Never allow malicious tabs/pages to create modal dialogs that cannot be dismissed
Edge should prevent a page from repeatedly popping up modal dialogs that block action on the current or other tabs. In IE 11, it is possible for a page to pop up a modal OS dialog window, and upon attempting to close that window, simply re-open it. I experienced this today with a rogue fake virus warning page, and had to kill the entire IE process to get rid of the dialog. Simply unacceptable from a security standpoint.

Support propery 'selectionDirection' for input and textarea
http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec-preview/textFieldSelection.html
I used to use the el.createTextSelection method to determine the selection direction in IE11. However, inputs and textareas no longer expose this method, while still the el.selectionDirection = undefined.
We don't have any way to determine selectionDirection now.52 votesthe selectionDirection property for input elements shipped in EdgeHTML 13 as part of the Microsoft Edge version included in Windows 10 build 10586 (November 2015).

Create 64-bit versions of http://dev.modern.ie/ virtual machines
Please create 64-bit VM's (i.e. the free VM's that have different OS and IE versions and last three months before "expiring").
Even on a very fast machine, the http://dev.modern.ie/ virtual machines are slower than they could be due to their 32-bit OS.
So making a 64-bit set available would increase productivity for many users of these VM's.
Another reason for 64-bit VM's is for the ability to test on 64-bit machines (I've seen this mentioned on other message boards about modern.ie VM's).
THANK YOU for providing VM's!
28 votesThe Microsoft Edge / Win 10 VMs released today on dev.modern.ie/tools/vms/ are 64bit.

Support for the ImageData constructor

This has been implemented in Firefox (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=959958) and Chromium (https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=338804). Support in IE would be great.

We need a forum for Microsoft Edge
Since Microsoft Edge is a new browser product, with many distinct differences from Internet Explorer, as well as many new features previously unknown in a Microsoft browser, we need an Edge forum to discuss issues and solutions, and where users can get many of their questions answered.

GPO for legacy sites and start IE
Enterprise customers will have to support legacy IE applications for the foreseeable future. We have applications that uses components from 10 years ago and where the supplier does not exist anymore.
From the usability point of view we want to use Edge as default browser. I also think that splitting IE and Edge is the only way forward. However we need a solution to open certain sites in a specific browser. A GPO with an entry like trusted sites that we can manage would be the preferred solution for us. If we have Edge as default browser it could launch…1 voteThis capability is available with Microsoft Edge and IE on Windows 10.

Support new cursor properties of CSS3 to enhance usability
You should implement the new cursor properties of CSS3 http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-ui/#cursor, e. g. grab, grabbing, zoom-in and zoom-out to make websites more user friendly.
Other browsers support the new properties since a long time https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/cursor#Browser_compatibility.

support document.currentScript property
I looking for a way to know where has my script been loaded.
The most suprising thing that I could emulate this property through script.readyState, but until IE10, later it has been removed.

Don't clear placeholder unless there is text
Small, but annoying issue. In Chrome and Firefox focusing an input doesn't clear the placeholder; it only gets cleared when there is text. In IE, it clears when you focus.
This is especially annoying if you want to automatically focus a field and you're using placeholders for labeling your elements since the field you focused is no longer labeled :(
