As of January 3rd, 2018, Microsoft Connect is no longer in service [1] and as such IE bug tracker links don't work anymore. It doesn't seem like the tracker was migrated anywhere; it was just shut down (probably because they aren't fixing anything but the most critical bugs). Although its usefulness is limited because the bug wont be fixed, I think the bug tracking page may still be good for people to see this fact. I've updated the link to the latest archived version from the Wayback Machine. [1]: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/collaborate/connect-redirect

This fixes a broken link by replacing it with the Wayback Machine version. This is similar to the fix in philipwalton#257 but note that the bug trackers are different: the previous fix was for a link to an Internet Explorer bug tracker, while this fix is for a link to an EdgeHTML bug tracker (which apparently also accepted bug reports for IE). Presumably Microsoft discontinued this bug tracker when Edge switched to Chromium for its browser engine.
