@ian-coog: Yes, you're right! Unfocusing solves the problem.

Clicking Trash Clears All
(if "Tab Bar Position" = Left/Right/Bottom)

@derDay
If your "Tab Bar Position" = Left/Right/Bottom,
hold down the mouse button on the trash icon and you'll see the reason:
The mouse cursor is just on the "Clear All" item.
So if you release the button, "Clear All" will be triggered!

2.4.1468.4 doesn't have this issue, only because the menu won't appear till the mouse is released.

that's exact what I wrote earlier before

@derDay It's known and under review back stage.

Thanks for the (VB-50099)

The shortcut "/." is still broken when trying to get to slashdot.org

Also, this build as well as the last two snapshots have what i call a repainting issue.

Has anyone else noticed it? Where images and pictures and even favicons and icon overlays for extensions are missing or blank or half way rendered?

Restarting the browser is the only way to fix it...for a little while then it comes back. Happens on two completely different computers and before the last 3 snapshots, including this one, it did NOT happen.

Well, it was probably only a short-lived gimmick, or "easter egg". Just add "/." as a nickname for the site, problem solved

No idea about the repainting issue - you'd need to provide a screenshot and also report it here: https://vivaldi.com/bugreport/

Is anyone else having issues with browser randomly crashing? For the last few snapshots I've had the browser just crash at random times but I can't really replicate it as sometimes it's when I close a tab and other times I'm just browsing normally when the browser just decides to conk out.

Actually, I've found it to be the opposite. The early 2.4 snapshots were randomly crashing very often for me (usually on closing a tab). But since the previous snapshot I haven't had a single crash.

@ruario Unfortunately I still can't open pdf files without saving.
If I need them, there is the save button.
Save, Save as, Open, Cancel

The "Open" button is present, but does not work.

Unable to middle click on back, forward, or refresh buttons in this snapshot on Windows 10. Another bug, on the bookmarks bar, when dragging a bookmark a bookmark out of its folder onto the bookmarks bar by itself, it creates a duplicate without removing the bookmark from the folder. The duplicate also doesn't retain its bookmark title and just displays the URL.

@csablak Are you able to open any of these files below?

https://www.w3.org/WAI/ER/tests/xhtml/testfiles/resources/pdf/dummy.pdf
https://www.adobe.com/support/products/enterprise/knowledgecenter/media/c4611_sample_explain.pdf

I think it depends on the web server giving an content-type of "application/pdf". Are you able to give an example URL?

@ayespy: What's your internet speed? I think it could be my slow internet speed related. It often freezes up when I open a new tab and the new tab is loading

[kamryn]

@drv42: there's a forum thread about this issue here https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/32508/some-of-twitter-s-videos-sound-stops-playing-after-9-seconds/32

[Ayespy]

@archive1 I'm getting a blazing 8 MB right now.

Whoa - I lied. It's more like 20. Nominally, I pay for 25 MBPS, but ususally I never seem to get more than 8 or 10.

Under normal browsing conditions, I can't really tell the difference.

@atlemo: It's strange that you would remove a customization feature when Vivaldi's primary marketing pitch is customizability, something to think about

Bookmark bar on top...

Bookmark bar on bottom...

[Vividal]

Option to lock speed dials. Please and thanks.

[espen]

@willgogo: This will be fixed with VB-50803

[vias]

Oh my, it seems Vivaldi bookmark search never searches UPPERCASE letters in URLs.
e.g. If the URL contains "id=AA3", you can find "id=", but can not find "=A" or "AA" or "A3".

[vias]

Not sure if @TheDragonReborn means this issue:
If you disable "Open on Nickname Match" option, and then type "/." in Quick Commands window, it opens immediately (as if that option were enabled).
