    I still use edge as primary and can not find a fault in it.
    Try to maximize it only vertically (leaving strips on the left and/or right) Does it remember this, or switch to full screen next time?

    Not gonna go dig up all the reference posts from all over the globe, but I recall some of the rationale for rewriting Edge internals using the Chromium engine is to make it more cross-platform compatible. OS independent, much as possible. Grab more of the whole market, including Linux, Android, etc. No iPhoney stuff, of course.
    You are absolutely correct. It's for development reasons, to make life much easier for them. Better to have one standard than everybody fighting with their own one, and in the end none of them work properly.

    Goes Full Screen, but that is as easy as pressing WIN+Left or WIN+Right and you have a half screen window maximized vertically.

    EDIT: Actually I tried this on the official build, not on the insider one. Will do that next, but I doubt it will be any different.

    EDIT: Yep, behaves exactly as expected on latest IP Build too.

    I don't want it half size.... just a stripe on the left and right. Don't know why, but I always use browsers like that and any other browser let me do that. Not Edge - still using it a lot, but have to left few pixels on the top and bottom for Edge to remember it size.

    I'm bugging MS with feedback about this since...., like ever.

    Hmmm... I think Edge is working the correct way and all the other apps are doing it wrong. Full screen is fullscreen and what you are referring to is actually side by side apps (which is fullscreen with split view), and Windows does not remember that until we can officially group apps together and launch them in tandem.

    I fully understand your headache regarding this though.

    who's talking side by side? I need a stripe of free place to quickly access any notes or other apps.

    This is a problem that all UWP apps have and, as you say, it has been around for a long time.


    EDIT: If someone doesn't understand what this bug consists of, I made a gif that explains the problem.

    Hi there
    I'm sorry folks but if I'm on a computer with several large screen monitors I want RE-SIZEABLE Windows and decent cascading menus -- I don't want my computer to pretend it's just a giant mobile phone -- these UWP apps are designed for touch screens as well primarily and who wants just either full or half screen. I could have 18 different windows across say 3 screens. --Try that with mobile phones !!.

    FF still is my one of choice given that IE11 is about to give up the ghost.

    Cheers

    hmmm...I access apps via search. The side-by-side feature of Windows is what the window resizing feature using shortcut keys is designed for. If I need 12 windows across 3 screens I use shortcut keys for that to place them where I want them to be. If you need quick access to notes or certain apps, pin them to the taskbar, that is what the pin feature is designed for.

    Maybe I'm completely missing your point here...but I don't see any problems.

    Ahah...I see what you mean. Yes, there seem to be something off with the window coordinate system. I get minus x-coordinates even if the window is not outside of the screen area. This must be a bug for sure.

    The limit seems to be 5 pixels.

    EDIT: But this is not just an UWP app issue, except for the memory thing.
