Make the Vivaldi menu disappear when clicking on the menu button for a second time
-
Sometimes when I want to click the left arrow up in the left corner, I by mistake hit the menu icon. When the menu opens, I want to get rid of it quickly and click the arrow. When I click the menu icon again, the menu does not go away. Instead, it reappears and keeps blocking the arrows, forcing me to move the cursor somewhat far away from the menu icon in order to click somewhere else.
It is not the greatest issue, but I think it would be good if the menu would close when we reclick the menu icon. Do you agree? An option to remove the icon would not hurt either.
//MODEDIT: Moved to Feature Requests from the Vivaldi browser for Windows forum

@ashtar Hello Ashtar, I quite agree with you. This isn't really user-friendly to have this designed like that.
I guess it might be a good idea to have your proposition added to the Feature request section, don't you think? -
@ornorm Hello. That sounds good.
-
@ashtar Or by creating a feature request or by asking a moderator to move your topic to the feature request section.
Edit : I see that, for example @Gwen-Dragoniswas available. She can maybe do this for you.
Sorry, I misspelled her name and she doesn't seem to be available anymore. Just check in the "Users" section a Moderator who is online and ask for help. -
@ornorm GwenDragon

@ashtar @Gwen-Dragon last online minutes ago.
-
@hlehyaric I misspelled her name. Ashtar was right about the GwenDragon I did mention... Ooooops!
-
-
@ornorm would still be a Windows specific change/problem (unless MacOS behaves equally).
Stable and snapshot for Linux at least do menu toggle correctly (in native as well as chromy window mode). -
@becm Thanks for this precision.
-
Thank you. I have now kindly asked the dragon to light my fire.

@ashtar So, read here about how to file a bug report and then file a bug for windows not turning off the menu with a second click. I have tested, and it works as expected for Linux, but not for Windows - so I would classify this as a bug, rather than a feature request. If you file the bug, I will confirm it internally, and it will get some attention.

To work around the issue, use mouse gestures.
- GestureLeft to go back
- GestureRight to go forward
- Rocker gesture: hold RMB and Click LMB to go back
- Rocker gesture: hold LMB and Click RMB to go forward

@ayespy Thank you. I now reported it.
-
@pesala Thank you. One of many useful features of Vivaldi. I am using a Dell mouse from 2003 with no extra buttons. You and the Vivaldi team just added back and forward buttons to my mouse.
I noticed that Rocker Gestures does not work on the Settings tab itself, though.
-
@ashtar Even the cursor keys don't work unfortunately, just Tab and Shift+Tab can be used for navigation in Settings. The Search field is very useful though.
-
@pesala We can navigate back and forth in the Settings tab by holding down the Alt key and pressing the left and right arrow keys.
-
This issue persists. In case someone cares, an easy way to make the menu disappear quickly is to simply use the mouse wheel to scroll. The menu disappears immediately and lets us click the navigation buttons.

@Ashtar This is helpful, thank you!

@VVivid Good to hear. You are welcome.
Yes, this makes it less annoying to misclick those arrows.
