Lookup on mac does not open the dictionary below the entry. Instead, the selected word is displayed two lines above and the dictionary popup below that.

Why do you want to release Vivaldi 1.9 so soon? I don't see what is the big feature of this version.

SteveKong

... I miss the edit button for my own comments. Should it be there?

Apocalypse

@akbalder: I hope 2.0 will be really big.

SteveKong

@akbalder: I guess mainly because of the chromium update.

@stevekong: Can you try with a clean profile? Any particular page? What OSX version?

OSX 10.11.6, no clean profile (I am to busy to test for now), this page or https://spiegel.de, for instance.

@akbalder:
big updates are:
2.0
3.0
4.0 etc.

small updates, improvements and so on are
1.1
1.2
1.3
1.4 etc

security updates, very small changes etc. are:
no change in general naming. just code update and the 3rd/4th level of it. Like 1.9.818.25 could change to 1.9.818.29…

Yay, RC! Now I've to know...
What RC stand for, this time? ReCording? @ruario

Cqoicebordel

@akbalder: They have to release as soon as possible after the release of Chromium, which contains security updates. But indeed, it could only be 1.8.5 (or 1.8.1 or something...)

Cqoicebordel

So, why not 1.8.5 ?

rseiler

Serious regression since 1.8. This makes using Vivaldi more difficult and frustrating:

@ruario

To help us get 1.9 out the door as soon as possible, please try and focus your feedback on serious regressions since 1.8 stable.

I am not sure if this is a bug or a feature: When you enter a search term into the search field, it stays there in all other tabs. Previously the search field was handled separately for each tab.
I already filled a bug report for this (VB-27472).
