I am using IE10 from Windows 8 RTM. I cannot press enter and go to next line. This does not work while creating or modifying a post. Anyone with this issue?

AFAIK it's a known issue here on neowin atm

I personally don't know if it's an IPB bug or just a neowin bug, if it's IPB related there's not much neowin can do till the next update

Yeah I get the thing where you can't press enter, just gotta turn off WYSIG mode (going back to plain text) then you can press enter so it might be a simple (temporary) fix for now at least.

It wasn't that way on RP or CP AFAIK.

Not just on IE10, happens in Chrome sometimes as well. Although pressing shift + enter works in Chrome whereas it doesn't in IE10

When you start typing here in the quick reply window, there's a little switch on the top left of the box. Click that to turn it off and you can always turn it back on without losing anything typed.

I wasn?t having this problem until a few weeks ago. You can temporarily resolve the issue by forcing IE into in a specific compatibility mode. For me the issue happens because the browser is defaulting to IE9 mode with IE10 standards.

1. Press F12 to enter Developer Mode.

2. Set Menu "Browser Mode" to "Internet Explorer 9"

3. Set Menu "Document Mode" to "Internet Explorer 9 standards"

Otherwise set both "Browser Mode" and "Document Mode" to "Internet Explorer 10" values, however the full editor will act a bit buggy when fully in IE10 render mode.

Long term, the issue can be resolved by neowin forcing IE10 into a specific render mode, or eventually Microsoft may add it to a compatibility mode update. (http://msdn.microsof...y/cc288325.aspx) Its also possible that the compatibility update for IE10 already exists, but only for RTM.

This bites. they only offer IE10 for windows 8? am i to understand that Win8 won't allow for other browsers? Sorry I'm not up on the latest but is this true?

If you're joking: LOL :D

If you're serious: erm, no, Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Rockmelt, IE, and every other browser that worked in Win 7 is still supported in Win 8 :D

No. IE10 will be released for Windows 7, and other browsers won't be allowed to access low level system API's in the RT version of Windows, they will only be allowed into the Windows 8 store if they run as fully RT code which means IE will have a significant advantage on the ARM version of Windows 8.

windows 8 can still run any browser. only on ARM machines will you be restricted to IE (unless MS eventually decides to allow other browsers in the market)

I appreciate that. If it works good and I like it, I'll definitely use it as my primary browser. I'm just surprised they haven't released a "public release" aside from Win8 public preview. but thank you

how much you wanna bet there will be a "Jailbreak" of sorts for Windows RT? :p

i personally wouldn't be surprised in the least

What has that got to do with this topic?

Anyway, cheers to whoever suggested the dev mode trick. I am forcing IE10 to run in IE9 mode and enter button now works to go to next line.

interesting.. I never knew that existed. did you have to add a /devmode to the command line or is that in the settings?

My guess is that IE10 will be released for 7 at the same time that Windows 8 reaches general release. The improvements aren't as big as from IE8 to IE9 so I wouldn't call it a must have but in UI terms not much has changed so there won't be much for you to adapt to, just a few under the hood improvements mainly :)

Oh I have no doubt people will try it, but unfortunately that will be of no value if the major browser vendors cease development on their browsers because of the restrictiveness of all of this.

Personally I have a feeling the antitrust folks may yet have something to say about it but yeah I'm sure people will try to hack them.

As I recall at one time it had to be enabled, but that was a very long time ago now I think. On at least IE9 and IE10 you just hit F12 or look under the Tools menu.

This is also what to use if you want to alter IE's user agent strings on the fly under the Developer Mode Tools menu.

I doubt they'll cease development, they'll probably even release versions to the market eventually, and it's when that happens that a "Jailbreak" of sorts will come in handy.

i expect a tweak to eventually release similar to this tweak that just released recently for iOS http://www.iphonehacks.com/2012/07/nitrous-enables-faster-nitro-javascript-engine-for-third-party-apps.html

I have a feeling that they will release neutered versions that comply with the RT guidelines just to get in the store. Which would mean there would be little advantage to a jailbreak. Of course that wouldn't stop developers trying to port the code themselves so you still have a good point

      Glad I uninstalled this incredibly buggy browser. Looking at that changelog, they clearly don't test their updates at all.

