Updates June 10th:
- First, we’re adding a new item this week! Add option to remove previous search terms from the New Tab Page’s search box auto-suggestion list is currently Under Review. We’ve heard from users like yourselves that you are looking for the search bar on the new tab page to have the option to clear previous search terms. The team is reviewing this, and we’ll provide updates as we get them.
- We’re really excited to announce that one item is moving to Addressed, Support read aloud of PDF files. Fawkes posted an article from the team about how to try out the feature in our Dev and Canary channels. Have more feedback about this feature? Please drop a note in that thread or submit feedback via the in-app feedback tool. Thanks to everyone who submitted feedback in the past about this so the team can understand where you’re coming from when you use the read aloud feature!
- Additionally, we’re ready to move Bring the Ask Cortana feature from the current version of Microsoft Edge from In Discussion to Planned. We encourage you to review the new sidebar search option that we recently implemented. Please give us your thoughts on this feature over in the thread Maryam posted a couple weeks ago.
- Lastly, we are moving Mouse cursor sometimes disappears from In Discussion to Planned for June. We’ve recently implemented improvements that we feel cover a lot of the issues users have reported seeing, however we encourage you to submit feedback via the browser if you still notice issues with your mouse cursor disappearing. It’s important to note that your mouse cursor should disappear if you are watching a video or if you are using a trackpad. Head over to the discussion thread to let Clay and team know if you’re seeing this still.
Updates June 18:
We have four items being added to our Planned status, three of which are brand new! For the fourth item, Provide run / open / save / save as options when downloading files is moving from In Discussion to Planned. We’ll update this once we know more about when we expect it will be implemented, so keep an eye out for updates.
The first new item this week is something we’ve seen feedback on regarding privacy: Enable automatic generation of strong passwords. Up next, Support two-page layout in PDF reader is something we’ve seen from users lately following our recent updates to PDFs. Lastly, we’ve noticed a trend in reports of settings not being honored, so we are adding Edge launches with previous session’s tabs when “On startup” setting is set to “Open a new tab” to the list this week. You can expect more updates for these items here first as we get them.
Updates June 24
First up, we are considering Mouse cursor disappears sometimes as Addressed. We’ve implemented several fixes for this and have seen reports drop since then. That being said, if your mouse cursor disappears outside of when you are watching a video or using a touchpad, please do submit feedback through the browser so that the team can investigate again. Thanks so much to everyone who submitted feedback around this; it truly does help us solve these issues.
This week, we’ve decided to add a new Status – Alternative Planned. This is to let the community know that while we aren’t addressing the feedback directly, we have something else in the works that we consider a replacement for the item. This way we can be clear about our plans around your feedback.
Definitions:
- Addressed – Changes to address this feedback are visible to all users in the Canary and Dev channels
- Not Planned – We don’t currently plan to address this feedback, though we will continue to track it and reconsider our approach if needed.
- Planned for… – We’re working on this and currently plan for it to be addressed in the Canary channel before the end of the month indicated.
- Planned - We have reviewed this feedback and have a plan to address it. However, we aren't ready to share a target time frame just yet.
- In Discussion – We’ve reviewed this feedback and to learn more we have started a discussion about it here in the Microsoft Edge Insider Forum.
- Under Review – We are reviewing this feedback internally and do not have a plan to share at this time.
- Quality Area – We will give extra weight to fixes and opportunities in this area. Please continue to report specific bugs and make specific asks.
*Updates mean the addressed items are live in Dev and Canary Channels of Microsoft Edge in the week. It would be shipped to stable in the next release.
