@josh_bodnerAt this point I'm only seeing it when pasting URL's from JIRA or Confluence into Slack. If I paste the same URL into say a Word document or an Outlook e-mail I don't seem to have an issue. Other URL's don't seem to have the same problem in Slack that I can tell, but that may also be related to Slack's 'preview' feature where they are pulling the highlights of the link. I submitted a bug report on the previous beta for this one. Haven't repeated it for this version. Let me know if doing so would help.

@josh_bodner Just installed 87.0.644.4 this morning and I notice there's an issue with Extensions no longer being displayed on the tool bar. After the update there was one, then I tried to play with it by disabling/enabling them and now not a single enabled extension is visible in my toolbar.

@josh_bodner -- having issues with this DEV build crashing and closing when trying to run the Favorites Duplicate remover. Need to have this fixed as I have switched to Canary for now since it works, but prefer DEV build.

Please pay attention to these two problems that appeared after your programmers added the "Compositor threaded scrollbar scrolling" feature to Chrome:

It would be great if Edge / Chrome could finally start zooming in on the image / website under the mouse cursor: "Enlarge web pages and images under the cursor, as in the Chrome version for Android"
Surprisingly, it works in ancient Internet Explorer 11! O_O LOL!!! xD

@josh_bodner And one more thing that applies to your new Edge: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1134936

@Michael Jones Your existing bug should be fine. We've previously made a fix specifically for Slack not treating these links properly, but it looks like we only fixed some of the causes, so I'll let the people who fixed it know.

@raimond2 86 is our current Beta, which means it was in Dev about a month ago. When was the login from?
Oct 07 2020 05:59 PM
@Vlad_Koon It looks like the last one is being taken as a feature request instead of a bug, so it will probably be less of a priority.
Oct 07 2020 09:54 PM
@josh_bodner Thanks. In the current build, it appears to be corrected for at least the Atlassian ones I paste into Slack a lot. I saw it on a few others but it was pretty random. Will shout if I run into it again someplace noteworthy.

@josh_bodnerIt was around the 25th September. When was that version released? I'm not sure how I could have installed a beta version. I didn't use the insider site until this issue arose? Pretty sure it was an intruder logging in unless you can explain how I would have installed that version somewhere.
Oct 08 2020 06:36 PM
@raimond2 Beta would have still been 86 (and Dev 87) at that point. You can verify whether or not you're using one of the Insider builds by going to edge://version and seeing what the top line says.
Oct 08 2020 08:53 PM
@Michael Jones Well, that didn't take long. :) Atlassian stuff is working on the paste into Slack, but I ran into some other internal sites at work that didn't paste correctly either.
Oct 08 2020 09:59 PM
@josh_bodnerThanks Josh. It could have auto-updated since then though, no?
Would someone have have had to have downloaded that version from a specific beta repository or was the beta offered to the general public back then via the normal release channels?
Oct 09 2020 09:03 PM
@raimond2 That version of Edge 86 would have been the exact version in Beta at that time, so it sounds like it was just a regular, up-to-date version of Beta that anybody would have had access to.

@josh_bodner And maybe your team can somehow make an impact on fixing this behavior, which has been annoying users for more than ten years!
I suggest displaying the "Press Esc to exit full screen" tooltip no more than 2-3 times
