Security updates and IME fixes – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 1.16.1206.3
-
@cqoicebordel 67 is the current stable chromium release, 68 beta was released last week. Seems like to me as if skipping 67 would only be natural. And why not? What features do you need right now from 66 and 67? From what I've read it's payment handlers and progressive web app updates...
-
@luetage I suppose anything is possible, but some of us are testing a pre-alpha on 67. Seems like a waste of effort if there will be no release on it.
-
Lovin' it! Always impressed at the level of attention to fixes and features from the V team. Priorities are in the right place.
-
@ayespy: That's what I thought too, but the situation is strange :
*Release with Chr67 must be released asap, for security reasons on stable.- Snapshot usage, I'm guessing, is marginal compared to stable.
So why backport those fixes to snapshot, and not stable and why spend time on backporting when Chr67 is coming.
The only scenario that make sense is that they will be really late with Chr67 (like, at least a month), and they want us to test in the snapshots if those backported fixes work. But since we don't know what exactly those fixes are, we can't really test them.
So, yeah, the situation feels strange.
- Snapshot usage, I'm guessing, is marginal compared to stable.
-
@cqoicebordel I believe the Stable backport is coming as well.

@pesala: it is like that since introduction of Toggle UI. I've already ranted about that somewhere
-
Still no focusing wrong window after clicking a link in external application? I hoped to see it this time
-
Know what I would find really neat? If the message saying the file had been downloaded could be displayed somewhere near where one clicked on the link for the download. I clicked, and then suddenly thought Hang on, bottom right you idiot! I was just in time, but it isn't always that way. I am, of course, aged (plus it's very very late [02:47 here] due to a major deadline). (And I'm winding down after delivering!
Oh yes: Thanks to all of you, both Workers (perhaps even executives) and all other Posters. -

This is something I would like to see fixed as well. I'm still a luddite of sorts in that I prefer an actual email client compared to a webmail interface, since I have several different accounts. While hardly the end of the world, it is annoying to have to go back and manually select the right window every time I click on a link in an email.

Regression: if "Alt key for main menu" is unchecked, and Vivaldi button menu is selected instead of Horizontal menu, the menu button doesn't react anymore even with mouse or keyboard shortcut (alt-F)
Can anyone confirm so I can add a bugreport?
Win7 32bit here. -
@ian-coog Confirmed. No surprise that the Alt key does not work, but the mouse obviously should.
This change should never have been made in the first place. Alt key is the standard for the menus.
The fix that is needed is for Shift+Alt not to open the menu. Alt+Shift already does not open the menu if done in that order.

It is a surprise instead, Alt-letter shortcuts worked until this update, when the option was unchecked; what was blocked was just the menu appearing when alt alone was pushed (voluntarily or by lack of coordination). Anyway, I'll send a report now.

I don't know what the bug about "enabling UI after exiting video fullscreen" was about. But on my snapshot, whenever I toggle the panel in fullscreen, after leaving fullscreen, instead of the panel a grey area is being shown.
Have panel visible, go into a fullscreen video, hide the panel, show the panel with shortcut, exit fullscreen and Vivaldi has this problem.
-
@jacekn Huh... same with chain-closing all of the windows when closing one of them...
Both are not a big problems, but reeeeeeally annoying... -
@rotfl Yep, this "close 1 window close all" is an absolute showstopper for me. The bug made it through the last official release, but I really hope it will be solved before the next one.

what does IME stand, for?

Add a custom search engine for Acronymn Finder or a similar websiite.
-
@newscpq It stands for "Input Method Editor."
-
@lakeinholland Maybe a workaround. In the Downloads Settings you can check "Open Download Panel Automatically". So when you launch a download the download panel opens and you can see the download progress and its end. F4 to close the panel.
-
@lakeinholland If you disable all of the Download checkboxes in Settings, on clicking a download link you will be offered a dialogue to Save, Save As... Open, or Cancel the download.
If you select Open, as soon as the download is complete, the downloaded file will open.
- If it's an installer it will launch
- If it's an archive it will open in your default Zip file viewer, ready to extract the contents
- If it's a PDF file it will open in Vivaldi, or your default PDF viewer.
Of course, if you just want to save it, or save it to a particular folder, then just choose Save, or Save As.. — whichever is appropriate for the current download.
