@josh_bodner I agree with everyone else that I'm happy to see the dropdown UI in fullscreen mode. Thanks! That's the way legacy Edge did it, and it's one more advantage over Chrome.

@josh_bodner Agreed with the other comments on Shy UI. Love it as a way to maximize my real estate on a small screen and it makes me much more likely to use it more often now that i dont have to keep toggling out to interact with the address bar. However, it is a little too aggressive in popping down when my mouse wanders remotely close to the upper edge, and there isn't a way to toggle it with touch.

No idea what is causing it, but the latest version keeps crashing and closing down.
Out of the frying pan in to the fire, springs to mind!

@Sumit Dhiman and everybody else seeing paste issues, we believe this is fixed in our current Canary builds, which means it should also be fixed in next week's Dev.

@josh_bodner Hi. I just updated Edge to 84.0.488.1. I'm experiencing an issue where right-clicking on navigation arrows (to get to the previously viewed websites) literally crashes the browser. It happens every time.

@josh_bodner Right clicking the back button crashes the browser.

@josh_bodner Please Do windows phone 10 like Animations and Transitions throughout Edge browser in next version and also please consider the idea of live tiles like BOOKMARKS (favorites) it would make a lot of difference if you talk about these thing please

Since the update I cannot paste anything into the gmail compose email dialog. I frequently copy and paste text, pictures whatever into a new email in gmail. Today after the update to latest edge, I cannot copy and paste anything into gmail. I right click and select paste and nothing happens, neither will ctrl C/V. I restarted edge, restarted windows and could not get anything to paste. I opened internet explorer and pasted things into gmail with it fine.

@rbyogi Same issue in all Google apps.

Thank you! I have been trying to figure out what was causing that, as it happens pretty quickly.

Holding the cursor down on the back button, in order to view a list of previously visited pages, causes Edge to force close

Hi,
yes it's a known issue which is fixed in the higher channel Canary.
Version 84.0.492.0 (Official build)
you have to wait to receive the fix on your Dev channel which will most likely be in the next update.

@josh_bodner What happened to the pull to refresh flag. I loved that feature! Can you please add it back?

I've had a similar problem come into this Dev build: I can't copy or paste (but I can cut) on G Suite websites (Gmail and Google Calendar tested). I've filed feedback on this. The menu options are selectable, but they and the keyboard shortcuts don't actually do anything on these pages. They still work elsewhere (other non-G Suite tabs, address bar, settings, etc.).
EDIT: should've read the rest of the thread. Thanks!

I've noticed periodic, like once every couple of minutes, cpu spikes of edge into the 50-60% range, and almost always at the same time, a spike in the windows search filter process, sometimes its accompanied by a spike in the avast antivirus service.
now..I am leery at turning off my search indexer, and going without my antivirus seems like ten kinds of dumb, that said, neither service saw spikes like THAT before the last update to the dev channel edge.
