Address bar fixes – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 1581.5
-
It's VB-54699 now
-
@stevekong: weird… you entered the whole address (amazon.de) and it redirected? Or it just show the amazon.com without redirecting?
Anyway, does your address bar autocomplete work perfectly? I am still looking for some guys which have broken autocomplete ind the address bar, too… Some items are autocompleted as it should be… some simply does not autocomplete for some reason (happening with last 4 snapshots or so)
-
@saudiqbal No, I seem to have the same problem. I noticed late because I rarely input addresses in the bar directly and mostly search from the search field or quick commands. Hitting enter in the address bar seems to be completely broken, on macOS at least.

@Pesala said in Address bar fixes – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 1581.5:
Version 2.7 is clearly a new round of development after the release of 2.6 Stable.
Well not really - as I pointed out last time (when you pointed me to your changelog): 2.5 to 2.6 was not much of a development as far as the user was concerned. I appreciate that there may have been some changes under the skin, but in terms of features or look and feel... almost the same. So 2.6 felt more like a bit of tidying around the edges than "clearly a new round of development".
Having said that, maybe we'll see a version jump in the snapshot prefix coincide with testing of a new feature this time...

@dragonmastr Keeping your own folders lowercase and deleting everything starting with an uppercase is good practice.
I found that looking at the date in the panel was the clue... All the default Vivaldi ones will have the same date and time when they all got reinstalled (and it is newer than all your old bookmarks).
I could just use the cursor key down and delete button to scroll through and remove them all while keeping my eyes on the date the whole time. Was very quick (only a few seconds if you close all the bookmark folders first).
-
@mossman A new round of development occurs after every Stable release. It has nothing to do with how many new features are added in each cycle.
- Snapshots
- Release Candidates
- Stable Release
The release cycle is determined by the Chromium release cycle, which Vivaldi development follows.
-
@luetage I can confirm, it doesn't work me either, wether hitting enter or shift+enter.

ESC to Focus Page is gone now, that's a real shame. I used to have Focus Page mapped to F1 but sometime ago ESC would work for the same which is much more elegant, so I could remap F1 to Focus Panel.
Now I have to remap it again
And we can't remap ESC because it's already mapped to "Stop Loading", which of course makes sense, but also on a loaded page ESC in the address bar should bring focus back to page content.
-
@Pathduck There is nothing stopping you from mapping Escape to Focus page, and use some other shortcut (or none) for Stop Loading.
-
@hlehyaric @luetage No such problem here, though I am running on macOS Mojave.

Well yes, obviously... but my point was that before this snap, it used to work by default. While loading page, ESC would stop loading, and in a fully loaded page, ESC would focus content. Now I have to go back to remapping the keys again.
ESC still works to focus page when for instance focus is on a form, which is as expected.
Reported it as VB-54717.

@cqoicebordel: go back in history and you will see that when we do it is fairly arbitary. Sometimes it is after release, sometimes Chromium. Those of us working in development care far less about this first number than you seem to imagine.
-
@hadden89: no. It is a snapshot built with the daily number 1581 (5th build of the day). That is all really.
It is post the latest final as that was branched from 1566.
-
@pesala: We are not. The number we quote in the snapshot is the same number that matters in Chromium.
I can tell you that when I worked on Opera Chromium it was also he one I cared about.
The latter parts of the number (1581.5) are the ones that increment automatically as part of the build system and represent actual changes. The first two numbers are changed when a human feels like it and are thus largely arbitrary.
-
@folgore101: we will change it at some point but it really does not matter and you need not think about it. Focus on the number that is listed (which is why it is listed).
-
@dragonmastr: You are making the assumption that it is intentional and it is not. We are trying to detect for this but it is failing on some systems and we do not yet know why. There is an open bug and it is high priority but fixing it is complicated by the fact that it does not happen for us, so the attempted fixes are based on how we think it might happen. We will get there and sorry for the problems in the mean time.

It's a snapshot not a number

My age changes every year, whether I feel like it or not, and it always increases.
-
@dragonmastr: would you be willing to share your bookmarks file with us? It can contain personal information, so i understand if you would not but if you would, it could be helpful. You can send it along in a bug report.
-
@stevekong: and confirmed… this happens here, too (time to time)…
