1.14 massive problems
-
This build is quite unworkable. Much of the time the mouse cursor is not accurate or does not actually click links. Google searches are not clickable at all. Some of the extensions are broken, including the Fair ad blocker. I'm getting a lot of partially unresponsive pages, on some of them it's impossible to scroll with any accuracy, if at all. I often get the pointing hand mouse link pointer, when I should be getting either a arrow or a I beam.
I'm sure these problems will be resolved soon, but thought they were worth mentioning.

@paul1149 Yep, unable to click interactive elements is annoying. It happens when you open a new tab from a link (for some it happens from panel too). It's known and I hope they fix it soon, because it's very annoying. For the time being you can work around it by opening the address in a new tab (shift-enter/ctrl-enter [depending on your shortcut settings] while being in the address bar).

I usually use SS on a daily basis, but having read this thread i was intrigued & launched my 1.14 Stable to assess. Whilst i do have other reasons for being frustrated with this version, in fairness i must say that NONE of the problems mentioned in the above posts is afflicting my 1.14 in my Manjaro. How might we explain this dichotomy? I think it even further enhances my respect for the degrees of difficulty faced by the Devs, in trying to cope with divergent user experiences, sometimes being polar opposites.

I didn't have any of those problems, that I saw anyway. But the others were enough for me to revert to 1.13 for now. I'm also on a Debian 9.3 base.

I have not been able to run any 1.14 or 1.15 Vivaldis. They open to a gray screen with V logo in the center, no X to close window, no menus, no response to quick commands; with my old profile or with a new one. The error message is:
[10797:10849:0201/082534.460020:ERROR:bus.cc(394)] Failed to connect to the bus: Could not parse server address: Unknown address type (examples of valid types are "tcp" and on UNIX "unix")
[10797:10797:0201/082534.734602:ERROR:gpu_process_transport_factory.cc(1009)] Lost UI shared context.I use Fatdog Linux, not a mainstream distro, and furthermore it's minimalist (the iso is half the size of Knoppix micro). I am not asking for personalized troubleshooting; I only report this in case the information is useful, since I assume the goal is for V. eventually to be as universal as possible.
Currently using V 1.13.1008.44, which runs with a few minor glitches.
Google-chrome (2/5/2018, chrome 64) runs (@ Steffie: for emergency use only!)
Opera 50.0.2762.67 (chrome 64) runs
Chromium (from Slackware)-- too lazy to chase down missing libs.64-bit Puppy Linux variants also do not work.
Xenialpup64: same error
Slacko64: wrong NSS version -
@t160915 could you run vivaldi-stable --enable-logging=stderr and share the output?

I've switched to the Snapshot, 1.15.1094, and so far have not had any problems. I copied my profile over to it and will copy it back should I return to the stable channel.

@JSJB , I've had few problems with 1.15. Last evening it did start doing the misplaced cursor thing. I had been doing something with V, I forget what. It was acting like Windows progs often do, as if it were running out of RAM or something. I simply closed and reopened, and it began working fine again. Reuters seems to work fine here, just now.
Have you tried renaming your user profile to see if that makes a difference? If so, there's a problem there. Or you could disable half the extensions at a time, to see if that frees it up.
Specs?

@jsjb said in 1.14 massive problems:
Pages like www.reuters.com are barely usable in vivaldi because the browser is so unresponsive
Then there is clearly something wrong locally for you. This is not a systemic V fault, coz following my seeing your post i went to your US Reuters link & spent several minutes productively & efficiently browsing it. I then changed to its UK address & repeated the process. It all worked beautifully for me.
Btw i am an active user of uO; these are my settings for that site [fyi just in case there's any nasty code active on that site that might be affecting you if you run V "naked"]:
EDIT: The testing above was done in latest Snapshot 1.15.1094.3. Just now i have finished additional testing of the US Reuters site, but this time in latest Stable 1.14.1077.45. once again it was all excellent [this time i also tested video on that site; excellent].
