Vivaldi 1.9RC 1 – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 1.9.818.25

[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?

[DriverOp]

Thank you, Vivaldi team!

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…

@stevekong: you can do it (editing) on forums. It's not (yet) available though the blog/commenting system.

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 ?

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).

@akbalder: You should be happy, 2.0 is closer than ever

[Zerael]

Any news about VB-23017 (Mouse Gestures open links from closed tabs)? The behaviour has changed, but I can still open links that aren't there anymore. It if I close a tab by mouse gesture and end the mouse gesture over a link.

@espen I'm also seeing this across both my machines -- both are macOS Sierra 10.12.4, every page (I have never seen an auto-complete dropdown in any 1.9 snapshot, including the latest one from this morning).

(I started a separate forum topic about this, but then saw this post. Sorry for the dup.)

Have you checked your mouse gesture settings to see if you have some conflicts? You might have the same gesture assigned to close a tab as you do for opening a new tab over a link.

The latest Snapshot has dropped a point to 518 on the HTML5 Test

[Zerael]

@ugly Thanks for your reply, but that doesn't seem to be the cause. All mouse gestures are set to browser default.
I even get the bug without using the closing mouse gesture: Position the mouse oder a big link (like a 9gag image), close the tab using Ctrl-W, and then use the New Tab mouse gesture – and the link is opened.

@mtaki14: that's true but the next version is 1.10 not 2

Hi, I previously, twice, reported that I am losing my autocomplete and history/bookmark search. I have finally established that it was occurring because I have unticked "Privacy" -> "Search in Address Field". This is new behaviour in the 1.9 branch. Seems odd that unticking that would cause losing aforementioned features. Cheers
