Further address bar fixes – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 1587.4

[lamarca]

@saudiqbal There you are. Enable [[Address Auto-Complete]]
Alt+P >> Address Bar

[saudiqbal]

I did enabled it just for this bug, but it needs to be fixed. I do not like the auto complete inside the address bar.

[lamarca]

@saudiqbal The auto complete bothers me, it's the workaround.
Quick Commands doesn't use auto complete.

Hopefully someone fixes this bug with a new build before the weekend.

@ytsma: Would be good if you could reply to the bug with your latest .dmp files, so that we can figure out what goes wrong, as we can't seem to reproduce

I keep having to apply my one little *.css tweak every time the browser is updated and its a bit annoying, especially since we have this amazing theme engine that can be expanded with one little checkbox.

Check vivaldi://experiments and then (I think it's after restart) vivaldi://settings/appearance

Why does the stable release have the +/- for page zoom and the snapshot still has the slider?
For what it's worth, I prefer the +/- for adjusting the zoom.

Stable v2.6.1566 (upper) Snapshot v2.7.1587 (lower)

@Para-Noid Isn't the difference in Settings → Appearance → Use buttons in range controls?

Yeah. I should have know that. I have got to go through the settings just to reacquaint myself with all of the new settings. Even though some of the settings have been there for a while. The pains/joys of an ever evolving browser. The "growing pains" will never end...I hope.

Ever notice that more the Vivaldi evolves both Firefox and Chrome stay the same.

@Para-Noid Vivaldi performance gets better with them Off and
[[Play Imagem Animation]] set to once or never as well.

[Hadden89]

@Para-Noid It's the "keep it simple philosophy".
Ol' good gecko (firefox) lost a lot of users for that.

I am a follower.

[Hadden89]

@lamarca Yeah, but often when it comes to design/interfaces lead to things too minimal to be actually comfortable to use.
Simple should be also nice to use

[lamarca]

@Hadden89 Vero. It's simple and nice to use. We agree;P

Vivaldi crashes if I press the System-Information-Pop-Up in the Address Bar.

[cserpete]

@CantankRus
Same here.
Until they not fix this issue I will use the last stable (Vivaldi.2.6.1566.44.x64) instead of the snaphots.
The last stable version is working fine for me.

@Thot I don't know if you mean this but I just re-reported this
(VB-55031) Crash after changing any site settings
I'm quite tired to see Vivaldi crashing doing everyday operations like this.
on any site, for example https://forum.vivaldi.net
click the padlock, site settings, change anything, for example Location: ask(default) -> Allow
close the site settings tab, on the forum.vivaldi.net tab appears a yellow banner asking to reload
press reload
Vivaldi crashes.

Are you sure you didn't change the settings yourself for your profile on stable?

Coincidentally I just (literally a couple of days ago) went through most of my installs to change everything to the +/- buttons - so I don't think stable is +/- by default. I will look at my wife's profile in stable to check it's still using the (inaccurate, space-wasting, hard-to-use) slider.

Edit: I made this change since I tried the +/- and preferred it years ago, then someone mentioned last week that the option is now obscurely buried as settings -> appearance -> window appearance -> use button in range controls

[venildo]

Seems to me that the 'Find in page' feature has some problems again (on MacOS at least), it's happened to me quite a few times since yesterday that when doing option+g (find next), Vivaldi would be casted into the infinite loop of death.

@iAN-CooG I've followed your steps to test it and the site reloads just fine with the altered settings without any crash. So, not confirmed.
