Multiple UI and Input Issues in Edge for Android

Robin S 56

Hi everyone,

I'm experiencing several frustrating issues with Microsoft Edge on Android (version 141.0.3537.91), and I’m hoping someone can help or confirm if these are known bugs.

Device & OS Info:

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5

Android 16 with One UI 8

Issues:

Webpages appear half dark: Some websites load with half the screen in a dark overlay. It’s not consistent and seems unrelated to dark mode settings. I’ve attached a screenshot for reference.

Address bar typing bug: Occasionally, I can’t type in the address bar. I have to switch tabs or exit and re-enter the tab before the keyboard responds.

Keyboard overlapping input fields: On websites like Outlook Web and Copilot Web, the keyboard covers the text input field. Even after dismissing the keyboard, tapping the field again causes it to reappear and overlap the input area.

Missing text selection popup: When selecting text, the usual popup with “Cut”, “Copy”, “Paste”, and “Select All” doesn’t appear. This might be an Android issue, but it’s happening frequently in Edge.

Troubleshooting steps I’ve already tried:

Cleared app data and cache

Reinstalled Edge

Restarted the phone

I’ve recently upgraded from older Samsung models (S6 → S9 → Z Flip 5), and while the feature set has grown impressively, I’m also seeing more bugs and glitches than ever before.

Would appreciate any insights, fixes, or confirmation from others experiencing similar problems.

Thanks in advance!

Hi, I've got the exact same issues. The half black pages are totally annoying. The keyboard overlapping text input drove me crazy. I couldn't use chatgpt web anymore because of this. I ended up installing the full chatgpt app! I really wonder why there is hardly any outrage about these issues. Galaxy S23+ Android 16 One UI 8 here.

I honestly don’t understand why more people aren’t speaking up about these issues online. It’s completely unworkable.

I suspect the majority of users aren’t “superusers” — they mostly rely on apps rather than the web, or they simply find a workaround, give up, or never even discover this community to report the problem. Let’s be real: big tech companies like Microsoft are practically unreachable when it comes to customer support.

It’s honestly sad to see the current state of web pages and apps. Just now, on Edge for Windows 11, I tried logging into Copilot with my Microsoft account. My session wouldn’t load. I clicked “Sign in” again — nothing happened. I had to close Edge entirely, log in via Google or Apple first, then come back and sign in with Microsoft just to get Copilot working. What is going on?

I have an S22 Ultra and Edge is doing the same thing on my phone. Searches result in only the top half of the screen showing any graphics. The bottom half is completely blacked out.

I experience the same issue on my S24 ultra. But I am not sure if the amount of Samsung phones with this issue is a testament to the market share, or if this is an issue only on Samsung?

I've got exact the same problem with my Google Pixel 8. This bug makes the app unworkable.

I also have this exact same issue. I am running a Pixel 9 Pro XL with Android 16.

Same here, I have an S23 and only the top half of the page shows on a Google search until the page is fully loaded and I scroll to the bottom, been happening now for about 2 weeks. Can someone please fix edge on Samsung?

Same problems on Pixel 9 Pro XL, except the half lower page is white instead of black. Typing is so annoying with Edge, keyboard hides the chat window very often and scroll bar does not work. This is clearly a bug since it's resolved with the latest beta.

Another issue I’m experiencing — and I’d like to share it in case someone has a solution — is that in all versions of Microsoft Edge, certain website menus don’t expand or respond properly.

For example, in Outlook Web, when I open an email and click the arrow that’s supposed to take me back to the inbox, it often doesn’t work. Similarly, I sometimes can’t dismiss cookie walls or open dropdown menus on various sites.

I don’t have any extensions installed, so that’s not the cause. This behavior is consistent across stable and beta versions of Edge.
