We're using machine learning to figure out what actually is a sign up page since it's not like there's any standard for them, but to help fill in the gaps, we've got a form here that anybody can fill out if they run into a site that it isn't triggering for: https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=v4j5cvGGr0GRqy180BHbR123cdFSKdZItI7mcVwhTx1UM1FN...
Thank you, I'm going to fill out lots of sites through that form,
I never knew about it till now, i think Edge should offer users that, at least to insider users, whenever a password field is detected and password generation is not offered.

Still not available for me on mobile. Also didn't get the vertical tabs when it was supposed to be 100% for the dev channel. Already submitted feedback, but no response, and still not fixed.
Why bother using Dev version if I never seem to get the new dev features rolled out to me?

@HotCakeX we're also working on some fixes for our detection so hopefully that form will be less necessary once they're rolled out.

@yoSachin just to check, did you enable or disable any of the edge://flags/#smooth-scrolling or edge://flags/#edge-experimental-scrolling or edge://flags/#disable-threaded-scrolling or edge://flags/#compositor-threaded-scrollbar-scrolling flags or edge://flags/#impulse-scroll-animations or edge://flags/#enable-de-jelly flags, and does changing any of them affect anything? The recent fix was targeted only to specific hardware, so if it's not the hardware that you have, it's probably a different issue.

Even update to dev version 90.0.789.1 didn't fix the scrolling issue. And all flags are set to default. When i faced the scrolling issue first, at that time i tried to enable impulse-scroll-animation, but that didn't have any effect, so i changed it back to default.

@yoSachin can you try disabling those flags one at a time? Their default state might actually be enabled. Also, if that does help, would it be possible to grab a video of what the exact difference in behavior is? That would really help us narrow down what the problem could be. Also also, assuming you're using a trackpad, what driver is it using?

here's the video showing difference in scrolling behaviour between edge and edge dev@josh_bodner

When i disabled "impulse type scroll animation', that slow scrolling problem got fixed, but obviously now i don't have edge like scrolling animation anymore. It feels quite chrome like now.

@yoSachin after having the team look at this, they believe this is related to the work we recently did to make scrolling less jerky. Unfortunately, people with different drivers end up having different reactions to those changes, so we're now looking into adding an option to flags to revert back to the older behavior, which it looks like would help people with drivers like yours.
