Scrolling multiple line with a mouse feels much less snappy in this build, is that a design choice? Personally this feels much worse. Scrolling a single line at a time is still perfectly responsive however.

Is trackpad pinch gesture currently increasing page zoom level a bug or a "feature" ? It feels a little odd in this last update.

I've been using Edge without smooth scrolling all this time? Since last year? How is that possible? I just disabled it and it feels just like it was before I updated to today's build. I'm in shock.
Edit: Never mind. It's just this website.

We're also tracking some issues with certain devices from certain manufacturers when it comes to trackpad behavior. We're planning on extending some fixes to them that we had tried out on other brands of devices earlier this year, so that may also help some of you.

@Wryth Yes, I have same exact problem to pinch zoom for touchpad user, also the scrolling experience seems quite not good.
it felt like i'm sliding, where the previous version is much smoother for 2 finger scrolling.

@josh_bodner Click on 3 dot menu, it shows up. Now click on vertical tabs side bar and it refuses to expand until you click again on the three dot option and close the menu. Why can't we have both?

@josh_bodner Still holding out for this issue to get resolved :folded_hands:

@Wryth @josh_bodner I noticed that using the trackpad's pinch gesture actually changes the browser's zoom level. The zoom level is not changed when you use the same pinch gesture on a touch-enabled PC screen, like a Surface Pro.

I'm also still having the weird paste issue I had in the previous build (didn't see anything about it being fixed) where when I paste links for JIRA tickets into Slack the shortened URL is being truncated to just the host portion of the URL vs the entire URL being represented.
Seems to be a weird interaction, but I also seem to only have this problem with Atlassian products (JIRA and Confluence in my case, don't use any of the other products at the moment).

Also, this page will no longer scroll in the latest beta for me.

The context menu has an option to close a tab, and right below it an option to close all other tabs except current.
This is not very convenient when using touch screen as often accidentally the lower option registers and you loose all your open tabs.
Would be nice to add a separator or an expanding sub menu under "more options" or something like that.
Cheers.

@Rahsna Asurac, it feels random. If I open a new tab, it zooms smoothly, but if I zoom a website that changes its zoom level, the new tab page will start doing the same.

@sprite-1 that seems more like a feature request than a bug, so it's probably going to take a little more time since this feature is still a work in progress anyway.

@Michael Jones does pasting them anywhere else exhibit the same behavior, or is it just Slack that's not getting them pasted correctly? Also, is it only that source, or can you also get other links to paste incorrectly into Slack? Figuring out how widespread this is would really help.

@eduardobragaxz (and everybody else experiencing trackpad issues), I've alerted our scrolling team. Also, please make sure you file feedback from within the browser since that will get us logs that might be useful in diagnosing this.
