My guess is that while dragging Vivaldi saves some sort of URL information in memory in plain text format, that Firefox can read just fine

Please Vivaldi, create a version for Android of The Browser

Win7/64, Radeon HD6850, Vivaldi 32bit installed for all users, this and the previous Vivaldi snapshot (still) have trouble running in parallel with Shot Online golf game shotonline.gamescampus.com
Starting browser first, no issues, launching game then -> Signal app crashes and browsing the WWW is not possible any more.
Doing it the other way around -> the same problem
Closing and re-launching Vivaldi can result in losing all current session tabs.
This wasn't the case 2 snapshots before as far as I recall.Best of luck & thanks again for a great browser!

This bug was introduce in the previous build. A workaround is to create a shortcut to launch Vivaldi with this command line:
vivaldi.exe /high-dpi-support=1 /force-device-scale-factor=1

Thanks for the update. Now, I'd really appreciate a new feature: Being able to change the text and background color in reader view. Also, a way to disable links so I can read easily.

"Users don't understand that the V icon is a clickable menu" - me neither. It seems not to be a menu: left-click, right-click, middle-click, long-click, drag-it, drag-onto-it, none of these seems to do anything. Only double-click -> closes Vivaldi, but this hardly qualifies as a menu. Don't understand - hope it's due to my lack of a second coffee early this morning

Found a small UI inconsistency: open Vivaldi, open text editor (e.g. sublime), drag a tab from Vivaldi on text editor.
Result: URL of the tab shows in text editor - cool! But also a new Vivaldi window opens with the tab. So this seems to do two things at the same time, which seems unintentional. -
Can confirm.
Win 10 x64, Intel HD 4400.
I can only get crisp 100% display by using the above mentioned fix when starting Vivaldi, clicking on a link from within a mail, for example, will result in blurry upscaling the contents of a web page. -
Well, I assume that you have the horizontal menu enabled then. Switch away from to see the Vivaldi button menu being referred to.

You asked the same question I had in previous comment. Seems like if it was fixed they would not need the patch and to have it would have conflicts….no one knowledgeable ever answered mine.
I do know I had a weird crash with this SS which is FAR better than previous but went back to FF cause I have to much to take care of and can't help enough you possibly could.Mine went to smaller detail not larger not consistent yet for me. Still have shortcut patch loaded which helped a lot in last SS, now I don't know if it is introducing problems.

I looked around a bit on the WWW and it DOES NOT seem to be a Vivaldi issue. It's more likely caused by this GameGuard nProtect. A bit outdated the thread but it'd make sense.

Then again - why don't I see that behavior with the latest Opera Dev version, which is also Chromium based as far as I know.
-
All defaults, except for the option overlay-scrollbars. But i tried it with default options on both browsers. Same issue..
-
Firstly, we are aware of the bug and plan to fix it.
That said, I don't agree that V is completely unusable. You have to have UI zoom enabled and enough expanded bookmarks to cause a scroll bar. It also requires that you use the bookmarks panel to access your bookmarks. I now suspect, given that only you are reporting it that only a minority are actually hitting this bug. So yes it is very serious for those who's workflow causes them to see the issue but the vast majority will not hit this bug and this does affect its priority. Once again I will stress that we are planning to fix it.
P.S. It is not UI scaling, it is UI zoom.
-
I suspect that what you are seeing is not a bug. I could be wrong but it is my current gut feel. Rather you are seeing a bug fix.
It seems that previously we were not always respecting the UI scaling defined by Windows and that Vivaldi was too small (relative to other compliant applications). Thus if you had 125% UI scaling Vivaldi was still at 100%, while the file manager and other compliant applications were scaled to 125%.
If you want Vivaldi to be smaller reduce the Windows UI scale factor. If for some reason you want Vivaldi to be smaller but the rest of your applications to be the correct size, then use our UI zoom to scale Vivaldi back.
If you think I might be wrong or have misunderstood perhaps you could provide a screenshot of your desktop with Vivaldi running alongside the file manager. This will allow us to compare the scaling on both.

I'm not yet convinced this is a bug. See my other reply.

Try loading a URL with Japanese in it and copy and paste.

Scaling back Vivaldi via the UI zoom (in my case to 75%) results in getting the proportions I used to have with the previous version. Yet the text is not crisp but blurry. Using vivaldi.exe /high-dpi-support=1 /force-device-scale-factor=1 so far is the only working solution for me, as I do not want to reduce the Windows UI scale factor.

Cut & Copy Encoded is a setting for special characters like Japanese or Russian, where the difference is in how the characters are encoded for links and such, if I'm not mistaken.
