Edge New PDF Reader form security bug
Edge can not display a certain PDF under the following conditions. Edge "New PDF Viewer" feature is enabled at "edge://flags/#edge-new-pdf-viewer". A pdf is encrypted with the security setting of "Changed allowed" as "Filling in form fields and signing existing signature fields". Showing and Hiding texts with Acrobat form Javascript does not work properly. Notice: a. Adobe Reader works as expected. Chrome PDF Viewer works as expected. Firefox works as expected. Even Edge old pdf viewer works as expected. b. If a PDF is not encrypted, the same PDF works as expected. Example: https://www.shtml.jp/test/202412/edge_form_2024_security.pdf ShowText button and HideText Button does not work as expected in the case of Edge with "New PDF Viewer" enabled. The Same pdf with no security https://www.shtml.jp/test/202412/edge_form_2024_nosecurity.pdf Both ShowText button and HideText Button does work as expected in the case of Edge with "New PDF Viewer" enabled as well.Display problem

Problem with copilot and sidebar
Hello everyone, I hope this message finds you well! I recently installed Windows 10 and am using the Edge browser. However, I'm experiencing some issues: I can't open Copilot, and the sidebar doesn't seem to work. When I click the Copilot icon or press the sidebar shortcut (Ctrl + Shift + E), nothing happens. Additionally, I noticed that the sidebar settings do not show the usual options for apps and notifications. This is my first time encountering such issues, and I would appreciate any guidance or solutions. Thank you!
UI bug in Edge Stable and Edge Canary for android.
I'm currently using Edge Canary on Samsung Tab S9 +. There is a serious UI bug. Whenever I exit any video from fullscreen mode, layout of browser changes completely. I have attached two pictures for reference. In picture 1 , a youtube video is clicked and playing normally. After I click go fullscreen and I come back again to the normal player mode, layout changes completely and new buttons appear at the bottom. This looks horrendous on a tab. Otherwise Edge compatibility is very good for an android tablet . I'dlike to add that this is not specifc to youtube. This happens every time I go fullscreen and exit back from any video on any site. So this is a problem with edge, not with the website. I checked stable and canary versions. This would be in dev as well though i havent checked.Dev Channel update to 133.0.2992.0 is live.

