Research crashes

ldexterldesign

Created bug report and included a URL to this forum thread (logs + context), where access to the log files will stay live

When you get the bug confirmation email, please also reply to it and attach the crash log

If I still need to reply to the email with the logs ping this thread and I'll action that

Good luck!

Cheers

FYI
NO REPLY NECESSARY

I just had a crash using "Find in page" without the extension installed which suggests the crash could be a Vivaldi core issue after all

If I can reproduce I'll follow up here

NB I've added a new log[g]

I've had a few find in page crashes myself as of lately, so I'll share my experience so far. First of all, it has only happened to me in a few select websites:

Wikipedia
The Vivaldi blog
Twitter
YouTube
NintendoLife

The only extension that is ever running is an adblocker, with the exception being the Vivaldi blog, where no extensions run at all. As you can probably guess, a lot of text is generally displayed on these websites.

The crash only ever happens when I try to change the keyword that I am trying to "find in page", by selecting it all and then trying to delete it.

Here is the last crash log that I received: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1jo9rjMsHbSi60sXKoywsUoY4as1NR8iX

EDIT
Here is another crash report that I just got today: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1-_mQK9pt71eNTLfKmdqkC8I_2EY233-9

@gwen-dragon yes, https://forum.vivaldi.net/post/254656

Curious to know if this issue was diagnosed/fixed - assuming blog snapshots[s] is the correct place to look I can't find anything relevant?

Hope to hear back

Cheers

@Gwen-Dragon [Jira] (VB-46506) Review extension (reading time) causing browser crash

Cheers

ldexterldesign

@Gwen-Dragon great, no issues since; just curious. Thanks.

The find in page bug is back and it's crashing my browser

I've added a new log[l] but let me know if you'd prefer a new bug report

Switching to another browser until this is fixed

It's unclear to me if crashes and freezes are related. I added what I'm seeing in v2.3 (and just that version) to the second thread that you linked to above.

ldexterldesign

Ahh, unless I'm mistaken the "find in page" issue is a regression[r] Vivaldi is aware of:

[Regression] Vivaldi hangs by find-in-page under certain conditions (VB-49066)

@ldexterldesign That was about the hang version of the problem. There's a full-blown crash version of the problem also going around.

ldexterldesign

Issue still not fixed

This time, rather than a crash I get a perpetual spinning beachball (I waited 5 mins). No crash so no crash report; I had to force quit.

If I can be of further assistance then please let me know

Like many others, I really need this fixed - it's killing my productivity and I'm seriously having to consider other browsers

Is there a stable Vivaldi version I can revert to (i.e. something before 2018-11-19)?:

If yes, where's the download

Hope this is useful

@ldexterldesign Thanks for the report. FYI, this issue has already been confirmed internally. However, it doesn't seem to reproduce consistently.

Do you have specific steps that trigger this glitch or does the lock-up only occur randomly?

ldexterldesign

Hi @xyzzy,

Thanks for reply

url: http://gqueues.com/*
find in page occurrences: 19
find in page bug occurred at: 4/19

That's all I can think's relevant

I suggest you start building a schema for people to complete if they don't have a crash report that way you can start building a clearer picture if you aren't already

Regards

rseiler

@xyzzy Is it Mac only (as of this release)? Maybe a coincidence, but mentions of this that I've seen so far have been.

xyzzy

@rseiler Version 2.3.1440.57 and the recent 2.4 snapshots should have fixed the "Find in Page" crashes. So far, only a few people have reported Vivaldi freezing with these recent builds... and it's actually really tricky (for me anyway) to get this remaining glitch to trigger.

I was able to reproduce it on macOS and we've already identified where in the code that the freeze occurred. However, I don't think that the developers have isolated the root cause yet. Once they do, it should be a very quick fix.

ldexterldesign

What's the status?

Still a find issue, still beach-balling forcing me to quit

Yours hopefully

@ldexterldesign I'll look into this. To the best of my knowledge, all Find in Page freezes have been resolved and should not occur in any of the current builds.

If Vivaldi should ever freeze like this again, please do the following:

Launch "Activity Monitor" and search for Vivaldi
Look for a Vivaldi process that's consuming 100% CPU. Click that line to select it, then click on the "gear icon" and select "Sample Process" from the dropdown menu.
When the sample completes, click the "Save..." button
Open a bug report and provide as much information as you can about your current configuration (including extensions that you have installed) and the specific actions that triggered the freeze. Reply to the confirmation email and attach the text file from the "Sample Process" output.

Thanks!

xyzzy

@ldexterldesign A few months ago, you mentioned that the "Reading Time" extension triggered a crash: https://forum.vivaldi.net/post/254399

Are you still using this and have you tried disabling this extension again to see if it eliminates the freeze? (The extension itself could be what's getting into an infinite loop when traversing nodes.)
