A new snapshot and new forums - Vivaldi Browser snapshot 1.5.654.3
-
Your points are of course entirely valid, & i don't for a moment wish to imply that the platform change is trivial [as one who herself made the change from Windows to Linux spanning 2013-2016 (comprising the initial Linux VMs when still running Win to begin to learn about L, then progressing to dual-boot, then fully reformatting to Linux but with some Windows VMs, to only within the last month finally cracking the final piece of the puzzle so i now never need to use my Win VM at all now] – i'm entirely aware that such change IS a Big Deal. It's not for everyone [yet], but i'm simply interested in informing people that sometimes they might have more options than they initially thought. Wrt my reply specifically to Lucio, i thought it might provide some relief from the OCD burden, which i'm sure must be very challenging.

Haha, yes, i know! It's times like this that i particularly enjoy the old saying "Just because your're paranoid doesn't mean they not still really out to get you!".

Dragging the active tab, via its address bar lhs icon, into the Bookmarks panel is still broken, as per now several SSs. After dragging, the new bookmark only has the http address, rather than the actual page name [like it used to have, some time ago]. I think i've seen others post about this too, but if so i don't know the Bug#.

So far as I know, there's no plan for the blog at this time.

Had something similar happen to me a couple of times. First time, I filled out the online forms to have a couple of anti-spam services un-flag me. Second time, I actually had my internet provider change my IP address. You can probably tell your VPN to change yours. Looks like someone may have used it for nefarious purposes in the past.
-
Have to say that I don't like the new look of the forum AT ALL.
Sorry.
-
Yup. Will fix that.
-
I can login here in the blog but not anymore in the forum, it just says
Internal Error.
Oops! Looks like something went wrong!

Email takeneven if I logout here and login after pushing the Forum button.
edit: and my avatar in here seems missing, while it's visible from my profile. Something went lost. I had it fixed only by removing current avatar and resetting it from the photo album.

Some ideas:
In one of the earlier builds you could drag a tab into a new window to move it there. Now you have to drag them to the tab bar, which can be very finicky. Often I end up with a tab stack instead of a separate tab.
Also, regarding dragging tabs out of a tab stack, the little tab buttons on top of the stack are way to small to be really usable. So people who are not using tab previews when hovering in the tab bar will probably never be able to use that function comfortably if it stays that way.
However, the tab previews also have a downside compared to the tab buttons. You cannot select multiple tabs by clicking on them with control held down. It would be great, if that was possible. -
Oh, I'm disappointed we're still on Joomla for the blog, I thought you were going to change to WordPress, it has been confirmed by a Vivaldi rep some weeks ago.
I have many issues with Joomla, I have to re-login here every single time I close the browser (only happens with this blog), edits are unreliable, votes are too slow, replies are quite unreliable too (example: https://vivaldi.net/en-US/teamblog/168-a-new-snapshot-and-new-forums-vivaldi-browser-snapshot-1-5-654-3#!/ccomment-comment=23538 – I clicked on "Reply" of the parent post).
-
Now I can't even LOG OUT
AUTHENTICATION ERROR !
Attention:
Something went wrong during the authentication process. Please try signing in again.wtf, during a log out?
-
Am really getting annoyed now. Am still blocked with same msg even on alternative VPN IP, AND even if i close VPN & just use my ISP, "naked". My tests imply the fault is not with ISP [else VPN should have worked], & not VPN [else ISP should have worked]. Exasperated.
-
Two regressions from 1.4:
1. The Vivaldi button at the top left of the window does not activate when the mouse snaps to the top left corner.
2. In the Search bar, click the x beside previous search entries doesn't delete them. -
Any specific examples?
-
The system logged you out so you could log in and log out properly
-
I wish, I have logged out, but I appear still logged in (infact I'm still posting here) and yet i can't "sign out" anymore. Sum of this update: blog bugs and forum bugs. Well done!
-
The reason is that there is another menu entry in that menu which also starts with 'S'. So the menu logic does not know which one the user wants to activate. I guess we can work around that by assigning an underscored letter, but I am not sure if we want to do that right now.
-
Confirmed both.
-
Deleted all the vivaldi.net cookies, now at least log out really works,on the other hand my avatar continues to disappear even if i reset it the profile.

Can I have two different Vivaldi installations (of course in different locations) with completely different profiles (defaults) - i.e. two completely separate installations with no connection between them? I have problems with my installation and want to start from scratch a new one, but I need to look at the settings & bookmarks of the old installation.
