Line Focus within Immersive Reader in Edge has vanished?

Question

Line Focus within Immersive Reader in Edge has vanished, why? I can enter Immersive Reader mode but why has the option for Line Focus been removed from settings?

Hi Craig Smith,

I understand how frustrating this can be, especially if you regularly rely on Line Focus when reading in Microsoft Edge.

 Please note that this is a user-to-user support forum. Moderators, contributors including external Microsoft employees cannot directly intervene in Microsoft product features or access back-end systems. My role is limited to providing technical guidance on reported issues, requests, or ideas

Please make sure Edge is fully updated by going to Settings and more (...) > Help and feedback > About Microsoft Edge. You can also try opening a regular article page in an InPrivate window and pressing F9 to check whether the full Immersive Reader toolbar appears there.

If Line Focus is still missing, I recommend sending feedback through Settings and more (...) > Help and feedback > Send feedback. Please include your Edge version and a screenshot, as this will help the Edge team review the current behavior. Thank you so much for your understanding.
