IE Mode Zoom Reset

Edge seems to remember zoom setting changes except for IE Mode sites, they always reset to 100%.  Is there any way to change this behavior?

    MPetro-Hoganas AndrewSAIF A fix for this issue should be available in Edge versions 84.0.496 or after. Can you confirm if you're still seeing this behavior on the latest version of Edge Dev/Beta? 

     

    Thanks,

It looks like IE Mode tabs also ignore the minimum font size setting in Edge.

AndrewSAIF Thanks for reaching out. I've reached out to the IE Mode team and will let you know if they have any insights about this zooming behavior.

      I am not seeing this fixed in 88.0.705.56 (Official build) (64-bit). IE tabs still open to a different default and resetting them doesn't change the default. Nor does setting the default for stand alone IE11. Also, with a homepage of multiple enterprise and non-enterprise tabs, occasionally an IE11 tab is incorrectly opened as a separate window.

      Hi Shilpa,

       

      I have some additional feedback about this feature from my pilot group. It looks like anytime an IE Mode page opens a popup window on the same subdomain set to a different zoom level, this has the effect of changing the user's zoom preference for that whole site immediately, which changes the zoom level for the parent tab. The example I was able to duplicate involved a link that opened a popup window that was a hard-coded size. The content automatically zoomed to fit the window, which resulted in the zoom level for the site being changed. 

       

      It is possible these popups could be redesigned to open to a relative size, but it would be also nice if Edge only changed this preference as a result of user interaction instead of anytime the zoom level changes.

      Hi Shilpa,

      Thanks for the quick reply! I tested in Edge Dev and it looks like it does correctly keep the zoom level now. This is great news. 

      I did notice that there is a popup anytime a new IE Mode tab is launched for which zoom is set:

      However, this popup is preferable to the feature not working at all. 

      Deleted Thank you!
