Stabilization starts for 2.5 – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 1525.30
-
Is it possible to have both developer & stable version installed on the same computer sharing the same "default" folder?
-
@nutcracker It's best to avoid sharing a profile. Different versions have different ways of storing data and having two versions access at the same time could lead to corrupting your data.

NO!!! Absolutely, do not do that! There is an excellent chance that you'll corrupt the profile by switching back and forth. It's like downgrading to a previous version of Vivaldi -- don't do it.

I tested also the search field on speed dial and found the same bugs, and one more, reported
Summary: Search field on Speed Dial bugs
Key: VB-52643- Enable search field on Speed dial
- double click on the down arrow icon for Show search history
the Add bookmark to speed dial window appear as when double clicking on background
All the keyboard bugs present in the search field next to the address field are reproducible in the speed dial search field.
- mouse clicking the search engine icon make the list appear but doesn't disappear
- cursor down doesn't make the search engine list to appear
- shift down make the history dropdown to appear but it's not navigable with cursor keys, only tab/shift tab; same goes for search suggestions list when typing part of the search terms.
- search suggestions don't fill whole width, but are truncated halfway with "..."
- tab on history entry #2, search field shows entry #1
- esc doesn't make the dropdown to close
- shift-del doesn't delete highlighted entry.

[Regression] Download “save as” and “open” just save in default location VB-51913
"Saving image as..." saves automatically, no questions asked.

@jacekn Thanks. FYI, this is also a known issue and a fix is currently in the works. (VB-52467)

@nutcracker You can always install standalone versions. By installing standalone versions you can then test multiple set-ups. Some with extensions, some without. Some sync enabled, some not. Play around with different settings. I could go on but you get the idea.
FYI, some forum members have a bunch of standalone set-ups both snapshot and stable versions. I'm sure some even have multiple snapshot set-ups. Some have multiple stable set-ups. Me? I have a couple of snapshot and one stable. And one naked/virgin snapshot with only two extensions with very minimal performance impact.

@para-noid: Thank you and everybody else. As instructed, I'm not sharing profiles - instead I'm installing the stable version in standalone mode. Thanks again.
-
@nutcracker That's how I have it...
-
@xyzzy It's much better to enable sync.
-
@Para-Noid All of my many, many installs are synced.

This blog entry's stock photo is the same that gave Opera Coast it's initial visual ID… Good old…

Any plans to fix download capability in web panels? This has been a long running issue with Vivaldi with no fix in sight.

That's weird, this morning some of the search field bugs are not there anymore, I can navigate with cursors, cursor down makes the engine dropdown to appear.
Until yesterday on both my Win7 32 bit installs at work and home they didn't work, there must be some other thing that make those work/don't work.EDIT: ...and suddenly, 30 minutes after some browsing, they are back into not working state. Closing and restarting Vivaldi helps, until "something" blocks keyboard navigation on search dropdown again.

@mossman: Seems this is an issue on Mac. I have no wide menus on Linux, but I do on Mac.
