Address field + Speed dial fixes - Vivaldi Browser Snapshot 1609.4
-
Address bar editing is very broken for me in 1609.4, especially when combined with autocomplete.
Eg. if I type part of an URL in the address bar, select something with the down arrow, move cursor to the left with keyboard, and try deleting characters with backspace, cursor will always jump back to the end of URL, and the character I tried to delete often won't be deleted. The problem doesn't happen if I type something first.
I also had weird things happening with selection in address bar (had part of the URL selected, when the text changed from under me, while keeping the selection range as it was), but nothing I can easily reproduce.

Most likely because of data structure corruption inside browser.
Once it happens, all subsequent actions become wrong. -
The last few snapshots have been a terribly frustrating experience. Mostly re: Address bar and especially the on-page search. Firstly, I am a web developer, so I guess I am a candidate for using the browser's features more intensively than a typical user.
Two issues still persist: The browser will freeze after returning the last item when searching using CTRL + F. I was able to replicate this 2 times out of every 10 attempts. In order to replicate I had to close the tab, re-open the tab and repeat the search process. Once it hangs, all currently open tabs become unusable and I have to force quit the application. No crash dump is created.
I used to have another issue where-by the search field would sometimes fail to appear after using CTRL + F, but I THINK this has been fixed. Could someone on the development team please look into the logic surrounding the search process?
My second issue is whenever I am utilizing dev tools and creating breakpoints on JS whilst also using the built-in pretty print {} feature to display the code unminified.
Pausing on a breakpoint will consistently cause the browser tab and dev tools to be unresponsive. Again, no crash dump. These are specifically non-responsive UI issues.Vivaldi: 2.7.1609.4 (Official Build) (64-bit)

@starpaw FYI, I have opened VB-55475 for the "Find-in-Page freeze" issue and the bug has been confirmed internally.
-
Thanks so much for the improvements in the address bar. Performance was so poor in the last few updates that I almost gave up on Vivaldi.
-
@xyzzy: Thanks! Looking forward to the next update. Is there a ticket for the dev tools breakpoint issue? If I get a moment later today I will create one.
-
@starpaw We've had various internal discussions about DevTools. (I've mainly been focused on stability and other issues concerning macOS.) Re: breakpoints making the browser unresponsive, it's definitely a known issue. @Gwen-Dragon escalated this issue internally a week ago.
Edit: Found the bug: VB-55490 Apparently the keyboard (F8) can also still be used to resume execution after hitting the breakpoint to "unlock" the browser.

I can not add a new Speed Dial.
I can type an URL in the text field but "Add" button remains disabled. -

That's another bug -
Nice update indeed. However, it brings back an old problem with browser identicication on certain sites. For example my online tv login shows this message:
This browser is not supported, please use one of the following:
Google Chrome
Mozilla Firefox
Microsoft Edge
Apple SafariIt was working just fine prior the update to the latest snapshot. Win 10 x64 (1903)...

@vort: Yes. I'm pasting an URL.
So, you can confirm this is a bug? -

So, you can confirm this is a bug?Yes. You can add and delete some character after pasting URL and button will become active.
(But I don't want to make bug report for it now. It is better if devs focus their efforts on more important fixes.) -
There is another interesing bug with right clicking on tabs, I believe new snapshot will come in few days so I will wait for it. Afterwards I will file a bug.

Sometimes Vivaldi freezes when you try to find a word on a page after its last entry, i.e. the word occurs twice, and next is pressed three times.
Found on Linux 32 bit. -
@gwen-dragon: Thank you.

Blank tiles again! I filed a bug report, you answered that you couldn't reproduce the bug. Today I challenged my luck by storing a new url in my bookmarks/speed dial. I closed Vivaldi and...every tile is blank again. Other people have faced the same problem, but it seems you have trouble identifying it. Now I have to assign every image one by one to every tile. I'm not adding any new bookmarks any more!
PS I do face a serious problem: either I'm abandoning speed dial or I'm abandoning Vivaldi -
@gwen-dragon: Tile is a Speed Dial "box" with an image (custom or auto-preview). Blank means plain grey (not transparent with a bookmark symbol, as in waiting for an automatic preview or a custom thumbnail addition)

@nutcracker Have you tried resetting your profile?
-
@gwen-dragon: Unfortunately I lost most of my e-mails due to a new mail client I installed. Now I'm trying to find the report (and the bug number) through my Vivaldi account with no luck until now. If you have any suggestions please instruct. Anyway I have complained about the same thing at least four times and two months now in snapshot remarks.

Freeze always this version...
