This Snapshot doesn't start on my Linux System. Tried to start in Terminal:
vivaldi-snapshot

@keithy thanks, done, works.

@pesala Though I take his point, and I'm surprised that you think of all of your longstanding bugs are only cosmetic. Really?
Sometimes there are non-cosmetic regressions that go on for an incredibly long time, and when you see countless new features arrive in that timeframe, one has to wonder. Witness the extremely painful tab stack debacle that began in v1.8 and has been with us ever since. There are several productivity ramifications of that.
BTW, on another subject, isn't Chromium 66 overdue to make it into a snapshot? It's out next week. I assume at this point that 65 will be skipped (for release) and that we're now on an every-other-Chromium-release cadence, since it's too much to keep up with every one.

I did not say that the tooltip issue should not be fixed. I said that there are plenty of more important issues to fix before that. You of all people should know about JIRA priorities. Perhaps you can tell us what priority has been assigned to this tooltip issue?
Disclaimer This list may be different for the Vivaldi project.
- Blocker: — Blocks development and/or testing work, production could not run
- Critical: — Crashes, loss of data, severe memory leak
- Major: — Major loss of function
- Minor: — Minor loss of function or other problem where there is an easy work-around
- Trivial: — Cosmetic problem like mispelt words or misaligned text.
The lack of a hand cursor over a link was fixed. That is also a cosmetic issue. Whether the pointer or a hand is shown you can still click the link.
Click & drag to mark text fails at bottom of viewport is also a mouse issue, but it is not merely cosmetic. Although there is a workaround (using Shift+Click) that requires using the keyboard, so it's not merely a cosmetic issue. There are trivial mouse issues and more significant mouse issues. Broken mouse gestures also causes an interruption to one's workflow

@der_pit said in HTML5 audio fixes – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 1.15.1147.19:
New features are always added before bugs are fixed.
That is not true. The developers are always working on bug fixes and new features. If there were no new features I would have left long ago. There is not a single bug that stops me using Vivaldi as my default browser, but Opera 12.18 is still my default email client.
You also want new features that we had in Opera 12.xx as do most of us.
Still missing some of the Opera features that made life so easy for many (12?) years, but with the current state of vivaldi I can use it and wait for them to arrive.
That's why we are trying out Vivaldi. Email and reliable sync are much more important than stray tooltips. I suspect that we might just get sync in 1.15, but I don't expect to see email yet.

@der_pit: That's been bugging me for a long time now. That and the search box preserving the search terms in every tab, instead of making it exclusive to the tab I used it for.
Indeed, that's another open 'cosmetic' issue affecting (my) productivity :o
At least I'm not alone.... -

I did not say that. The bug that I cited is cosmetic. Many of the others that I consider worth mentioning on my review page are also cosmetic or trivial, but the slow audio on some videos is not trivial for those affected by it (not me). Reopening of the closed settings dialogue in a new window is also a bit naughty.
Vivaldi always lags behind Chromium updates by about six weeks as each update introduces new bugs to fix.

deferred loading of pinned tabs broke ((

The VB-38973 (click on scroll bars) bug not fixed please, it is not a cosmetic issue!

TBH I prefer a limited feature set that works flawlessly over many new features that 'mostly' work. I agree there has to be some balance on this. But it is easy to forget about 'small' bugs and implement new things. But it is a dangerous road.
I have been using Opera since the early days (bought it at that time), and Vivaldi is my (only) browser since more than a year. So I am somewhat tied to it.
If a pileup of 'mostly working' things makes someone like me even think about alternatives it is something that should be taken serious, I doubt I'm the only one..... -
So, I counted 6 new bugs and only 5 fixes. Well done!
-
The installer did not delete: c:\Program Files\Vivaldi\Application\1.15.1146.5\ -- the previous snapshot folder
-
One more bug to piggy bank: tab icon dimming is not relevant. I see all my tabs as hibernated but none of them really are.
-
I needed like 5 minutes to install this snapshot, I thought the installer is frozen with the install-animation. It would be better to have really a progress of installation in %. The actual installer does not give you any useful information.

It is difficult to take you seriously when you complain so much about a trivial issue. Maybe you don't get the concept of Snapshot builds and a browser under development?
No, you're not the only one. Scores of users only visit the forums to complain about their pet issues, while contributing only a little of their free time to resolving them.
-
@burbuja It sometimes happened to me but usually gets deleted the next time Vivaldi is closed and reopened.
-
@burbuja that seem a pc hiccup on your side, here it took 1 minute max from download of the delta to restart of the new version.

It seems fixed for me, I can select all page and it scrolls while selecting even if mouse goes out of the window
-
@ian-coog Yes, I know it's fixed as it is says in the Blog. I was merely citing it as an example of a mouse issue that is not just cosmetic. It is a minor loss of functionality with a simple workaround ,(Shift+Click), but it is more than trivial as the workaround requires the use of keyboard + mouse.
