Adjust the Speed Dial size – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 1511.4

Am I the only one that has trouble opening new tabs clicking on the + icon? It does not work I click it while my mouse is too near the top. It has a hover animation and even does the click animation when I click on it but nothing happens. Was fine before I updated last week.
-
@Fudgy There is padding around the button which is not sensitive to the mouse click. This will be addressed.

I haven't read through this whole thread, so apologies if it's been covered already (quite likely since I see several posts concerning bookmarks...).
I don't use bookmarks very often, but when I needed to just now I was shocked to find that my nicely ordered list has become a complete mess! Since I rarely go to the bookmarks panel, I'm not sure when this happened - or if it's the same on my other devices (will check this weekend) but all the folders are now un-nested into one root folder. There also seems to be a lot of duplication of default Vivaldi and/or Opera bookmarks (I thought I'd always deleted the default Vivaldi ones, and the Opera ones had been carried over in an "archive" folder). I'm also not 100% sure that all my own bookmarks are still there...
Hopefully this happened after my last backup from a few weeks ago, so I can restore the old file if necessary.

Oh golly, just found this bug. Don't know if it really did appear only with Vivaldi 2.5.1511.4 / Chrome 74.0.3729.55, or maybe before, but i only found it tonight.
I had a single window open, with numerous tabs, individual & stacked, pinned & unpinned. After hours of research into a specific topic i selected all resultant 12 tabs [ie, being only a subset of this window's total tab complement], saved them [12] as a Session, then tested my success by opening said session in a new window. Yes, worked well. However then i closed that second window, only to unhappily see its 12 tabs automagically appear in my first window which, given i'd not yet closed the originals, caused duplications.
Have others seen it? Is it reported yet?
-
@Steffie I can't reproduce it here but I'm on win7.
I have tried saving a 12 tabs session, closed some of them in the main window leaving only 1 tab stack with 4 pages of the same site and another tab with this forum, opening the saved session in a 2nd window but they only appear on the 2nd window correctly for me, and after closing it the main window still has the original vivaldi forum tabs and stack I had. -
@iAN-CooG Oh? Hmmm, i just tried it again, kinda... i'd already closed all those tabs in Window 1. I opened that Session in new Window -- again it was good. I closed it -- once more those tabs then jumped across into Window 1 [now the sole window]. That's not terribly nice.
-
@Steffie I've just repeated the test, but this time on my other pc. The same misbehaviour occurred here too. One thing i forgot to mention before, but it did occur both those earlier times, is that after closing the 2nd window, sadly causing its tabs wrongly to materialise in the 1st window, some of them become pinned [they weren't before]. It's a weird thing.

@Der_Pit Check
- your anti-aliasing settings in Linux system
- if your graphics card has FXAA enabled (causes blur)
- if disabling Use of Hardware Acceleration in Vivaldi settings → Webpages helps
Thanks for the tips. But it is not a general problem - it's only in the speed dial, and only since the update.
I also (still) have the search field in the address toolbar. There the text/fonts are OK:

And it's PERFECT! the option to lock/allow dragging thumbs is the cherry on top!
Thank you devs. Finally we can trash one more css mod after some years.I can not to move the zoom control.
-
@Gwen-Dragon I (think I) use the default, as I cannot remember having changed it. It's Cantarell for everything except Monospace for Monospaced. UI zoom is at 100%. Page zoom too.
I have another machine at home with a more normal display, but have not yet updated Vivaldi there (slow line). I'll do ASAP, check what it does there, and report back.Oops, one update: I just looked for zoom in vivaldi://flags, and there was "Use Blink's zoom for device scale factor". It was disabled, so I enabled it, and restarted. Now the menu displays OK. But it seems not to be the default setting?

On top of what's already mentioned, tab tiling seems to break YouTube, i.e. as soon as I tile a tab next to a one with a video playing in it, the playback starts having severe frame drops.

There is a remedy ... install this extension and select Firefox and Windows in the extension ... then reload Youtube and the video is running.

it's not relevant to the Speed Dial changes, and yes, that control can't be moved, yet.

@Steffie I believe the issue here is (if not the same, at least related to) a bug I reported a while back where saving a session that involves some pinned tabs doesn't always record which tabs are pinned correctly.
And of course, when you close a window with pinned tabs, they will be moved to another window if there is one available. I find this latter part to be intentional behaviour.
-
@LonM I understand you, & who knows maybe there's a buried common-cause, but the misbehaviour i have found tonight is not quite how you described.
The 12 tabs which i saved as a new session in PC1, & the 6 tabs ditto in PC2, were NOT pinned. Some were stacked, but none was pinned.
When i opened these respective new sessions in the respective pcs in new windows, they accurately replicated their created state, viz, some were stacked, but none was pinned.
However, once i closed these respective windows, these [all unpinned] tabs wrongly jumped into the respective original windows, AND some [not all of them] were now pinned.
-
@Steffie I must have misread your initial post- my error. What you describe is very much a new bug, one I have yet to experience for myself.
-
@LonM Ooh, i feel sooo special. Bet you're jealous. :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_cold_sweat:
-
That's a good one. On the topic, hopefully we can keep the option to locking them in the forefront of our minds.

Update. I've done more testing, & i need to retract/amend/expand some of my earlier text.
I now think that your bug IS strongly related to "my" bug [my apologies], but with a slight twist [of lemon?].
When earlier i wrote
after closing the 2nd window, sadly causing its tabs wrongly to materialise in the 1st window, some of them become pinned [they weren't before].
...i was only partly correct. I've now discovered this real weirdness:
- When only one window exists, & i create my various tabs that i intend to save as a new session, NONE of these tabs was pinned [several other, older, tabs are pinned, but none of these new ones (by intent)].
- Save those targeted tabs as session.
- Open this new session in window2 [new].
- Previously not noticed by me before, SOME of these new session tabs have erroneously become pinned [in fact most of them, but not all... weird within weird!].
- Yesterday, coz i'm a fool & failed to notice that in window2 many of those session tabs were now pinned, once i then closed window2 ALL those wrongly-pinned session tabs materialised back in window1, for the exact correct reason you originally described.
- i chose to omit it in my prior posts as i had not realised its major significance, & felt my text was already complex enough as is, but in fact it is [duh], ONLY those wrongly-pinned win2 tabs that later appear in win1... none of the few win2 unpinned tabs rematerialise in win1 once win2 closes [ie, that part at least = correct behaviour].
- Ergo, in win2, if before closing it i take the time to identify each falsely-pinned tab & unpin it, then when i close win2 NOTHING rematerialises in win1 [ie, = correct behaviour].
- Thus IMO i was completely wrong in correcting your characterisation before [sorry again], & i don't need to raise a new bug, coz this is merely another instance of your already-raised bug manifesting. It's new to me, but not new per se.
- The solution presumably requires identifying WHY some tabs get assigned an incorrect pin-state during session-creation. Once that initial error occurs, all the subsequent misbehaviour is inevitable.
-
@Steffie good find, and good write up! Hopefully this will be helpful to a dev when they read it.
