Vivaldi 3.0 RC 2 – Vivaldi Desktop Browser snapshot 1874.15
-
@jon: I wish I could give you a way to reproduce it, but it seems to be a non-deterministic problem. I have a feeling, that it's related to video previews, triggered when you hover over them.
I've spotted the bug on https://pixabay.com/videos/search/ and https://www.shutterstock.com/video. Try to browse the catalog, start some video previews, open clips in new tabs...
-
@jon: I think I've got something new. I've just spotted this bug on https://yandex.ru/portal/video.
Just open the link and scroll down with triggering video previews until Vivaldi hangs. Confirmed 5 times in a row. Reported now as VB-65987.Here's a screen recording: https://imgur.com/a/TBh5GBX

@mozzer Confirmed but don't happen here with hardware acc. off.
(But can't be sure due the occasional nature of the bug) -
Sometimes, HW Acceleration off prevent to open sites (vivaldi.net included).
But I really hope is CNR (as hw off works for most people - even if it don't solve the issue (but just change the behaviour). -
@Hadden89 said in Vivaldi 3.0 RC 2 – Vivaldi Desktop Browser snapshot 1874.15:
Without hw acc. I can't even open sites (vivaldi.net included).
That's weird, I don't even see why vivaldi.net should have HW acceleration needed to be displayed. So far the only site where I have to set HW acceleration on to see daylimotion videos in Vivaldi, which I don't use anyway and go there periodically just to test if anything changed with or without that setting.
-
@iAN-CooG I was asking the same thing.
Guess I've to setup the (fourth) standalone install ^^, -

I can reproduce on this site with those instructions!
Vivaldi: 3.0.1874.15 (64-bit)
OS: Windows 10 1909 (Build 18363.778)
GPU: AMD Radeon 5700 XT
Driver: Radeon Software Adrenalin 2020 Edition 20.2.2
Can also confirm that it's the rendering process that hangs. Closing the Vivaldi process running with
--type=gpu-process
causes Vivaldi to start working again. -
@mozzer , this was useful. I am able to reproduce this way. Hopefully the devs can as well and they can find a fix. It is always easier when you can reproduce, although it takes some effort to do so.
-
We are working on a fix as we speak. Hopefully that will work.
-
@mozzer Yes, on this site is easier to reproduce. With hardware acceleration disabled, Vivaldi does not freeze but previews stop working after a while.
-
the debugger does not work, the buttons are inactive.
only through hot keys, and then through time -
This little issue is still present, I guess I mentioned too late. https://forum.vivaldi.net/post/361508

There's an argument to be made here, a good one, given the upset in the Chromium release schedule and the number of flies in the ointment that people have been talking about even in the RC stages, that 3.0 is pushed out to the Chromium 83 time-frame, which is a mere 30 days from today.
This would allow you to cruise in over the next month, with the only thing to do being putting out new Chromium 83-based snapshots and further bug fixes.
Circumstances have made this the perfect time to do this. Or, you could go the route it's pushed tomorrow and there's much wailing as we go to an extended series of bug-swatting minor updates.
Which way is more optimal?

@rseiler Trust in God and the developers. It's their project.
-
@kahukura I don't think God can debug Vivaldi, let's stick to real matters and trust just the devs
-
The fix did not work. We are now looking for the first build this got introduced. Anyone? 1862.3 crashed for me while 1854.5 did not.
-
@jon That really only leaves one more possible build:

@Pathduck , thanks. We did some investigation and we think we now know which build broke it. 1855.11, which is one of the internal builds. We make builds for every change we do and that is the first build we managed to reproduce the bug for. We are now investigating whether we can find a safe fix.

(VB-64179) When I start Vivaldi, the browser shows an empty menu.Unfortunately, this bug is still there. It's really annoying. It's caused by a bug in the notes parser. When I delete the Notes file in the user directory, everything works just fine. This doesn't happen in version 2.11.
I hope for a fix until 3.0 final comes out. Thanks.

@Pesala why not in the snapshot? isn't this testing branch to check bugs and get users reviews.
