[Wayland] PWAs no longer appear as separate app windows — all group under main Edge icon
Hi, Since around 2025-09-07 to 2025-09-10, I’ve noticed that on GNOME (Wayland) all installed PWAs (even across different profiles) now appear grouped under the main Edge browser icon in the GNOME Shell dash/taskbar. Previously, each PWA would open in its own window group with its own icon. This is still the behavior in Chromium/Brave/Chrome, and can be restored there by editing the PWA’s .desktop file to set: StartupWMClass=<same value as Icon> However, Edge now seems to ignore StartupWMClass completely on Wayland, breaking workspace separation and making task switching hard. Environment: Ubuntu 25.04 GNOME 48.0 / Mutter (Wayland) Kernel 6.14.0-29 Intel Iris Xe GPU Edge (latest stable, observed post 2025-09-13) Repro steps: Install any PWA (e.g. Outlook, Teams, Spotify) from Edge Launch it (from any profile) Observe that it appears grouped under the main Edge browser icon Expected: PWA shows under its own icon and window group like in Chromium-based browsers Actual: All PWAs are bundled into the main Edge window group Editing StartupWMClass in the .desktop file no longer helps This regression makes PWAs much harder to manage on Wayland. Please route to the Linux/Wayland team if possible. Thanks!
can't copy/paste images from Edge
Hi All, It takes several attempts of right click + copy or highlight control+c in order to copy an image. It doesn't matter what site it's from and it is not due to any copyright infringement protections. It will often work after 5-10 attempts. Is anybody else having this issue? Edge is updated to the most recent version. Thanks.
Outlook suddenly cannot access Gmail
I suddenly started getting a message in Outlook saying "SIGN IN: Your account email address removed for privacy reasons needs attention, please sign in to use your account" It was followed by a button labeled "Sign in via browser". When I press that button, I'm taken to the following webpage: But when I press Continue I get the following error: You have denied Office access to Google - IMAP. Please grant Office access to Google - IMAP and try again. After a lengthy back-and-forth with ChatGPT, I ended up deleting my Gmail account in Outlook as well as my IMAP credentials in Windows 11, but it did not fix the problem. When I try to add back the account, I get all the same errors in all the same places. I found one post on the internet where a use claimed to have fixed this problem by changing the names of the IMAP & SMTP server in Outlook: In Outlook, add the account as IMAP manually: IMAP server: change imap.gmail.com to imap.googlemail.com Port: 993 SMTP server: change smtp.gmail.com to smtp . googlemail.com Port: 465 None of that helps.

After the latest Microsoft Edge update, the vertical tab sidebar no longer collapses when entering fullscreen mode (F11). Previously, when fullscreen was enabled, the vertical tabs would automatically collapse or hide, allowing the webpage to use the full screen space. Now the vertical tab bar remains visible, reducing usable screen area. Steps to reproduce: Enable Vertical Tabs in Microsoft Edge Open any website Press F11 to enter fullscreen mode Observe that the vertical tab sidebar remains visible Expected behavior: Vertical tabs should collapse or automatically hide in fullscreen mode, as they did in earlier versions. Actual behavior: The vertical tab sidebar stays visible during fullscreen instead of collapsing. Additional testing: Tested in a Guest profile (fresh profile with default settings); issue still occurs Happens across different websites Restarting Edge does not fix the issue Edge version: 145.0.3800.58 (Official build) (64-bit)
PDF Viewer Internal Hyperlink Forward/Back buttons
Hi I read a lot science papers as PDFs in Edge. They are full of hyperlinks referring either to other parts of the paper, or to external resources. It is now possible to open an external link in a new tab (which was not possible in the old Edge), so that's great. However, beyond that, there is no ability go back from a followed internal hyperlink. E.g. I click on a link to a reference in the middle of a long paper, I get taken to the bibliography at the end of the same document, I now want to go back to where I was and I have to scroll back to find my place. Old Edge also didn't have this feature. Adobe's PDF Reader has separate back/forward buttons in addition to next/previous page buttons which allow one to follow the internal hyperlink history within the document. Something like this would be a great addition to the PDF reader. Maybe it would be enough to overload the browsers back/forward buttons here?MS Edge - Sidebar and copilot not working on Linux Ubuntu v24 LTS

Hello. In Microsoft Edge version 145.0.3800.58 (Official Build) (64-bit), web pages are displayed by default within a container with rounded corners and padding on all sides. This results in pixels being lost in height and width. It also means that CSS definitions with a min-width for common resolutions such as Full HD (1920px in width) or WQHD (2560px in width) do not apply. Many front-end frameworks rely on these pixel thresholds to dynamically adjust container sizes. I'm sorry to be so blunt, but as so often in the long, sad history of Microsoft web browsers, common web standards are once again being ignored. This time it's for a feature that no one really needs, but which once again causes extra work for many web developers. Ever since I started working in web development, back when the dreadful Microsoft Internet Explorer was still widely used, it has always been extremely labour-intensive to adjust websites for Microsoft browsers. This has caused a great deal of frustration over the decades, and there seems to be no end in sight. Integrating the Chromium engine into Edge was a promising first step. But perhaps Microsoft could also start respecting web standards outside of the engine? I'm sure that hundreds of millions of web developers would be grateful. I suppose hope dies last 😉
