Lots of issues with 1.9.818.44
-
I have a feeling there is more to it. Sure, something can always corrupt, but given the circumstances... 2 totally different vivaldi instances, never anything copied to the other, one quite archaic, going back to 1.0, the other very recent, with mostly different tabs in them and barely any setting changed save for vertical tabs and theme, suddenly develop same corruption right after update to 1.9... it is too much of a coincidence. I suspect there is a lingering issue with 1.9, at least the x64 version of it, which is probably not all that popular or tested...

I have same issues that thread starter. When I upgraded from 1.8 version the browser went quite mad. It didn't start properly. Just white window. Problem is still present though I did clean Vivaldi install. After clean install I can restart browser though.
I disabled all the extensions and clicked thru pinned and regular tabs. The tab row freezes after aprox. 20 clicks and no new tabs from + button. Session is saved.
1.8 here I come.
"edit"
It seems that tab row freezes only when clicking pinned tabs. I use page tiling but but it wont affect the problem.

I've encountered same/similar issue today after using 1.9.818.44 (32-bit on Windows 7 64-bit SP1) for a couple of days.
It seems to be site-specific - in my case the tabs desync happened for tabs with http://banki.ru/forum (when using search there) .
It required several restarts of the browser to get rid of those zombie tabs: they weren't reacting on Ctrl+W... And at some step I got white screen when starting Vivaldi, so all my 100+ tabs are lost (I'm free at last!
Anyway here is a scenario to reproduce the problem:- Go to forum (any forum there with a lot of messages will work, I guess)
- Click 'ΠΠΎΠΈΡΠΊ ΠΏΠΎ ΡΠ΅ΠΌΠ΅', type any word in the appeared "edit box" (f.i., test) and hit ENTER.
- Switch to another tab while the search is in progress, and you got one zombie-tab.
(!) Don't leave the zombie tab active when exiting Vivaldi (switch to another tab - refer to the window caption to discover which tab is active) - you will get a white window when starting the browser next time (delete "Current Session" to "fix" that - unfortunately you'll have all your tabs lost afterwards).
This problem doesn't happen with 1.8.770.50 (32-bit).

Ha, glad I'm not the only one. I went beering, but now back, tho a bit dizzy (a lot actually) but decided to check on whats happening and immediately got the bug to appear. To do: in tab stack I have 2 tabs, having same forum opened. The link in question:

Clicked on the picture in post #46169, the one with raven, pressed ctrl+w, done, zombie tabs, the rest work, but these are no longer accessible and are no longer accessible even after browser restart.1.9 is broken methinks... including clearing the profile having same issues...
-
Yep 1.9 had a problem with special encoded urls, it has been fixed the next day on the 1.10 snapshot, try that.
-
@iAN-CooG Seems that did it, thanks
This issue is totally worth 1.9 hotfix, I mean it is not a minor glitch, but a direct loss of data, something you probably put months in. -
@Polymo Yes, had the same. Actually reinstalled extensions 3 times yesterday because of that bug, try 1.10 and pray that it is not happening again. For me it seems the issue is gone, but if it survives today without dying, then will be able to mark it as solved.
-
@Polymo Yeah you have to reinstall the extensions, they are already corrupted, but once you do it and stay on the snapshot you wont have more issues
-
@Polymo Hmh... I guess the only thing you can do is manually clean them up... open vivaldi://about and then open the directory that is under profile path. Close the browser and remove all extension folders (move them somewhere else in case you need to restore), then start the browser, should have no extensions and can reload them.

Same issue here. When I use image search on google and opens many tabs, there will be zombie tabs after 5-6 opened tabs. I can't close them, I can't switch to other tabs but current tab is still working. (I use vertical tab ordering.)
I can close these tabs after restart but if I switch to one of these, the problem arises again. (I even got blank white screen after a restart but I solved it.)
I can't switch back to 1.8 because Vivaldi site doesn't have old version download function. It would be great to create page to download older versions.

There is - look at the Vivaldi Blog
e.g. https://vivaldi.com/blog/minor-update-to-vivaldi-1-8/ -
@TbGbe Thank you, I will download it and I am waiting for the 1.10.
-
@Robert81 Don't wait for it, download it directly. True, it is snapshot, but who cares, works much better than the stable

@TbGbe When I clicked on Download button, page forwards to the 1.9 download page. But Gwen-Dragon's solution worked, now I have 1.8 again.
