Drop-down list has no visual borders in remote sessions
Using Edge Chromium in a remote session the borders of a drop-down menu aren't visible. This probably is dependent on a visual setting in Windows itself, but Chrome doesn't have an issue with it. Example drop down:https://www.w3schools.com/tags/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_selectChromium messed up, how is Microsoft handling this?
This week there was released an expiremental feature that messes with browser usage in remote desktop situations, more details found here:https://www.theverge.com/platform/amp/2019/11/15/20966237/google-chrome-white-tab-screen-crash-experiment-it-admins This was also an issue for the Edge Chromium browser, because it is using the same engine I suppose. How is Microsoft going to handle this? It doesn't feel quite comfortable that Google is able to adjust the new Edge browser remotely.UserDataDir can't handle OS variables
I filled "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge" "UserDataDir" with value "%appdata%\Microsoft\EdgeData" but after launching Edge it gives an error that Edge can't create the directory. Created it in the same user context without an issue, but even then it is not working. Pointing it to a hard coded path like C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\EdgeData seems to work (but I can't predict the value of %appdata%). Same behavior for the DiskCacheDir setting. I saw "${users}/${user_name}/Edge" in the example value, but $(users) also doesn't seem to work. Would be nice to use vars like %appdata%.
