Might be a bad cache file, can try clearing the cache.
Also Vivaldi 6.4 came out a few days ago

Hey ! It's been a wonderful adventure those 30 days with all of you but I'm sorry to declare that it must end today.
Sad.
The 6.4.3160.34 update finally cured my dev tools hiccup ! Hoorray !
It's been almost 5 minutes (five minutes !) since I opened Dev Tools and it stayed open.
Happiness.
Glee.

See you around next bug.
Bye.

Hi there, It's been years since this issue was reported and I've been getting around it but it's really annoying, do we've a date for this issue to be fixed? I'm also going to switch browsers, it's not great as I use Vivaldi for day to day work.

@brechmos said in Rip tab crashes Vivaldi:

I can rip the tab off the current window toward the desktop and it creates a new window with the tab inside.

That doesn't happen to me! I drag a tab onto the Desktop but it goes back to the original position of the original Vivaldi window as soon as I release the tab.

Or is "rip" a different technique from drag'n'drop?

macOS 14.0
Vivaldi Snapshot 6.4.3160.30 (Official Build) (arm64)

Go to Settings > Security > Show saved passwords. There will be an entry listed for that site - remove it.

Alternatively when visiting the site click the padlock in the address bar. This brings up a palette with site-related info and a link to Site settings. From there you can clear the (non-)password entry without having to search for the site.

A better solution would be to get a trackball and lift your fingers off the ball before you hit a button. That is what I have been doing for years and I have never had the problem of a tab becoming a window.

@kitsushadow It is a known issue.

See this topic.

@quotidian said in Choosing an alternative search engine:

select something other than Bing to be my search engine

Rather than ask a lot of questions about your setup - I suggest you read https://help.vivaldi.com/desktop/tools/search/

In particular the section on "Change the default Search Engine".

Same problem... Fresh Mac OS reinstall, fresh latest Vivaldi install... How to solve this? It is really annoying. MBA M1 2020 Ventura 13.6

Workspaces are not part of Sync yet. You can try importing your profile manually.

Having this issue as severe, on a patched version of Mac OS Catalina on an older Macbook Pro if this helps at all. People were saying it's what Vivaldi is built on 'over' Chrome to be so feature-rich. I notice no problems like this in regular Chrome, Safari or Firefox so far, at all.

What Vivaldi version and what macOS version?

What is it asking for you to sign in for? Are you talking about the sync password?

@rrsch said in Floating panel setting seems to do nothing at all:

bigger panels that open

Correct.

from the sidebar (seemingly also called 'panel'?)

Not quite - that sidebar is also called the "Panel ToolBar"😵
This can be closed by F4 (but I guess you know that already).

@jmealor It's a Youtube update (not Vivaldi update).

@Leisureguy Ha! Good call. I did find malaymail.com as a service worker and de-registered it.

Thank you very much.

Never mind: I right-clicked and got an option to "run as administrator"--and it opened. Whew! Leaving this posted in case someone else has the problem.
