in as a local account. 2- Under Email and Accounts, I deleted my email account shown in control panel. None show any longer. 3- All windows and credentials for windows and web were removed. 4- Signed out of edge. 5- Repaired and edge. (Microsoft does not allow an uninstall.) 6- Told control panel to stop automatically sign in. Now when I start edge, a welcome screen shows. Edge wants you to sign in. It still shows the email address that I want my PC to forget. The profile won't delete. I created a second profile and switched to it hoping to delete the old, suggested email profile but my old, suggested email keeps showing up. To proceed, you do need credentials, but I just assume the PC does not show anything at all and that it forgets my email address. I do not want someone that I may let someone use my computer to even know my outlook email address. Microsoft Edge offers other way to credential the machine (SMS, emails etc.) I do not want anyone who is lent the machine sees any of this either. Why is Microsoft being so "helpful" when I don't want them to be. This is all a terrible security breach. I can't safely let someone use nor sell my computer without stripping down to the bare bones. And who know, will Microsoft tell the PC the email address since it has the serial number from the motherboard. (For those of you old enough do you remember when Intel put serial numbers in 80386 CPU? Deja vu?) Simply, how do I completely expunge my email from the computer altogether and stop this email stickiness?
Text annotations disappear if saved while the text box is still focused in Edge Screenshot editor
Hi Edge team, I found a reproducible issue in the built-in Screenshot feature in Microsoft Edge. When I add a text annotation to a screenshot using the Text tool, the annotation disappears from the saved image if I click Save while the text box is still focused. The text is only included in the final image if I manually click outside the text box first. Steps to reproduce: Step 1: Open Microsoft Edge. Step 2: Use the built-in Screenshot feature to take a screenshot. Step 3: In the Screenshot editor, select the Text tool. Step 4: Type any text annotation on the screenshot. Step 5: Without clicking outside the text box, click Save. Step 6: Open the saved image. Expected result: The text annotation should be automatically committed and merged into the screenshot when clicking Save, even if the text box is still focused. Actual result: The active text annotation is not merged into the final image. The saved screenshot does not contain the text annotation, and the text is silently lost. Impact: This can cause users to lose important notes or ideas when using the Screenshot feature for documentation, study notes, bug reports, or productivity workflows. Since the screenshot appears to save normally, users may not notice that the annotation is missing until later. Suggested fix: When the user clicks Save, Edge should automatically commit any active text box before exporting the screenshot. Environment: Microsoft Edge version: 150.0.4078.48 Official build Channel: Stable Operating system: Windows 11
Workaround for edge://flags/#edge-new-pdf-viewer but the New PDF View showing blank pages
Hello All -we use Microsoft edge to view PDFs of our vendors invoices. We found that with one vendor the invoices were appearing as a blank page in the browser, I did my research and found it was a known bug with edge for pdf's with a certain logo type or watermark in the header...something to that effect which made sense the way the invoices looked. The fix for this was to Disable the New PDF View option in flags which worked up until now where they don't allow Disabling of that anymore. Since the bug is clearly not fixed, is there another workaround I can supply to the users other then to use another browser. Additionally is this bug officially logged with Microsoft and is there a reference or issue number I can follow for resolution? Thanks in advanceFavicons for bookmarks broken since Edge v149 update
I've recently had Edge update to the v149.0.4022.52 stable-channel releases, and ALL my bookmarks now have no favicons. When I visit any webpage, Edge successfully loads the favicon for the tab of that website. But when I visit a bookmark, the favicon doesn't get updated after it has loaded for the site. And new bookmarks I add also don't show a favicon. If I go into my Edge profile-folder (which can found via edge://profile-internals/ , clicking the heading, then looking next to "Profile Path"), then it is still creating the "Favicon" and "Favicons-journal" files, but I assume isn't populating them with anything? I've tried deleting both files, restarting my PC, but even after Edge recreates them, no bookmarks are gaining any favicons. Is anyone else getting this issue...?
