Snapshot 1.2.485.14 - Bugfixes following a short week
-
No use, creating a new profile didn't fix anything for me. Devs, do you see this issue? I'd like to know if it's going to be fixed soon.
Another issue: opening a new tab makes it flicker at the end of my tab bar and THEN goes right next to current tab, as I have it set. This issue used to show up in past snapshots, but hasn't shown up in the last few snapshots. It felt amazing to know it was fixed, but is now back to haunt me. It was so great to not have this issue while it lasted.

There's been an issue/bug on Linux for several versions now.
When selecting multiple tabs and right-clicking there's a menu option to Hibernate Background Tabs. If you select it, the entire browser locks up and crashes.
Since the Linux version of the browser does not have tab hibernation, the option shouldn't even be there.
-
There are still missing from the previous snapshot. In the Settings, click the Bookmarks, nothing happens still show the last visited section in the settings, and to make the selection for example.
Phew; glad I'm not alone with this problem. And for me the bookmark icon in the address bar is still dead.

Thanks….I was wanting some Norway cause UK isn't socialists enough. And how's the economy great or bad is good enough.
For your entertainment.

I never knew that! Thanks for that very useful little bit of information dvdgsng - it will make my life that little bit simpler - with a 10" screen I often need to magnify stuff a bit.
-
Ah, you're right! I don't use zoom, so I forgot about that shortcut!
-
Didn't I just read something about a readability mode in the update notification for this snapshot?
-
Scrolling in the bookmark panel is much improved since the last snapshot as the icons now don't disappear when scrolling up and down quickly. They did before on my main AMD machine with more bookmarks. But the scrolling is still laggy and feels heavy. I hope it can be made MUCH more responsive and snappy eventually.

again problem with Dr.Web Antivirus
vivaldi.exe MULDROP.Trojan …\vivaldi\vivaldi-bin\vivaldi.exe
vivaldi.exe probably infected with MULDROP.Trojan -
Following bugs are not fixed yet and one is come back again:
1. VB-10368 Tab history list is limited to 6 webpages after restart
When will this be fixed?2. VB-13714 Wrong Speed Dial favicon after Vivaldi starts
When Vivaldi has started, all (empty) tabs with speed dial shown the round world favicon. Only when a speed dial tab is activated, the favicion is changed to the 9 dot speed dial favicon!4. Find in Page and search in a pdf file. The counter will not changed, when moving between the findings, 1 of 5, the 1 doesn't changed. I'm sure this was reported by an other user, but opened new report VB-17825
5. The refresh button and F5 does not work on some pages. I can reproduce this in our WhatsUp Gold monitoring tool, and also in MS SharePoint sub pages.
Following bug seems to be fixed now: "6. The Windows Taskline is sometimes unusable. I can reproduce it when a VPN connection is active." I tried to reproduce today, but I can't catch it. Will be monitored and then I will open a bug report.
7. An old bug is back again: Sometimes if you press longer the back < icon for the history list, there is an entry called Chrome-extension://mpo…. instead Start Page. It occurs since the last two or three snapshots VB-17824 is opened
Environment: Windows 8.1 (x64), Vivaldi x32, 1.2.485.14
@Ayespy: I read your comment on my last post some days ago. For me, these are still MAJOR bugs. It's a mix of how often they annoying me and how long they are not fixed. Additional, Vivaldi is no longer a beta. We all know, the Vivaldi Team makes an absolut great Job! And I'm so thankful for that great browser! But to reproduce on every snapshot the same bugs, ever and ever, it mustn't be. I would be happier to catch new ones - and maybe find nothing…

All politicians in the UK major parties (and most minor parties, and basically the Establishment in general) currently are neither Conservatives nor Socialists, they are Progressives, which crudely translates to "liberals" (the word is horribly misused) in the USA. So they want a very authoritarian state which primarily focusses on moral reform of the populace and are rather catholic about economics; nobody wants either a free market or socialism, they prefer a kind of tightly (morally) regulated State guided "market" with private ownership but the minimum of freedom, powered by finance capitalism and the state working together to pump money into asset prices (particularly property).
The old Left/Right dichotomy of the 20th century is dead. Talking about socialists and conservatives is anachronistic. Thatcher's 1980s attempt to produce a (relatively) free market backfired and opened the door to the resurrection of Progressivism, ironically obliterating the market liberalism for which she is still blamed but which does not exist at all.
Progressivism is derived from a 19th century "puritan" revival in the Anglosphere which is predicated on the assumption that a small morally superior class are most suited to rule the reprobate majority, and should be richly rewarded for doing so; this class consists of a loose coalition of reformers, educators, activists and businesspeople. This naturally leads to a "two nations" situation, except at the top instead of aristocrats you've got Polly Toynbee et al.
Like the First Progressive Era, this will probably collapse when the next generation get tired of the pungent stench of immiseration that permeates everything at the moment and rebel against the philosophy of "This is England. You're not here to enjoy yourself".

If you'd like to try it, you can re-name the Vivaldi/User Data/Default folder. If it fixes things for you, you can move your bookmarks and stuff from the old, re-named folder to the new one Vivaldi creates. This does not strike me as a corrupted file, tho. I think they broke it in the snapshot. I could be wrong. I could ALWAYS be wrong…
-
Yep. Norway decided not to join the E.U. because they were doing just fine, and still are!
-
You also cannot delete bookmarks and folders now. Just try it. See what happens . . .
-
Partially confirmed. I am able to delete bookmarks from the panel but NOT from the bookmark manager.
-
The flickering thing confirmed. I noticed now it is much much worse… Damn.
Win10 x64, Viv x64.
-
Yeah, both the flickering of opening a new tab when it's set to open next to current, AND the flickering of toggling the panel. Both are pretty bad.
-
I'm inclined to agree with your analysis Ayespy. I think I'll be patient and wait.
