@rshuford I've also tested the Flash player on macOS with a Vivaldi 2.4 build and its behaviour is consistent with Google Chrome. As @TbGbe mentioned, you have to click on "Site information" (circle/lock) icon, go into "Site settings", and change the Flash permission for the site to "Allow" in order to activate the Flash player. The "Allowed" setting for Flash no longer gets stored, so you'll have to do this again when you relaunch the browser. (With Flash's retirement approaching fast, it's is all part of a coordinated plan to force sites to transition away from Flash well before it reaches end-of-life.)
I also tested playing video with Flash. It mostly works but the video player will not go into fullscreen mode. I've opened a bug for this issue.
I also looked up the crashes that you reported in the bug tracker. Many of them are still open but unconfirmed because they could not be reproduced internally. There must be something specific to your installation that's triggering them. Do you have any extensions installed and if so, which ones? Thanks very much for the reports and for any additional information that you can provide.
@vivaldiuser123 Welcome to the Vivaldi community, and thanks very much for the report.
This is super annoying! Is there any way to create a new window without also bringing up that minimized window?
Not that I know of. This is a known bug. Vivaldi is a multi-platform app and although it tries to behave like a native macOS application as much as possible, it still has to emulate this behaviour, and it's window management and Desktop integration on macOS is still incomplete... although it is getting better over time.
@xyzzy I had the could not quit problem too. It seemed to fix itself just now after I reset all flags (I had changed the ones to fix video playback when that was an issue) and clearing all cache.
@luetage said in Trouble inspecting extension pages:
I tried to do the same on Opera and it works, and I know it used to work in Vivaldi too, I'm just not certain when it stopped working. Opera stable is on Chromium 71 at the moment, so a direct comparison isn't possible – could be a Chromium issue still.
In chrome beta everything is OK.
I am experiencing the same bug on Vivaldi 2.3.1440.61 (Stable channel) (64 bits)
I have set my web pannel to a specific width which is never taken into account. For instance, I make the Whatsapp web pannel look larger, tick the specific width option then open another pannel, change the width to a thinner one, open back whatsapp and it opens with the previous pannels width, overwriting the specific width.
Thank you for solving this bug.
@josephj11 Thanks. I was a newcomer to desktop Macs in 2008. I started buying the Mac OSX... For Dummies series plus other Mac books and continued over the years. As time passed the books got thinner. Believe it or don't, Wife and I started using the www via the WebTV set top box in January 2000 until WebTV faded away so we bought used Mac PowerPCs after seeing too much bad about Microsoft. If we could start over we would now be using Linux.
I fully agree with your view. The ITOT evolves faster than we can keep up so community discourse serves better for us to remain competent in using this media. I will return here often to this thread and the suggested links to improve my competence.
You said "In some fields, especially physics and mathematics, those terms are precisely defined. In software, we're often less lucky." Very true until one ventures beyond the bubble of knowledge about a established discipline and makes a new discovery. Example: Industrial and residential electrical has been my bread and butter until I retired but the natural sciences and physics have been my avocation since childhood to the exclusion of empty social peer pressures. In the Spring of 1997 I discovered a process for changing, for example, a vine into a tree, the vine's heirloom ancestor, by manipulating the bioelectric energy with a uncharted method that blends the calculus from the common Handbook of Physics with the Judaic Qaballah and Sepher Yetzirah. You know what Einstein said about changing one's mindset and point of view. There is at present no lexicon to define the terms of operations in my experiment so I neologize and write definitions of those terms. The process cannot be confined to an algorithm.
USPTO and governments have become so badly corrupted that I will never reveal the process to the public.
You guys have been very patient and helpful. Thank you so much. Iceland. A shining light between two worlds.
@dakira Maybe on Windows that's the case but not on MacOS. At least not in mine, I'm using the latest Vivaldi in English on MacOS Mojave and the extension shortcuts don't work (and they never worked before either with any previous Vivaldi or MacOS version, and I've been always using the English version).
Not sure why (yet) but this morning, Vivaldi took a LONG time to open/resume its last session. This was with a test profile that I had just created last night. There was nothing special about it other than I had imported several thousand bookmarks for testing. No open tabs other than the Start Page.
FYI, Vivaldi on Mojave 10.14.4 beta 5 is incredibly unstable. I usually don't test betas, but I wanted to verify some OpenCL things were okay early.
The behavior (crashing on tab close) and call stacks look awfully similar, so maybe whatever rare bug was occurring is just much less rare there. It'll likely be released in just a few weeks alongside the event, so probably worth poking now.
Typing this in Chrome 73. It's so much snappier than Vivaldi 2.3
@QuHno I agree that it's interessting why only vivaldi gets those.. I feel like this is the case quite often for me, that Vivaldi doesn't load pages properly and navigation fails on pages when other browser display the pages fine.
@Gwen-Dragon I had much the same issue that happened after I updated the driver on my new HP laptops AMD Radeon GPU. Though it was not during full-screen, rather the video would be green until I put the mouse on top of the video. Switching over to RGB did not fix the issue, however, instead I switched over to scRGB Linear and it appeared to have fixed the issue. Such a quick fix. Thanks!
