@pafflick As per suggested I made a request here: https://forum.vivaldi.net/post/547994

I think the OP is frustrated because this annoying behavior is driving people nuts overtime... cuz it really doesn't make sense to cramp search history into typed history (it feel almost like a bug), for this behavior make it very difficult to find typed history amongst a bunch of search history entries which polluted the list.

This is like Microsoft vs Apple design philosophies, where technically MS OS is superior but it's GUI & UX are unintuitive & unfriendly to most non tech user. Vivaldi might be a geeky browser for tech competent user, but there is no reason to made the Addressfield dropdown list so convoluted & frustrating to navigate.

@neodrox You have to wait until an other discord user can help.
And feel free to report bug to Vivaldi tracker.

@kilroyklutz Drag and Drop with shift will work to move buttons on the Navigation Bar to the left of the address bar, or down to the Status Bar. There is currently no way to drag them to the right of the address field.

Vote for Customisable Toolbars.

To edit menus, Settings, Appearance, Customise Menus. You can use Emoji to rename menu items, but buttons are not yet an option.

@user919 Focus loss depends which sorting order you use for folder list.
Known issue,

@realmat0s Well, I just tested a message that I fortunately guessed as Italian on the forum pages, and by guessing at the language is the only way it works. Otherwise, when left on autotranslate it doesn't work. Had to use Google translate to reply to support questions I received for my Google Play app in Russian, Thai and Turkish, none of which it recognized to translate until I chose the specific language for it to translate. Going to leave same comment at bug report.

@pafflick Resolved so far as its only my problem. I have a twitter cookie that will be blocked every time, no matter what I do. I have to figure out why. It shows in the blocked list, I allow it, it reverts next login after clearing them all. It will post pictures when all cookies are accepted, but once I do anything the next page the cookie is blocked and I am back again.
So I will keep trying, at least I know its my own problem. Something is blocking a cookie, that wont accept it no matter what changes I make.
thanks.

@pathduck said in CTRL-TAB deactivates pages inadvertently - BUG:

@marktpalmos Hi, this is a known (and very frequently reported) issue in Vivaldi. Maybe one day a fix will come 🤞

Ah, thanks, and @legobuilder26 thanks, ESC is a good Work-around, an extra step but better than having to mouse about!
Cheers,
Mark.

@longlife @pafflick thanks guys, weirdly I just tried the same URL today, having not done anything to disable addons/java etc, and it works fine! A bit of a mystery, I also tried with page translation on and off, but both work fine... Anyhoo, thanks for the input!

@zeleboba You can't copy & paste commands between different menus. You can copy (or drag) it from the Commands list instead. You can use the Filter Commands input field to quickly find the desired command.

@jmfranc I don't watch anything on twitch, but I just tried a couple of streams and switching to full screen works fine. I'm using three monitors, but they all have the same screen resolution.

@jmfranc said in Fullscreen With 2nd Monitor Only Contained Within Window:

Casting audio from my Google Home mini ACTIVELY changes the behavior of how fullscreen is displayed. I use that as my speaker.

That's rather strange. Can you explain in more detail what happens when you use that speaker?

I check it as fixed in my internal 5.1.2541.* Daily.
I hope, next Snapshot will give you a fix.

@qaisarqwe Check also your adblocker (whatever you use) and try to disable it for the site. Some lists may break captchas. And some (privacy) extensions also may do that.

@sewhelpme Hi - yeah, I tested it and can confirm it happens in 5.0 Stable.

Pretty sure it used to work in earlier versions, I think I looked at another issue with FVD Speed Dial and the user just needed to check "Controlled by extension". But maybe that user didn't need it as Homepage.

I guess you could report it to the team, as it can be reproduced and we should expect Vivaldi to work with 3rd-party start page extensions. Although we can never expect all kinds of extensions to work in Vivaldi, some developers only test their extensions in Chrome.

Please read:

Help us reproduce your issue How to report a bug for Vivaldi

carefully and report the bug to Vivaldi bugtracker 👍

Thanks for the clarifications.

No, we don't have GPO's that restrict installation of extensions (because it works in Vivaldi when I run as Admin).

I followed your recommendation and did a reinstall of Vivaldi. It only had an effect when I uninstalled the old version together with my user data. But once I did this I can now install extensions as it should 🙂

Thank you

@mib2berlin Thank you
Turns out it was a problem with my tab for cause extension

Geez, that was simple. Just a bit hidden. Thanks bunches.

@zerohour0 said in Basic Installation Issue:

OS: Windows 10 1909 18363.1139

I think your Windows version is a bit out of date. Mine is 19043.1415, but I doubt if that would fix this issue.

The latest Vivaldi installer should be Vivaldi.5.0.2497.35.x64

@mib2berlin
It was "Continue running background apps when Vivaldi is closed"!
Forgot to disable it! 🙂

Many thanks

@foulke Additional comment: When you first sync the new machine's instance of Vivaldi, you will see in sync status: download:successful upload:successful or something similar to this. Then you will look at the UI of the new instance and see no evidence of this - no bookmarks, etc. Not to worry. In a few minutes after reported success, you will see the evidence in the new instance. It WILL show up, just not right away.

This is one. What was seeing is two locations where a home page can be set.

Under Tools>Settings there was one fill-in and under Vivaldi:\settings was a different screen where Home page could be set or turn the home button on. In fact the settings to turn on the home button was nowhere to be found.

In the end I did a reset of the default settings and rebuilt my preferences. That seems to have cured it for now.

I don't want to label this thread as "solved" because it is still somewhat ambiguous as to what the real issue. For now I'm functional again.
