First snapshot of 2019 – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 1420.4

@vkk178 I can't even manage loading prime videos at all in this snapshot, let alone seeing green.

@vkk178 I can load that site just fine, did you check your extensions?

Action Center/Notification/Youtube potential bug.
Youtube have changed how the Notifications work, now the comments open inside the menu that opens from the bell, you can see what happens after you click on a notification now on the image below.

I assume that because of how Youtube changed what a click on a Notification should achieve, it broke Vivaldi notifications for the website. You can click it all you want in the popup or Action Center, nothing will happen. Close is not working either. Now you have to "Clear all notifications" to get rid of YT/Vivaldi notifications in the Action Center.
Gonna try to disable extensions before clicking on next see if that helps.
The above is not working either, extensions or not.
Here's how it looks:

Notifications are broken like in the above post not just with Youtube, but also with downloads that finish. Should be easier to replicate.

[LonM]

@t0yz ive been noticing broken notifications for a long time, every since snapshots for v2.2

[LonM]

Leaving a fullscreen YouTube video causes the tabs to not appear, even though the tab bar is visible.

Doesn't happen every time though.

Occasional bug. Not sure how to replicate, kind of "partial regression":
Sometimes, usually on g-search or g-store text is written in the wrong way: TXET| instead |TEXT.
Usually removing the text and moving the caret or reload the page solve. I'd say happen 1/10 times.

[Hadden89]

@Gwen-Dragon Nope, it's more a thing that could happen on tab load. But I'll check how the text direction is when it happens (where?)

[ROTFL]

@Hadden89 @Gwen-Dragon I can confirm this - I've experienced the same problem...

Happened only on Google for me.

...and yes - really hard to reproduce

[LonM]

The problem with text being entered backwards can happen if you start dragging your cursor from inside a text box to the left, so the cursor is over the Vivaldi UI. Then you start typing:

It can happen on any text input, not just google.

[Pesala]

@Hadden89 I have seen this too. No recipe yet, so did not report it. Seems to happen in the search field of a Panel that I use to find feature requests.

Edit: LonM nailed it. The bug is related to dragging the text cursor.

If you add this link as a web panel you can easily search for other feature requests simply by changing the search string from "Tiling" to any other term.

@LonM Yes, this was partially because of Windows 10 1809. Not just Vivaldi notifications were broken, others as well.
However, this time it is different. There was an Insider 1809 patch that brings the OS to v.17763.288 and fixes the Action Center notifications for pretty much every app, with one exception that I know of: Vivaldi.

The first is however not fixed properly in 1809 yet.
To get rid of the Vivaldi notifications you now have to Clear all Notifications. This was not the case in previous builds, but the new OS hotifx could also have affected this behavior. Rest of the apps/notifications work normally though, so I have to assume it's Vivaldi.
Since it so easy to reproduce, maybe we'll get a fix soon.

[LonM]

@t0yz My bug with notification is a bit worse. When I click on a notification it opens up a standalone profile of Vivaldi I have on my system instead of the actual one that created the notification in the first place.

[t0yz]

@LonM Could be that Vivaldi S is now considered the default browser. When I tried a standalone install this is how it got labeled on the Default Applications in the OS. If you have both "normal" Vivaldi and Vivaldi S, just try to select the normal Vivaldi as default:

[LonM]

My current installation is the default browser. I suspect the issue lies in how windows 10 registers it's notification handlers. Maybe it gets confused due to the fact that both have the same .exe file name. But I can't say for sure

[killchain]

@npro: Same here. A private window crashes the whole browser - sometimes immediately after opening it, other times after some time.

@t0yz Glad it worked, though you chose the more complicated commands of powershell, it can be made through the normal command prompt by using mklink /j "Path of Existing Folder" "Path of New Folder"

[t0yz]

@npro Yeah, turned out Powershell doesn't have mklink, although there were workarounds. Didn't use cmd (which still has it) in ages, I love the blue Powershell look, so I just looked it out to see if there was something equivalent, and found that command.
Works great and does exactly what I want it to do, without the "adverse effects" of using the arguments or standalone, so thanks again.

@t0yz said in First snapshot of 2019 – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 1420.4:

@npro I love the blue Powershell look, [...]

haha you can change the color of the command prompt and make it look like powershell (right-click the window and go to properties )

[t0yz]

@npro But powershell is newer! I'm a sucker for new toys And testing stuff.
