Description (last modified by sebastian)

Environment

ABP 0.9.11.1849 / 0.9.13.2258
Microsoft Edge 40.15063 / 41.16299 (not reproducible in 42.17134 and above)

How to reproduce

Download a PDF and attempt to open it.
Select to view the PDF in Edge from the dialog Windows displays.
Keep selecting [Open] from the bottom dialog in Edge.
Turn off ABP in [Edge Menu] > [Extensions].
Select [Open] from the bottom dialog again in Edge.

Observed behaviour

If ABP is turned off, opening the PDF works as expected.

This is an issue on older versions of Windows 10 and should be fixed in Windows 10 April Update.

Should we then advance the minimum required version accordingly?

I would like to have a confirmation from Ross that this is indeed working now. And that it is fixed in April Update, and not Fall Creators Update, as I may be wrong which exactly update fixed the issue.

Sounds good, but we shouldn't close the issue yet. Either way a change is required, even if that change is just to update the minimum required version.

Ross, can you confirm?

comment:7 Changed on 12/06/2018 at 11:27:55 PM by Ross

This no longer seems to be an issue. I can download and open a bunch of files types in Edge as expected.

ABP 0.9.11.2206
Edge 42.17134.1.0 / EdgeHTML 17.17134 / Windows 10 (1803)

Thanks, but officially we are still supporting 16299 (Fall Creator's Update), 17134 is the (later) April Update. Ollie suspected above that this issue was addressed on their end with that update. Is there a way we can test this on Windows build 16299?

One of my VMs has build 16299, I can confirm that the bug was present in that version and fixed with the April Update (17134).

So, should we update the min version? (if we do, we should also check for dead code)

Thanks for confirming. Yeah, let's increase the minimum version (in metadata.edge) to 17134, and if there are any obsolete workarounds that are no longer needed then remove them while at it.
