Thanks again for sending us feedback and helping us improve our Insider builds.
I am running into a problem with Username and Password autofill with this version. The option shows up for me to pick a saved account, but when I use the mouse to click on a saved account, the details are not filled.
This function was working perfectly on previous built.
- I have the same problem. Extremelly annoying.
- Oh, glad it's not just me... Autofill is no longer working. As Mark indicates, I get the dropdown showing me the name/password as usual, but when I click on the correct login, nothing is given to the input fields.
- Eric_EThanks, everyone, for reporting about the autofill issue. The engineering team is investigating.
Eric - Eric_E
I want to update you that we fixed the username and password autofill in the latest Canary and Dev build.
Eric
- Since Edge dev 107, the overlay scrollbar has had its minimal mode flag removed and replaced with a large, prominent style scroll, even though I don't use the Always Show Scrollbars toggle in the Windows accessibility settings.
- Eric_E
If you haven't already, I would like you to submit feedback from the browser about the overlay scrollbar.
- Click on the three dots menu button.
- Go to Help and feedback.
- Click on Send feedback.
- Fill out the form.
- Include your email address and make sure Allow (recommended) is selected for Send diagnostic data to Microsoft.
- Once completed, click on Send.
Eric
- For months now, when using vertical tabs, trying to open a tab's context menu with touch does not work.
- Thank you for the updates.
- Username and Password autofill have problem
This update doesn't appear to address the issue with color inputs that use <datalist>
See this example:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/datalist#color_type
When using version 107 or 108 it changes the selection to white/black rather than the chosen colour.
In version 106 this seemed to work fine.
I've provided feedback through the app but are you able to confirm that this is a bug, or is it an intentional change that I need to somehow workaround?
Thanks
Turns out this is a Chromium bug potentially. Hopefully it gets a merge soon.
- Eric_ESorry for the late reply. The engineers are aware of this and investigating.
SIkebeCould you pin this discussion? The pinned discussions for Dev channel release are quite old...- Password Autofill not working... i select from the dropdown menu but it does not fill it up...
Also, slow laggy built in password manager issue still not fixed..