    • Microsoft further improving Windows 11 Taskbar with latest builds

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft further improving Windows 11 Taskbar with latest builds by Sayan Sen Microsoft has released new Windows 11 builds for users flighting the Experimental channels. The new builds are 26300.8758 for Windows 11 26H2, 28120.2374 for 26H1, and 29617.1000 for future platforms. There are improvements related to the Taskbar, File Explorer and more with the new update. The full changelogs are given below: First we have the build 26300.8758: Changes and improvements gradually being rolled out [Taskbar] Taskbar customization just got easier. As we continue to make improvements to the Taskbar experience mentioned last month, we've introduced a dedicated Taskbar Size setting, making it simpler to find, understand, and personalize your ideal taskbar experience. UI showing the new Taskbar Size setting in Settings. We've also made refinements to the transitions between taskbar sizes for a smoother overall experience. [File Explorer] We've improved the reliability of thumbnail previews for cloud files in the Details pane. The pane has also been reorganized so file properties are easier to find and review at a glance. Fixed an issue where the OneDrive shortcut in File Explorer stops working when File Explorer is run in administrative mode. Fixed an issue where the confirmation dialog might display an internal Recycle Bin file name instead of the original file name when permanently deleting a file. [Sounds] Improved system sounds when using Windows in dark mode. Up next we have build 28120.2374: Changes and improvements gradually being rolled out This update includes a small set of general improvements and fixes [Mobile Device Settings] You can add and manage your mobile devices in Settings under Bluetooth & Devices > Mobile Devices. On this page, you can manage features such as using your device as a connected camera or accessing your device's files in File Explorer. [Remote Recovery Management] Added a recovery remote management plug-in to extend WinRE management capabilities for MDM providers. [Input] The emoji panel (Windows key + period (.)) now uses GIPHY as the GIF provider, delivering a smoother GIF browsing and sharing experience following the deprecation of the Tenor API. Finally we have the changelog for Windows 11 build 29617.1000: Changes and improvements gradually being rolled out [Windows Update] As announced in the Windows Update announce blog, we are now bringing a new unified update experience to reduce the number of reboots you see per month. We are starting by coordinating driver, .NET, and firmware updates to align with the monthly quality update, reducing the update experience to a single monthly restart. See the blog for more information. [Windows Magnifier] Magnifier now gives you more control over how you zoom. You can type an exact zoom percentage directly in the magnifier toolbar to land on precisely the level you need. We've also added preset step increments (5%, 10%, 25%, 50%, 100%, 150%, 200%, and 400%) to the Settings dropdown, so you can jump to common levels in a single click. Whether you need a subtle boost or a dramatic close-up, Magnifier adapts to how you want to zoom. Enter an exact percentage or jump to preset steps —5% up to 400%. Feedback: Share your thoughts in Feedback Hub (WIN + F) under Accessibility > Magnifier. [Accessibility] We're introducing screen tint, a new accessibility setting that applies a color overlay across your entire display, softening its intensity so it's easier on your eyes throughout the day. If bright, saturated screens leave you with tired or sensitive eyes by the end of a long session, screen tint can help. Screenshot showing UI for screen tint in Accessibility, with color presets and a strength slider. To get started, open Settings > Accessibility (or press WIN + U) and look for screen tint under the Vision section. From there, you can: Pick from six preset colors or choose a custom color of your own. Adjust the tint strength slider from a subtle wash to full intensity. Night light warms your display to reduce blue light that can interfere with sleep. Screen tint reduces overall screen intensity to ease eye fatigue and light sensitivity during the day. They tackle different problems and you can use both at the same time, one working on warmth and the other on intensity. Note that turning on screen tint will disable color filters, and vice versa. If you currently rely on color filters, you might need to keep screen tint turned off. Feedback: Share your thoughts in Feedback Hub (WIN + F) under Accessibility > Narrator. [Voice Access] Voice Access now supports Portuguese (Portugal), Portuguese (Brazil), and Korean (South Korea). [Audio] Continuing our work on improving Sound Settings, we've made a few more updates in this build: We've adjusted the description text for the Allow option in properties for audio devices to include the current state of the device, to improve the clarity of the text and the purpose of the button actions. "Listen to this device" is now available in properties for audio devices, so you don't need to enter Control Panel for this functionality. [Multiple Desktops] Improved explorer reliability when switching between multiple desktops. [Storage] We've updated the dialog when creating a Dev Drive to now support specifying the size in GB instead of only MB. This has also been added when changing the size of volumes under Settings > System > Storage. [Personalization] This update improves color selection accuracy when adjusting your accent color to match your wallpaper when automatic accent color selection is enabled in Personalization settings. This update improves wallpaper persistence reliability across restarts and upgrades, including better support for large-resolution wallpapers and other scenarios to prevent solid color wallpaper fallback. [Display and Graphics] Improves the reliability and persistence of applying color profiles. You can view the official blog posts here (link1, link2, link3) on Microsoft's site.
