User Interface (UI)
3 TopicsThe taller address bar is distracting and takes too much screen space
I woke up today with my Edge browser's address bar looking horrendous. It is much taller and taking a lot of space from my screen. Also, there isn't a way to revert this. What is wrong with Edge's UI team decisions lately? Why is the UI changing in places that don't need to? Why the out of the box UI is so bloated? I find the Edge UI perfect, but after tweaks (hiding vertical tabs and the side bar - these should be hidden by default. And turning off the new side and bottom corners that also eat screen space and are hidden under a toggle that doesn't have very clear language). This is so frustrating and is keeping me from being productive. I can't help but keep looking at the new address bar. At least give me options. Feature-wise, I feel that Edge is always improving. But the UI keeps changing without any reason. Some Fluent touches were nice, but these latest changes are not good.768Views0likes0CommentsWhen clicking on notifications, Teams preview incorrectly opens the chat in a new window
This is a long standing defect in the preview client that has existed since launch. When a new chat message notification appears (i.e. windows notification) and I click on the notification to go to the chat, but instead of going to the chat in the teams main window, it spawns a new pop out chat window. I have the "Open new chat in" option set to "Main window". The expected behavior would be to open the chat using the user preference, which in my case is Main window. The result of this incorrect behavior is if I click on the notification (out of habit because thats what notifications are for) then it pops a new window which I then have to close, after which I manually pop the main window and then find the chat in question. This defeats the entire point of the notification which is quick access to the chat in question. Its incredibly obnoxious. Theres also a bug in the teams feedback that flags this as expected behavior which is not correct.
