I'll settle for 2018. The real interesting part will be seeing how they handle it and if they even do anything about it. I don't think they turn out bug fixes within a few days or less like I often do.
Wow... still not fixed in Microsoft EdgeHTML 14.14393.
And on another interesting note, I chose the option in Edge's menu to 'Send Feedback' to report this issue again and it opens a new 'Feedback Hub' window and just sits there and spins forever. I guess they really don't want feedback.
UPDATE: It's the next morning so after waiting overnight plus several hours I think I'll go ahead and close the window as it's still spinning.
As reported earlier this week, Microsoft is going to use Google's Blink rendering engine and V8 JavaScript engine in its Edge browser, largely ending development of its own EdgeHTML rendering engine and Chakra JavaScript engine. This means that Microsoft will be using code from—and making contributions to—the Chromium open source project.
The company's browser will still be named Edge and should retain the current look and feel. The decision to switch was motivated primarily by compatibility problems: Web developers increasingly test their pages exclusively in Chrome, which has put Edge at a significant disadvantage. Microsoft's engineers have found that problematic pages could often be made Edge compatible with only very minor alterations, but because Web devs aren't using Edge at all, they don't even know that they need to change anything.

You posted that back in April of 2016.... and I think you were right!
It's been awhile and I just tested again and it looks like it's fixed in Edge/18.18362... and it's 2020! Apparently this version of the Edge browser is "Microsoft Edge version 44 with EdgeHTML 18".
I was thinking it was going to have to wait until the new Chromium based Edge browser but it looks like they fixed it before then.
So I suppose you could say it took Microsoft almost 5 years to fix it. Of course Internet Explorer is still broken but that's not surprising.
