Re: Some bugs and suggestions with the latest versions (Canary)
tistou I've opened the following bug to track feedback on this: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1076478 Please star that issue as that helps us keep track (at a Chromium level) the demand for investigating the issue. I'll note that the toggle is only one such solution and it may not be the way we try and solve this, if we try and solve it. I want to try and manage your expectations though, as we have to prioritize our time on the highest priority items based on feedback. And even getting a seemingly simple toggle in requires user testing, design reviews, developer time and considerations of other approaches. At any rate, I want to ensure that you know that we do value the feedback (not just Edge but the entire Chromium v-team on controls) and will take it into account during prioritization.3.3KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Some bugs and suggestions with the latest versions (Canary)
tistou Thanks for the response, and I'll continue to track feedback. To your specific example however - this is due to them over-riding within their UI the focus styles created by the platform as can be seen in their stylesheet here: This does not impact web rendered content as can be seen here on Fidelity.com Chrome Canary 84 (Left) / Edge Canary 84 (Right) If we continue to get feedback from users that they do not like the overall aesthetics we'll go back to doing some user research. Out of curiosity, if I offered you a toggle to adjust that, would you use that? I prefer - as noted in the blog and above, to have the default err on the side of being accessible. But I also understand people, even in the study, have a difference of opinion on aesthetics. We spent a lot of time across companies going over this and which direction was the best one. Let me know about the setting (btw, I'm merely brainstorming at the moment and that is only one possible solution - happy to hear others if you got 'em). Thanks for the continued feedback.3.1KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Some bugs and suggestions with the latest versions (Canary)
Thanks for the feedback. Please note that any website can override this appearance using the CSS :focus selector; so the appearance you're getting on this site is by the tech community and not the default version shipping with the browser. And regarding Chrome it will be the same starting with version 83 noted above. I will continue to track feedback, and if there is enough feedback from users that this feels broken we may consider re-working this a bit to allow for user opt in but we usually want to avoid a good accessible experience from being an opt in.3.2KViews1like7CommentsRe: Some bugs and suggestions with the latest versions (Canary)
With regards to the black bar on focusable elements this change is by design and was tested with end users. From an aesthetics perspective the change was roughly a 50/50 split for/against but it was more preferred by users that have a need for higher contrast colors. Because of our focus on accessibility we decided that it broke the tie. We go over this change in our https://blogs.windows.com/msedgedev/2019/10/15/form-controls-microsoft-edge-chromium/ about the updated form controls. This change has landed in Chromium itself and will be visible in Chrome started in https://blog.chromium.org/2020/03/updates-to-form-controls-and-focus.html. And Firefox is also https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1626512 aligning with our adjustment too due to the accessibility benefits. Thanks as always for the feedback and please keep it coming.4.8KViews2likes10CommentsRe: Font size and formating changes between Chrome and Edge based on Chromium
SannaInc Thank you so much for reaching out. After reaching out to the company regarding this site we were able to give this page a test-drive and it no longer repros in Edge 78.0.277, below is a comparison of Edge Canary & Chrome Canary: Chrome is left, Edge is right If you can make sure your Edge version is up to date and then test it again and let me know if it still repros. Thank you.2.7KViews0likes3CommentsInitial thoughts on standardizing form controls
We've begun doing some investigations into solving a common pain point for web developers, form controls. I've written up a summary of what research the team has done, some data to support the reason to consider working in this space and what are potential next steps may be. Read the blog post https://www.gwhitworth.com/blog/2019/07/form-controls-components/ and let me know your thoughts.764Views1like0CommentsRe: Watercolor Effect rendering bug on New Microsoft Edge
mancerrss Thanks for providing this. Any chance you can also share this via the "Send Feedback" button as this will provide us with more details. Additionally, this will aid allowing dupes from users to be collated which may aid in us determing the core issue. I noticed that you have Chrome Canary on your box as well, are you experiencing the same issue there? Additionally, do you mind installing Edge Canary to see if that also continues to repro the issue? Thanks!1.3KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Black fonts are more gray than black
BruceLH Sergio Hernandez Thank you so much for this feedback. You're not being picky at all, this is one that we actually addressed in EdgeHTML in 2016. We're actively investigating this space to understand further the design decisions made by the Chromium community. Thanks again for your feedback; keep it coming!3.3KViews0likes1CommentRe: Rendering fonts in a Blink (Chrome) engine-based Edge.
Deleted Thank you so much for reaching out and providing this feedback! This is one area that we are aware of and also some of the design decisions that went into the decisions made in the past by Chromium in this area. We are actively investigating this space on how best to possibly address this as there are some areas where it is very evident and this does impact the overall end-user experience. Again, thank you so much for sharing it.1.4KViews1like0Comments
