There might be a small delay in getting updates on Linux because of server side caching of the repo meta-data. This is being corrected now. If you cannot wait, download the package manually.P.S.First Post -
Interesting.
-
Perfect, all the lately reported regressions are fixed. Looks like we are getting this one week earlier than usually.
-
Thanks for the fix on VB-56742! It's working now

regarding this update...
[Bookmarks] Can’t tell folders and bookmarks apart when bar is set to “text only” (VB-50511)
that is not quite what i requested. i specifically recommended to put the down arrow after the folder name, like in example 2, so it can have clearer text separation between folders and bookmarks. otherwise there will be visual confusion, because the text transition between folder and bookmark will look like one sentence. please fix.

folder▾ folder▾ bookmark bookmark <-- This way is best. -
I do think you will have a lot of complaints on the "beforeunload" fix if you release this as Stable without improving it or reverting the change. Just sayin'
-
Linux users should all update reliably now

This, 2.8 regression that appeared in build 1649.4 19 days ago is still unfixed,
and I don't know how to report it,it depends on specific background images that are dark at the top left and light at the top right, or dark at the top and light at the bottom (who knows...). 2.8 changed/reverted? the behavior and is basing the tab fonts on the right/bottom (light) side, making the fonts of inactive tabs also dark, thus invisible : https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/39775/fix-for-bookmark-editor-freeze-vivaldi-browser-snapshot-1650-3/8see also thread with test image:
https://forum.vivaldi.net/post/313648I'll try to report it because so far there has been no response from anyone
/edit:
Reported as VB-57560 with testing Wallpapers and expected/actual behavior image results attached .

Nice, hope VB-51539 will solve some "wait for vivaldi close" seen recently ^^
Other than VB-49541 (theme hex bug) I also see (again) another bug which was solved time ago: "first character in theme name can't be escaped". Actually you can't remove it at all. You have to replace the character via highlighting to the remove the first one (which is suboptimal).
Let me know if it is reported, known, merged on another bug ecc ecc -

Yes - report it and try to describe as closely as possible what's happening. Include screenshots if you can - you can attach to confirmation email reply, or link to an image.
I can see the same but I don't use this feature and I think not a lot of people do.

Not if you have very long folder names that get truncated like this:
folder▼ very-long-fol... bookmark -
This isn't very good. I already had F10 assigned to something else, now I'm in this situation:
It's easy to fix, but undesirable, and might confuse users who weren't expecting F10 to be reassigned to something else.
-
@LonM It would make more sense if ALT would focus the main menu like it does for the V-menu ...
-
@QuHno If only the alt key would be implemented correctly, it's a long standing bug that if you press shift-alt and release the alt key, the V-menu pops up anyway, which is super annoying for those using shift-alt for foreign input methods.
So far the only workaround was to add a setting to completely ignore the alt key for menu activation, which is IMHO an half-done fix. -
On the subject of F10, look what it does in windows explorer:
That's certainly an interesting idea as an alternative to accelerator keys.
-
@iAN-CooG press ALT+SHIFT and release the SHIFT key first instead ...
... oh, wait! Why did my keyboard switch to a different language?
Yes, those are looong standing BUGs: VB-18560 "invalid", VB-21140 "won't fix" - for whatever reason.
-
I remember there used to be the option about having "transparent tabs", has it been silently removed?

@iAN-CooG What @QuHno said, the default language switching shortcut since Windows 3.1 -I don't know when- has been Left Alt+Shift not Shift+Left Alt
It's a joke, right?
