  1. Open Microsoft Edge.
  2. Open any website (the Edge start page also reproduces the issue).
  3. Open DevTools (F12).
  4. Enable Device Emulation (Ctrl + Shift + M).
  5. Long-press (hold left mouse button for approximately one second) on an interactive element such as:
  6. One of two things happens:
    • the context menu opens, or
    • the page becomes unresponsive.
  7. When the issue occurs, the tab no longer responds to clicks on page elements.
  8. Keyboard refresh shortcuts such as F5 and Ctrl+R have no effect.
  9. The page can only be recovered by clicking the browser reload button or closing the tab.
  • Reproduced on multiple unrelated websites.
  • Reproduced on the Edge start page.
  • Reproduced with links, buttons, and linked images.
  • Appears unrelated to website-specific code.
  • When the issue occurs on hyperlinks, the link text is briefly selected before the page becomes unresponsive.
  • The issue only occurs while Device Emulation is enabled. (Any dimension)
  • Normal desktop browsing is unaffected.
