Microsoft Edge, touchscreens, and reaction buttons in full site mode

This is, like, the most esoteric and minor of all possible bugs, but I just noticed it..

I'm trying out Microsoft Edge on Windows 10, and it appears that touch inputs for reactions/quoting is a bit off.

For the control action, in Chrome touching anywhere within a post's frame/box will pop up the reaction buttons.

In Microsoft Edge, if you touch inside the frame of a post, nothing happens - only quote and flag show up. However, if you long press the touch, the reaction buttons will appear. If you hold long enough for the right-click menu to appear, the reaction buttons will stay and you can click them. If you let go of the long press just prior to the right-click menu appearing, the reaction buttons may disappear. The behavior is the same in tablet or laptop mode.

I have no clue if this is related to Windows 10, Microsoft Edge, Vanilla, or some other variable. It may even be Chrome that's not acting as expected. But I just thought I'd bring it to your attention.

    Thank you. That said, we hook the touch events correctly and I'm inclined to wait until Microshit fixes whatever nonstandard whimsical changes they made to Edge touch events, or Chrome fixes their windows build (whichever it is)

    But remember, Edge is not IE, so whatever you do, don't don't blame Microsoft.

    Under the "..." menu in the upper right of Edge is a "Send Feedback" option. Every report to that does get looked at.
