Fix for an inaccessible menu – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 1.16.1211.3
-
This will probably sound negative, but is there any particular reason why development of new features has stalled the past few months?
-
@mtaki14: We are working on a Chromium jump from 65 to 67, which you will probably receive soon.

[UI] Menu can’t be accessed when “ALT Key for Main Menu” is disabled (VB-40899)
now it can be accessed with mouse if the option is disabled, but then alt-letter shortcuts don't react. Alt-F for file, alt-H for help etc before were working with the option disabled. It should only disable alt key alone. Oh well. -
[Pinned Tabs] Pinned tab loses pin status when opened as new window (VB-39512)
I can confirm this is working for me -
[Regression] Missing options for Downloaded files (VB-41045)
"show in file manager" is back in the context menu, good. -
@ian-coog Yes. This option to disable Alt key is nonsense. It breaks standard Windows behaviour.
The bug was that switching keyboards was made difficult because of the way that Shift+Alt misbehaved.

Thanks for the update.
Since a snapshot or two, once you exit full-screen, Appearance - Show User Interface is always off. Even if you activate, exit Vivaldi, restart, go full and exit full again, it's off again.Not for me (on Linux Mint KDE)!? Do you have more details/info on this?
-
@mtaki14: It's fine,as long as every snapshot is stable,not buggy.
-
A lot of nice fixes this round. Particularly the pinned tabs one.
I'm curious though: What is an "infobar"? Is it that yellow bar that sometimes pops up with error messages like "WebGL has crashed"?
-
@ryanchuang: well that will not be the case. Snapshots are not consistently stable. You will experience issues as we test stuff. If this doesn't suit you, stick to stable builds.
-
@pesala: It is not nonsense. It causes real world problems for people using IMEs on non CJK keyboards. In addition windows is not the only platform and Alt is supposed to trigger certain behaviour on some Linux desktop environments. Just because you don't need it that is fine but others do need to disable this and we want to accomodate them to
-
@ruario If what you say were true, every browser and every software capable of using CJK input would have this option. Firefox opens the menu with Alt, but not with Alt+Shift nor with Shift+Alt, so there is no conflict.
With the Alt key enabled, Vivaldi still opens the menu with Shift+Alt, but not with Alt+Shift, so there is a conflict for Windows users who need to switch keyboards.
-
@axk: Yeah, it's known and being worked on

@pesala There is more than one way to skin a cat. Vivaldi is not required to take the same approach as other browsers.

First it was killing
featurebugs, now we're skinning cats? What's wrong with Vivaldi... -
@lonm Wait until we start shooting horses and eating bears.
-
@lonm The old saying, "curiosity killed the cat" is ambiguous about exactly how the cat met its end. Now you know.

Obviously, the cat was a martian!

I hope that will solve the RAM problems I've been experiencing for some time now, over many snapshots. When I first open Vivaldi, it will use about 1.4GB RAM. After a bit of surfing, the same number of tabs (one or two, with another 16 or so never opened and therefore hibernating and using virtually no RAM), the RAM usage is about 2.9GB. That's after about an hour. If I keep surfing, it will go up to 4.5GB or more at the two-hour point. I'm now in the habit of closing Vivaldi periodically, to start the cycle over again. But this is not the way it should be. Vivaldi is not giving back resources. I'm on Linux, x64.
