last version 147 has copilot chat finally working, but for some reason in 148 its no longer working

what happened?

@hii I also had screen flickering when hovering over elements with "title" set. I managed to fix this completely by supplying the --ozone-platform=x11 flag to the edge executable. I use this fish function to patch .desktop files after any update.

#!/usr/bin/env fish

function patch-microsoft-edge --description "Path Microsoft Edge .desktop files to remove screen flicker when hovering over elements with 'title' set"
    set edge_desktop_paths (find {~/.local,/usr}/share/applications/ -regex '.*[Ee]dge.*')
    sudo sd '(Exec=[a-zA-Z/0-9_-]*) ' '$1 --ozone-platform=x11 ' $edge_desktop_paths
    sudo sd -- '--ozone-platform=x11 (.*)--ozone-platform=x11' '--ozone-platform=x11 $1' $edge_desktop_paths
    printf '%s\n' 'Patched:' $edge_desktop_paths
end

An equivalent bash script might look like this:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

EDGE_DESKTOP_PATHS=$(find {~/.local,/usr}/share/applications/ -regex '.*[Ee]dge.*')
sudo sd '(Exec=[a-zA-Z/0-9_-]*) ' '$1 --ozone-platform=x11 ' $EDGE_DESKTOP_PATHS
sudo sd -- '--ozone-platform=x11 (.*)--ozone-platform=x11' '--ozone-platform=x11 $1' $EDGE_DESKTOP_PATHS
printf '%s\n' 'Patched:' $edge_desktop_paths

```

Got error downloading the bin: curl: (35) Recv failure: Connection reset by peer. The beta version will download though. I think they've removed the stable version for Linux.

When I try hiding copilot from the inteface it opens an empty settings page in Edge that contains the toggle to hide the copilot icon, in the Windows version this is not a problem, am I missing something here?

I was running into an issue with setting the theme to dark and having it go back to the light theme after restarting the browser. (Supposedly it's a known bug / issue with Edge). I found out that the if you downgrade to Version 143.0.3650.139, the bug is gone. It's currently set to dark theme and, haven't had any problems with it resetting itself. I have it set to not upgrade any further than Version 143.0.3650.139. Hopefully they can sort it out and I can upgrade eventually. Hope this helps, if anyone runs into this problem.

@numerior, thank you. Just update it to 145.0.3800.97-1 and the dark mode is already fixed.

Hopefully there's no this kind of error in the future...

dark mode persists normally now on 145.0.3800.97-1

New update and the dark mode bug still persist.

In the end, I downgraded it to version Version 143.0.3650.139. Gotta ignore this package update until there are fixes to this bug from microsoft.

Looks like this bug started from version 144.x

@sir_anwrap - Yes, I'm experiencing this issue too. At first, I thought it was KDE bug, since there are bug like this too on version 6.6.0 but it's getting patched on 6.6.1. But now, since you said it, I think it's the edge problem. The problem exist with latest update, I guess, since the version before this is working fine.

Hopefully it will get fixed soon with incoming update, since it's kinda annoying to always manually set the color scheme.
