Microsoft Edge window.open() not honoring width height, and opens in background

I'm on Windows 10 preview Build 10130, and the window.open method in the new Edge browser isn't behaving as per the specification.

If you use the example code in https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms536651(v=vs.85).aspx, and click to open a new window, it will open a new window in the background, and will completely ignore the width and height.

<!DOCTYPE html>
    <html>
    <head>
      <title>window.open()</title>
      <style>
        html, body {
            width: 100%;
            height: 100%;
            border: 1px solid black;
        }
        </style>
    </head>
    <body onclick="myOpen();">
      <p>Click this page and window.open() is called.</p>
      <script>
        function myOpen() {
          window.open("Sample.htm", null, "height=200, width=400, status=yes, toolbar=no, menubar=no, location=no");
        }
      </script>
    </body>
    </html>

Anyone else see this issue? http://jsfiddle.net/TylerH/c91hcoum/2/

If the height is higher than the screen (including the browser fluff), the window will be maximized. This is different than the behavior using IE 9, 10, 11.

This is with RTM Win10 Edge.

The open method documentation and sample code in the URL you shared is aimed at IE and has not been updated yet for Edge. As i have noticed while reading through that page. Edge is still being polished and refined while we are in the insider preview mode. On Build 10162, I got it working here on this JSFiddle http://jsfiddle.net/RamiSarieddine/wu09fh1d/

window.open("http://dev.modern.ie/community/","_blank","height=500,width=500,scrollbars=yes,location=yes");

you can see the window opening with height 500, width 300 with a scroll bar, mini-maximize and close button. Check the screenshot below.

enter image description here

window.open("http://dev.modern.ie/community/","_blank","height=500,width=500,scrollbars=yes,location=yes");
