vivaldi broken on windows 10 surface pro 4 since 16-jun update
-
@Ayespy thanks for that, very informative, hopefully others reading this thread will get as much from it as I did. Cheers
-
Just as a matter of interest, I downloaded Slimjet (also based on Chromium) to see if it has the same problem. It does. The minute I clicked on a link using the pen, it went into a loop and hung completely.

@ayespy thanks for the heads-up on this mate

Seeing an update to Chromium 61.0.3163.91 I tested this on Surface pro 4. Still no joy, VB-29544 still applies. V remains unusable on Surface pro 4 at least, and presumably also Surface pro altogether.
-
For morbid interest more than anything, but the Fall Creator's update (1709) of Windows 10 has messed with the Surface pen on many browsers (Chrome, Vivaldi, Firefox and even Edge). V 1.9 is still more or less usable despite this (so I'm sticking with it although it's out of date security-wise) but if any Dev time is going into VB-29544, you might see weirdness (like having to click the button to select text rather than moving the page around). Hopefully this is temporary; enough people are complaining about it...
-
As far as I can see, Version 1.13 has fixed this issue! I've been running it on my surface pro 4 for a few hours now, with lots of the sort of tab activity (selecting tabs with the pen) that would have brought 1.10, 1.11 and (I think) 1.12 to a grinding halt, chewing CPU and not responding. I don't see the fault report (VB-29544) mentioned in the 1.13 release notes, so perhaps the Chromium update just reverted its behaviour to what it was before. Anyway, however it happened, it seems to be fine...
-
@aach1 good for you then!
-
@ian-coog Good for V too, I think. The ability to move the URL and tab bars to the bottom of the browser makes a lot of sense on a touch screen (saves reaching for them). I think V should be really popular on these devices. Devs, if you did this and you're looking in - thanks!
-
out of interest, this morning I installed 1.14.1077.55 (Stable channel) (32-bit) on my surface pro 4, and lo and behold ten hours later I'm still using it and haven't had any of the freezes which I reported in the post. I'd almost given up on this and have been using Firefox quantum happily for a few months. I don't have time to read release notes; can anyone confirm that VB-29544 is considered fixed?
we're not quite there, I should add - gmail labels are still not draggable (and that's a showstopper for me). I'll file a separate one somewhere about that. I note also that when I try to drag a gmail label onto a message, the browser hangs up for a few seconds. Clue, perhaps.
-
@aach1 I didn't noticed VBs around touch inputs but.. I guess chromium/Vivaldi updates are fixing the trouble. Can't answer for gmail labels

Have anyone tested Vivaldi with MS Surface Pro 5?
Vivaldi caused a problem for me concerning what tablet I would buy next.
I have thought all three alternatives - Android, iPad and MS Surface.As far as I know Vivaldi is not for iPad and Android tablets, but concerning tablets only for MS Surface.
But how just now MS Surface & Vivaldi works? -
@tapio There will be an Android build, but not yet.
Some people run Vivaldi successfully on MS Surface Pro, but have reported occasional problems with the touch interface.
