Every bug we know about — ours and upstream's — with its status and what we're doing about it. No silent known-issues list buried in a wiki. If you hit something that isn't here, file it: the tracker is open and we'd rather hear it from you than discover it ourselves.
upstream issues affecting navi
navi builds on other people's software — Debian, Chromium, Microsoft Edge, GTK. When upstream breaks, our users feel it. So we file evidence-rich reports, track them publicly, and say plainly what each one blocks. This is what upstream citizenship looks like from the distro side.
EDGE-LINUX-001Copilot toolbar button does nothing on Linux
reported upstream
What's broken: in Microsoft Edge on Linux, the Copilot toolbar button is present but non-functional — clicking it does nothing. The feature works on other platforms, so this is a Linux-specific gap, not a disabled feature.
What we've done: submitted through Edge's built-in feedback system on 23 September 2026 with a screenshot, a screen recording, and a detailed write-up, identifying as a navi maintainer evaluating Edge as a reliable distro browser option. The full submission is logged in our public Edge-on-Linux feedback tracker.
Update — likely root cause: community reports indicate the Linux build ships without the HubApps profile file the Copilot sidebar needs — placing it in ~/.config/microsoft-edge/Default/ restores the sidebar. That reframes this from "button does nothing" to a Linux packaging gap, which is a much more actionable report. The same symptoms are tracked publicly at MicrosoftEdge/DevTools#278 across Mint, NixOS, Fedora, and Arch. We're folding both into our tracker. (We're not shipping the manual file-drop as a fix — downloading an unsigned profile file from a stranger's dotfiles repo is not something a distro should bless.)
What it blocks: nothing we ship — Edge is an evaluated option, not a default. But it matters for the evaluation: a flagship AI feature dead on arrival on Linux is exactly the kind of paper cut that keeps a browser out of a distro's recommendations.
EDGE-LINUX-002"Use system title bar and borders" has no effect on Linux
reported upstream
What's broken: enabling Use system title bar and borders in Edge's appearance settings produces no visual change on Linux. The toggle exists, the window ignores it.
What we've done: submitted alongside EDGE-LINUX-001 on 23 September 2026, same evidence package, same public log. Two issues, one submission session.
What it blocks: desktop integration. navi is a coherent desktop; a browser that can't hand its window chrome to the system compositor is a browser that always looks slightly foreign. Small, visible, fixable.
navi's own issues
Our bugs, owned. Fixes land on the eiri channel first and ride toward stable when they're proven on real hardware.
NAVI-MOD-001launching a mod steals focus from a floating window behind it
known
What's happening: launching a mod while another window is already floating also centers the pre-existing window behind it. The likely cause is overly broad match criteria in mod-open.sh.
What we're doing: nothing, for now — deliberately. The common case (no floating window behind the launch) works correctly, and we'd rather not churn the launcher on a cosmetic edge case while bigger eiri work is in flight. It's documented here so nobody has to rediscover it.
NAVI-OSD-001volume OSD daemon can serve a stale UI after updates
fixed
What was happening: the volume OSD is a single-flight daemon, so replacing its script didn't replace the running server — the old code kept serving the old UI and a real fix looked broken on updated machines.
What we did: the daemon now self-retires stale servers — a pidfile carrying the script's code id, a client-side staleness check before connecting, and /proc cmdline verification before signaling anything.
Confirmed fixed on real hardware, 23 September 2026 — updates now show the new UI immediately.
NAVI-WAYBAR-001waybar neon color cycling
fixed
What was new: waybar text and pill borders animate through the nightshadeNeon cycle — cyan to pink to green — with state cues (battery warnings, mute, idle inhibitor) keeping their solid colors via animation: none.
Confirmed fixed on real hardware, 23 September 2026 — working as expected and looking beautiful.

The full tracker lives on GitHub — every issue, every discussion, open to everyone:

What makes a report actionable:
- Channel and version — mika stable (which release) or eiri (which date you last updated).
- Hardware — machine, or at least CPU/GPU. navi keeps old hardware useful, so old hardware reports are welcome, not embarrassing.
- Steps to reproduce — what you did, what you expected, what happened instead.
- Evidence — screenshots and screen recordings. They're how we file our own reports — see the Edge submissions above.
On the eiri channel, rough edges are expected — reporting them is contributing. On stable, a bug report is a gift: it means someone cared enough to tell us instead of quietly switching distros.