I am a user of the beta version of Edge on Linux. From time to time, I encounter bugs that I’d like to report. After some searching, this forum is the closest I have found to a bug tracker. So I was wondering whether there’s a dedicated place for reporting bugs or should I just post here?Favorite Bars in Workspaces changed since this morning
Hi everyone! Since yesterday, all my Workspaces had their own favorite bars. When I reopened Edge this morning, I was shocked at first, because I thought my favorites had all disappeared. But it turns out they are now hidden under a folder on the left of the Favorites Bar, making it annoying and cumbersome to access them and the rest of the Favorites bar is now shared among Workspaces. I don't know if I accidentally changed an option but I couldn't find a way to revert it back to how it was. I also couldn't find any information on this being a new feature that was introduced yesterday. If it is, I really don't like it because I don't want to see my work related tabs when I am in my free time workspace and clicking an extra folder each time I want to access a workspace is really cumbersome. Has anyone else noticed this change? I really hope it is an option.😅
Sidebar apps saving not intuitive
I've just discovered browsing on the internet that it is possible to save the list of apps opened on the sidebar. I've been missing such feature for over a month. I must say the current way of making sure an app is saved is not intuitive at all. I never realized there was a tiny little horizontal bar until I read about it on the internet. There should be a button to save a given app in the sidebar, so the user can find out this feature, otherwise he/she could end up never discovering it is actually possible to save sidebar apps.Open all tabs from previous session but load only last used one
I'm used to work with a lot of tabs organized in several groups and I don't want to lose such tabs when I close and then reopen Edge. This is achievable through settings and I've no complains over it. However, when I open Edge, I expect only the last used tab to load, or at most the tabs from the last group I was using. It is absurd that all the 50+ tabs, splitted in 10+ groups, are loaded all at once, making the startup process very slow. I come from Firefox, where all the tabs from the previous session appears, but only the last used one actually loads. The other ones are loaded only once the user browse on them. The very existence of groups assumes an user is expected to keep a lot of tabs open but to work only with a very small subset of them at a given time. So it's absurd to waste resources, increase power consumption and reduce startup performances by loading all the tabs from the last session, even if most of them will probably not be used.Lateral tabs related shortcuts
I love the lateral tabs feature and the tab groups as well, I use it a lot at my work place. However, there are at least a couple of keyboard shortcuts that should be added in order to improve the user productivity: a shortcut to open a new tab in the group the current tab belong to: when I'm working with the tabs from a given group, is like I'm working with that group, and if I open a new tab, it's very likely I want to open it in that very group. a shortcut to pin/unpin lateral tabs It goes without saying that for users who need to maximize their productivity it makes a big difference to be able to carry out the most frequent tasks by means of keyboard shortcuts.
Edge container tabs
Hello everyone. One of the things I like in the Firefox is the possibility of using containers. Mozilla have two containers add-on's, Facebook Container (exclusively to the Facebook) and Multi-Account Containers. The first is used to prevent Facebook tracking our online activity by creating an isolated and exclusive environment. Where every cookie, every tracking script, APIs that Facebook creates / uses / have, are isolated inside the container. And the second, is almost the same thing as the first, works by creating an isolated environment as well, but is for any website. The containers are, a some kind, sandboxes. I'd like to see the support for this in the Edge. Microsoft need to bring this to the Edge, but in a natively way without the need of installing any extension. And the option to create a container tab can be placed next to the profile avatar, for example. By the way, Chrome/Chromium do not have support for this. This is a very very useful. About Multi-Account Containers: https://blog.mozilla.org/firefox/introducing-firefox-multi-account-containers/ I do not know if I can put this kind of links, but, if I broke any rule, I'll remove this post.Desktop slideshow doesn't work with multiple virtual desktops
To reproduce the bug: If you don't have multiple virtual desktops press Win Key + Tab and click the "New Desktop icon. Press Control key + Win Key + left arrow to go to Desktop 1. Right click on the desktop and select "Personalize" Click the "Background" panel. Select the "Slideshow" option from the drop-down box. On the "Choose a picture album for a slideshow" panel choose a folder with some pictures for the slideshow. On the "Change picture every" panel choose 1 minute from the drop-down box. On the "Shuffle the picture order" panel turn the switch to "off". On the "Choose a fit for your desktop image" choose "Fill" from the drop-down box. Dismiss the "Personalization > Background" by clicking the X at the top right of the window. Press Control key + Win Key + right arrow to go to Desktop 2. Press Control key + Win Key + left arrow to go to Desktop 1. Right click on the desktop and select "Personalize" Click the "Background" panel. You will notice that the drop-down box is showing "Picture" Windows 11 will not let you keep a slideshow if you want to move from one virtual desktop to another.Edge Workspace Error: Unable to Load
Hello Everyone 🙂 Am having an issue with Workspace on Edge running onVersion 115.0.1901.203 (Official build) (64-bit). I recently moved all tabs I had in one profile to a new profile and created different workspaces, during this process I moved a lot of tabs and there was a message that there was an issue in Sync and tabs might not be synced. I tried to log out of the browser profile and log in again and faced two issues after this: - The workspaces I created got duplicated, so before logging out I had three workspaces and after logging back to the browser profile I have 6 workspaces - All workspaces show the error when accessing them: "Error enable to load" The browser profile am using is a 365 Business account and is the admin. I tried to go over the prerequisitesbut honestly couldn't understand what I need to do. Any help is highly appreciated because the tabs I moved to workspaces are quite important for me toaccess.

Prevent Edge from opening Office files
Hi everybody I do not know if this hub is the proper place to report this problem, but I have been last hour “binging” where to and I think this one is the closest to my problem. I am a web developer for my organization. Most of my organization’s computers are behind a proxy that does not allow then to go to internet, only to intranet. I am developing a web application that needs to download an Excel xls template and every time I download this xls template, Edge tries to open it online instead of saving it locally. This is really a problem as computers cannot go internet (due to proxy) and eventually Edge is not allowed to load on-line Excel and the process fails. Is there some way to prevent Edge from opening office files from html o Javascript? As web developer I cannot push any policy to my organization's computers and I need to force Edge to download this file. I really wouldn't like to to insert a “Don’t use Edge in this site. Use Chrome instead” banner in my web app. Thank you. RegardsProblem with pdf print preview with cyrillic fonts
