I meant the CPU usage of the AV software not Vivaldi.
Please test this in a private window and/or the guest view, this except extensions and use the default settings.

Edit:

Seems like VB-103506 was indeed fixed. I did not notice because of the annoyance I had yesterday when I made this post.

It is now the left click behavior that is bugged instead, as far as I can tell. As for the Japanese keyboard issue, I have made a bug report. It's not exclusive to the address bar either, but rather any text form.

Original post:

I want to add that as of 6.7.3329.9, VB-103506 is still not fixed.
To make it even worse, version 3329.7 made this change

[Address bar] Autocomplete resets when left clicking the proposed text (VB-105465)

This change (I believe) made it to where left-clicking the address bar does not clear the selected item under certain circumstances (likely related to VB-103506). Instead of now initiating a search, it goes to that item. In regards to the steps I explained for reproducing VB-103506, it goes to the youtube video instead of searching. Video example

.

I just had the most annoying experience imaginable from a combination of issues. I was trying to search something on the address bar using a mix of English and Japanese characters. After I typed the English text and switched the windows keyboard to Japanese, the moment I began writing the browser would crash. So I tried typing the Japanese first, then the English at the front. I typed enter and because of VB-103506 I went to a reddit post instead of google. I tried again but typed the wrong way again causing the browser to crash. I reopen, do the same address bar magic to prevent a crash, press left mouse on the address bar to clear the selection, only to end up on the reddit post once again since now left clicking to clear the selection is bugged. Did another attempt before I realized the new issue.
I'll make a bug report over the Japanese keyboard crash when I can. But man the address bar issues is making me want to switch browsers lol

I open music-site with direct links *.mp3 -- all panels work good. All ** ===== SOLVED ===== **

If you want to transfer to another Windows machine, sync won't work for Mail and RSS. You'll need to copy your profile from the source computer and paste it to the target computer. It is my guess that this is only possible between the same platform, so Windows to Windows, Android o Android, etc..

At this point, because mail and RSS are not feature rich in Vivaldi, you should consider using a dedicated email client and separate RSS reader. Thunderbird and Evolution come to mind as email clients and a good web based RSS app is a great way to go as there are many options.

Finally, Your best bet for restoring your browser configuration is to make regular backups or disk images in case either your browser or OS crashes. This way you can restore, which is preferable to reinstalling.

@DoctorG
Used the "Advanced Install" all users; which installs it in "Program Files" and it enabled the ability to uncheck.

@Pesala said in Dangling Code:

VB-96604 URL to Note Lost on Updating (19/4/2024)

I updated tracker entry for cirrent 6.7 Snapshot.

@luetage Wouldn't that be as hard as the usual modifier key, though? A gesture might work (if that's not too hard on a laptop), or of course any extension that can change the target attribute of links.

@willmepsted This one confounds quite a lot of users. People are used to a fullscreen mode, but not the Toggle UI, which hides all but the Window Title bar.

@luetage Thanks again. I closed the header as you suggested, deleted and re-uploaded the script to Vivaldi, closed the browser, reopened the browser, and it still doesn't work.

app.asana.com is the prefix for Asana workspaces, so I'm afraid I can't tell you how to get access if you don't have an Asana account and workspace.

Is there a way to monitor outputs or problems with the script that I can post here, perhaps?

@DoctorG I didn't bother mentioning it because it was a really obsure niche extension that I downloaded from a third party developer that allows you to "clap" a medium post 50 times with one click. Wouldn't be relevant to anyone coming across this post.

@mib2berlin Really, what's the point of syncing 200 settings, or even extensions, if it doesn’t sync their settings too? You might as well sync a thousand settings but if I still dont have the same browser experience and need to spend hours tweaking it to match my desktop setup, then to me, that’s not true synchronization. If I install an extension on my desktop, customize it and log into it, I expect the same settings to be mirrored on my laptop. Otherwise, it's not really syncing, is it?

Also, as I mentioned, it failed to sync several settings like vertical tabs, which caught my eye immediately. Even such basic things weren't synced, and I had to do it manually. Honestly, this feels more like a beta version of syncing, not full synchronization. I'm curious if someone were to sync apps from one production environment to another as Vivaldi does, and let's say they didn't sync all user accounts, would that still be considered syncing? So, Vivaldi's syncing seems to be in beta mode because it doesn’t sync everything, and it's hardly usable unless, perhaps, all you need are bookmarks—like my grandma 😉

Would love to hear your thoughts or if anyone has found a workaround for these issues.

If you don't use sessions, you might still be able to recover lost tabs by checking the Windows panel and the closed windows / closed tabs categories

@zwiebaq I can confirm that this issue did not exist in Vivaldi 5.3.2679.70.

The issue was caused by an extension

Can you give the name, please, this will help others when they seek help here.

The extension is Link Control. (It is well-designed, easy to use, and - other than this minor issue - it has worked flawlessly for me.)

A new snapshot was released today,

You mean a Stable update!
Still waiting for Snapshot 😁

Oh right my bad I was rather hasty and didn't read our own press release right.
I was just really keen to get feedback on the changes we are making, there are a lot of moving parts in this project.

@bariton said in 6.2 - 6.6 | Slow auto-complete History suggestions:

@mib2berlin
Hi, for 6 months and forum.vivaldi.net it shows 12k entries.
But I think it is not right to use the domain to count entries. The history is here to find a page you once visited and you have to remember a part of the title or URL to use it.
Yes, I am sure the database is fast enough. According to the forum, the address bar auto complete problem is about multiple searches running in parallel when typing, and a developer is working on it.

But sorry, I did not really want to discuss that, as here is zero problems with the history, it was just a thought about avoiding duplicates of titles/URLs to reduce the DB size.

We have the multiple queries queueing up already fixed and that is coming in the next release, we still have problems with individual searches being to slow, although significant progress in that area.

Sadly I was unable to get my work ready in time to make it into the our upcoming release, they should be in the first snapshot after that and barring some catastrophic regression being found when being found in testing, it should be coming in the next release after this one.

Further, 'Direct Match' appears to steal some text navigation keystrokes. For example, I will frequently paste a string into the search box, then edit out words that aren't likely to help, often using the keyboard: CTRL+ left or right arrow to move about, Shift+CTRL arrow to select unwanted words, then delete.

@atefwilson You added Firstrades as a web panel, then set the panel to full width. I suggest you read the documentation linked about web panels and how they work.

Web Panels could be very useful to keep track of different sites at the same time. Not all sites work as panels though, they are not tabs.

Maybe tab tiling would be useful to learn about as well?

Sorry to unearth such an old thread but it's been happening to me since updating to v6.6

The way it happens for me is if I use incognito mode and then try to search something with a non-incognito window after having closed the incognito window.

I also found a way I can fix it without deleting any data. ! When I open any webpage by typing its full domain name, let the browser load the page and then select and right click on any text and select "Search DuckDuckGo" (or whatever your default search engine is) the browser snaps out of it and everything is back to normal

I can replicate both the trigger and the fix 100% of the times.
