Address field + Speed dial fixes - Vivaldi Browser Snapshot 1609.4

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)
OS: Windows 10 OS Version 1903 (Build 18362.239) -
@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...
-
@Gwen-Dragon If i import my bookmarks html for file. Instant freeze....
VPN integrate possible? Would be good. / like in Opera /
