And there's a fix for the cutoff on 64-bit Chromium, excellent. The only issue I have with 64-bit Chromium builds now is the constant Flash crashes. Does anyone know if there's a 64-bit Pepper Flash plugin (dll file + manifest) available for download yet? I was thinking 64-bit Canary would have one but since they pulled the 64-bit builds, I can't find it yet. =\

I've noticed for the last few days that the custom order of extension icons next to the address bar doesn't always remember correctly, depending on the extensions used. I use the following three extensions;

 

 
No matter how I try to arrange them, when I close the browser the order changes/resets on next start. Will have to search the issues list when I get the time.

Order doesn't change for me, just starts as if I had them all hidden and have to drag the omnibox over to show them, not deal breaker considering it's the Dev version

Complete DirectWrite support might ship with M37 or 38, the guys are still hard at work on it.

Yeah I've been holding off using it for now since its still got a few sizable issues, mainly monospace fonts are rendered poorly (bug 356823), and it doesn't handle font weights correctly for some fonts (such as segoe ui), waiting patiently for improvements :) chrome's font rendering has been a pet peeve of mine for a while now (along with lack of smooth scrolling).

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By +samw61 · Posted

      I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.

      I mean, the old one was broken and so stupidly complex for many users, so I don't see that as a feasible option. A context menu needs to be simple to use, and for me the Windows 11 style actually worked really well for me, and many others. I used to have to scroll the damn context menu just to get to "file properties" in Windows 10. That was not a good experience, and I'm sure you'd agree. What they're trying to do is make it the best of both worlds, as clearly you'd prefer the Win10 style. I'm curious how they're going to do this.

      The "Show more options" has its place, as does the simpler context menu, but it should perhaps be a separate fly-out rather than relaunching the entire, old context menu. The old context menu was getting absurd in Windows 10. Often I'd have to make the context menu scroll just to get to "File properties" on my old laptop. Even without much installed, the amount of items was just too much. It's a context menu, not a "do all" menu. Making it configurable is fraught with challenges too, so I'm interested to see how Microsoft tackles this one.

      I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
