Focus Mode Bug / UI logic improvement

Hi, I just found a bug in Focus Mode that can confuse users when trying to go back to the normal mode.

 

when user switches a tab to focus mode, that tab will not reload or refresh, only the UI replaces, the same thing happens when you exist focus mode, so far everything is great

 

but here is the problem:

 

 

 

the "move to new window" button is always grayed out. when there is no other Edge window open, that option should be available so the user can click on it to open a new Edge window and unfocus that tab on that new window. that option being there, unavailable, is redundant.

 

Even when there is another window open, that option is still grayed out!

 

 

 

 

"new window" option grayed out.

 

there is only one situation where that option is Not grayed out, and that is when there is more than 1 tabs in the focus mode. the logic behind its UI obviously needs some improvements.

it's fairly easy to reproduce this issue.

    My comment was removed by one of the moderators, I just wanted to clarify that it was not me who removed it, I still think exactly the same as I wrote in that comment.

      Sorry, I don't know what you're referring to.

      but if they removed something then they had very good reason for doing it.
