Bug when opening pdfs

Hello, 

I am using the Dev version 79.0.294.1 and I noticed a strange bug: when reading papers online edge crops the last page, see screen capture in attachment. 

 

This happens with every paper I tried on Arxiv, for instance https://arxiv.org/pdf/1910.04761.pdf, as well as on other online scientific journals

    Are you on a laptop by chance?

    For some reason, on a handful of the laptops I've seen, they have this problem. I've never been able to debug why.

      Hi there, the pdf-cropping bug ye, I noticed it on my Surface Pro 6. The bookmarks thing instead happens a bit everywhere: I have synced 2 PCs, a phone and a Mac and wherever install edge dev and sync I get some random duplicate favourites.

       

      Maybe it would be good if we could access our synced data online, via our MS account, so we could edit once and for all what needs to be synced.

    Hi,

    I tried your PDF link on 2 machines on both Dev and Canary, I couldn't produce your error in either of them. both instances loaded the PDF file completely till the end, page 23rd.

     

    This is on 1st machine, Edge insider Canary

     

     

    This is on 2nd machine, Edge insider Dev

     

     

     

    This is on 3rd machine and this time it's Edge insider Beta

     

     

     

     

    Try disabling any flags you are using:  

    edge://flags/

    And clear Caches images and files and other browser data from here:  

    edge://settings/clearBrowserData

    you can try settings the browser options to defaults as well:

    edge://settings/reset
