@HeikoKlare , @sratz WDYT?
I'd say we wait until the flickering effect has been addressed before we push for Edge. The good news is that there is already a PR that proposes a fix: eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform.swt#1588 .

[fedejeanne]

I switched to Draft until we decide if this N&N is for RC1 or for the next M1.

[HeikoKlare]

Why should we defer this to M1 (i.e., to the news for the next release)? With the next release, we hopefully have Edge as default, so the news information will be accordingly different.

I still do not understand. We will not have that PR for the flickering be merged for the upcoming release. So if we wait for that to be merged to publish a news, we will not have any news for the upcoming release on this topic at all. That renders the work we are doing here on formulating the news useless. And I thought we had agreed on having a news on the topic for this release.

How would you inform the community about the open issue and the fact that it may cause seizures?

We could write that into the news.

Would you be open to crafting a notice so I can include it in this N&N?

[HeikoKlare]

Maybe something like this?

<p>
<b>Note:</b> Changing the size of the browser window can currently cause flickering effects, which are currently being resolved. People who are sensitive to this should therefore either not use Edge at the moment or possibly avoid resizing browser windows.

Thank you, I added your text. I put it in a box (<fieldset>) with a legend of Warning (instead of Note) and I added a subtitle too.

[HeikoKlare]

Looks good. I would prefer to have the warning box at the bottom instead of starting the section with a warning, but that may rather be personal preference.
Beyond that, only the entry in the list of improvements needs to be fixed.

[fedejeanne]

I put the warning on top on purpose so it draws more attention.
I changed the formulation so it doesn't read as "we inherited"

It is in an unmissable "warning" box already and now blocks from reading the actual, essential information (just my two cents).

Sounds good 👍

I suggest that we are not very strict in general with N&N. A entry for new stuff I good but 25 comments for an entry feels like a lot of work for only a small benefit.
