UI overflow in extension permission dialog on linux gnome (48+)

Hello @Joseph Wathika ,

I’d treat this as a UI layout/scaling issue in Edge Dev on Linux, especially because the problem appears before the extension is installed and inside the browser’s own permission dialog.

There is also a similar GitHub report here: MicrosoftEdge/MSEdgeExplainers#1174. It is not the exact same environment as yours, but the failure mode is close enough that I’d include it as supporting evidence.

Since you’re on Edge Dev 149.0.3993.0, I would not assume this is expected behavior. Dev builds can pick up UI regressions before they reach Beta or Stable.

For now, I’d check these specifically:

• Whether the same overflow happens with display scaling set to 100%.
• Whether it differs between Wayland and X11.
• Whether the same extension prompt renders correctly in Edge Stable or Beta on the same machine.
• Whether GNOME text scaling is above 1.0.
• If you can reproduce it reliably, the most useful next step is to send feedback from Edge using ... > Help and feedback > Send feedback, include a screenshot, and mention this exact build number: 149.0.3993.0 dev 64-bit. Also include your distro, GNOME version, display scaling value, and whether the session is Wayland or X11.

I hope this clarifies your issue. If you found this informative, please consider leaving a feedback through this guide.

Thank you.
