Edge v80 file uploader looks terrible compared to v79 (if your laptop is at scalings like 175%)

The problem is with Edge Dev 80.0.361.23 on Windows 10 v1909. My laptops display scaling is set to 175% (though you should be able to repro at other scalings such as 125%). Bring up Edge's file uploader (Go to bing.com > Images > Search using an image > browse) and look how bad it looks compared to Edge v79, especially the text. Can anyone else repro?

 

(in the screenshot I use Chrome v79 but Edge v79 looks exactly the same).

    Bdsrev Confirmed again on a Surface Pro 5 with 200% scaling. No problem in v79. Only appear after the beta version got upgraded to v80.

    I'm having the same issue. On some websites, the uploader looks alright but on others, it's very pixelated. It's as if there were two completely different uploaders in Edge.
  • HiBdsrev 

    Nice find, I could easily reproduce this problem on a totally different setup as well

     

    • Windows 10 insider fast ring build 19536 x64
    • PC
    • Edge insider canary Version 81.0.381.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit)
    • 175% scaling

     

     

    Here is how it looks like on the above setup. very blurry like in your picture

     

    175% Scaling Edge insider canary 81

     

     

    The same setup with Edge canary 81 but with 100% scaling. notice the blur is gone and everything looks crystal clear

     

    100% Scaling Edge insider canary 81

     

     

     

    again the same setup as above but this time trying it on Firefox Dev version 72.0b11 (64-bit) at 175% scaling. everything looks crystal clear, no problem

     

    Firefox 72 dev at 175% scaling

      I'm away for a few days, can you repro in Chrome v80? Canary, Dev etc
      • I don't have Google chrome installed.

        is it necessary though?
