Security updates and IME fixes – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 1.16.1206.3
-
@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.

What happened to the "Sync" feature?? I was using it extensively, now that it's gone my Bookmarks are all screwed up beyond recognition!!!
-
@salvorin-fex It's still there and working. Have you disabled it?
See vivaldi://experiments
-
@pesala To have the download dialog box, just uncheck "Always Save Files to Default Download Location" in download settings. Isn't it?
-
@philippeoffner Right, but then you won't need to open the Download Panel, nor will you need to be notified that the download is complete.
-
@pesala: Well, I never turned it OFF. Did an update do that? If so that's kinda lame!
-
@salvorin-fex Updates do not touch that setting as a rule. Hard to say how it might have got switched.
-
@ayespy: Well, I never even knew about that page until 12 mins ago. I just saw that it was missing form the "Settings" page and I couldn't find it anywhere.
-
@salvorin-fex Did you change from a Snapshot version to a Stable version?
Sync is available in Snapshots but not in Stable. -
@salvorin-fex It was never in the settings page. It has only and always been on the experiments page. Somehow, if you were using it, you turned it on.
Edit: Of course turning it on in vivaldi://experiments causes it to show up in settings.

Sync in last Snapshot is still cloning my notes
Huh... I have no idea why, but it happens only inside some of the folders¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Not to mention that it's really complicated to permanently delete some notes because after syncing 5 Vivaldi instances they are back from the void...
It usually happens with the long ones...
