Latest release of Edge crashes

Hi there, I am experiencing an issue with the latest Edge version 92.0.902.55 which crashes on large HTML datalists. Large being approximately 20,000 options. Works well on Chrome and Firefox but a number of website users have experienced the same issue after the update to the latest of Edge. Any help here would be appreciated. Have tried cache clearing and InPrivate modes. Issue persists on these users machines. Thank you.

    This is a bug that we are experiencing as well with Edge.  Does Microsoft plan on fixing it in the next edge release?  Does anyone have access to the next Beta/upcoming Edge release?

    I have also experienced a similar issue. I made a video showing the problem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-aIdcmZzJ0

    It crashes even on tiny datalists of 1-2 options. Even the bare-bones HTML below is enough to crash Edge when you press the 'Up' or 'Down' arrow keys twice in a row while the input box is in focus:
    <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html>
    <head>
    </head>
    <body>
    <!-- When you press the down arrow key twice, Edge crashes. -->
    <h1>This html causes crash on Edge 92.0.902.55</h1>
    <label>Options:</label>
    <input type="text" list="options" />
    <datalist id="options">
    <option>Option 1</option>
    </datalist>
    </body>
    </html>

        Work around we have provided is to use Chrome or Firefox. Both are stable.

        Hi,
        I was using the 64 bit version of Edge, not the 32 bit version. I just tested it again on Edge Version 92.0.902.62 (Official build) (64-bit), and it is still crashing.

    appears this issue is related to the 32-bit version of Edge
