Fix for an inaccessible menu – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 1.16.1211.3
-
Can't access settings. Click on it will result with no action. Tag vivaldi:settings works fine. Incredibly annoying bug.I hope it will be fixed soon. Tested on Win10 x64 & latest Vivaldi build.
-
@rotfl I will let the devs be the final say on this, but you may want to download a memory tester like memtest86+ because those errors suggest bad RAM.
-
@marekano Ǹo problem here. Clicking the settings icon on the panels toolbar works fine, as does the Sync icon, and the Alt+P shortcut. Show settings in a tab makes no difference.
Specs: AMD A10-6800K, 8 Gb on Win 10 64-bit • Snapshot 1.16.1211.3 (64-bit)

Dear developers, thanks for the great work.
Please give this missing little thing.The name of the running Vivaldi application in KDE is not visible. If I use alternative browsers, I do not know which one is. (Of course, without the name)

Five months ago I wrote about it.
Thank You. -
I am getting this error when trying to install.

-
@dystasia: nvm got it. Restarted the PC and ran the installer without opening Vivaldi once booted.

@mtaki14: Every one in a while the Chromium Jumps almost completely stops New Feature Development for months... This isn't good...
-
@neltherion It is good. Otherwise, it would take longer to fix urgent bugs and security issues if the developers took too much time for new features. When there are currently no urgent bugs, they can work more on new features.

@gwen-dragon: reported it at least once, I avoid repeated bug reports, but due to closed bug tracker I have NO IDEA what happens to it, like maybe somebody thinks it's fixed (while it's not really) and just forgets about that and I still suffer, but I won't report it again to avoid annoying poeple with same bug report.
Crash dumps - nobody asked for them (I think I'm leaving my mail there for a reason). There is no info about them on bug reporting page. Vivaldi team - don't make me guess that you may need it.
-
@tbgbe: yeah, it crashes, all processes exits, but no restart happens (as I'd expect, especially it (autorestarting) was considered "fixed" in previous snapshot IIRC)
-
@gwen-dragon: oh, and before you say anything about tracking changelogs: I do it. But I found no similiar tasks closed. And changelogs posted here are not full changelogs. I see a change from time to time that is not listed.
Looking at Opera changelogs - very very long ones - I guess Vivaldi team just publishes popular user-reported bugs here. Internal and/or small tasks must be skipped here.

@jacekn said in Fix for an inaccessible menu – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 1.16.1211.3:

That fix was to do with the UI crashing, not the complete browser process.
But if you are crashing, then you should have crashdumpsreported it at least once, I avoid repeated bug reports, but due to closed bug tracker I have NO IDEA what happens to it, like maybe somebody thinks it's fixed (while it's not really) and just forgets about that and I still suffer, but I won't report it again to avoid annoying poeple with same bug report.
If you have the bug number email from the tracker, you can reply to that with your crashdumps attached. You could also ask for an update on it in the VB thread
If not, it does no harm to create a new bug and then send the dumps for the new bug number.

@garyr: Tab opening/closing has always been like this... actually it's gotten better for we with a faster CPU but it still shouldn't be this laggy on lower-end hardware.

@pesala: There is no standard Windows behaviour, or microsoft does not know

@trojanobelix The Alt menu key shortcuts are called Access Keys.
Close the visible menu and submenu at the same time = Alt
Close the visible menu; or, with a submenu visible, close only the submenu = EscTry it in Vivaldi

@pesala: okay, got it. Explained in
