Note to my previous post : In Vivaldi prefs window. Not vivaldi://settings

@tonyd1 said in New V Crashes on settings:
In Vivaldi prefs window. Not vivaldi://settings
What's the difference? If I go to Vivaldi preferences (via menu or
cmd+,
) orvivaldi://settings
, I land on the same page. Do you meanchrome://settings
, instead ofvivaldi://settings

Does it still crash after updating to Vivaldi 3.1.1929.34
-
@hlehyaric I mean this occurs in V prefs via menu in own seperate window. I wanted to be clear that it does not happen in chrome://settings.
@Chas4 i downloaded the update Vivaldi 3.1.1929.29 (Stable channel) (64-bit)
yesterday. 6/12/20I want to add this crash also happens in V prefs while hovering mouse over a checkbox. When a tooltip appears it will also crash.
I hope that is less confusing. thanks

@Chas4 Checked for updates Just updated to:
3.1.1929.34 (Stable channel) (64-bit)Same problem.

It's always appreciated when any crashes on macOS get reported and you submit crash logs.
If you can get the crash to reproduce reliably and can provide detailed steps-to-reproduce, that is ideal. The developers usually cannot fix any crash unless they can reproduce it.
If the crash is intermittent, you can still report it, but be sure to submit the crash logs along with a description of what you were doing when the crash triggered.

@xyzzy FWIW, I don't have any crash when I play with settings in the latest stable. But I'm on Sierra, the other posters are on Catalina and El Capitan.

To anybody experiencing this crash, does the problem go away if "Open Settings in a Tab" is enabled in the Appearance settings?
A while ago, the devs started work on some changes to make the Vivaldi windows open faster, and I think that this code is currently only being used for the Settings/Preferences window at the moment.

Bug report submited. 06/15/20
@xyzzy Yes it still happens. It does take longer though.
-
@tonyd1 Oh well. It was just a hunch on my part. Thanks for testing.
Did you send your crash logs in as well by replying to your bug confirmation email? I found your bug report (VB-68746) but no other information, and the devs and QA team will need the stack backtraces in order to analyze your specific crash, and this is especially so if internal testers cannot trigger a crash with your steps-to-reproduce.
@arturoga If you could also kindly report your crash as well, we would greatly appreciate it!
Thanks!

@arturoga You can also find the crash log in Console.app
At one time, the Vivaldi team used a procedure, that I wrote up, which involved finding the crash report, copying/pasting the individual crash report into a text file, then sending that text file as an email attachment. To make things easier, they published a command that zip'ed up all the Vivaldi crash logs for the past week.
-
@xyzzy Yes per a e-mail request from Vivalteam.

Hello everybody. Don't know if this is relevant to the discussion or not...eventually move this to where it suits you fine.
Just submitted a bug report for Vivaldi latest build quitting without opening up on macOS Catalina 10.15.5
No crash logs found in the Diagnostic folder of both user and system Library.
Only trace found appears to be:
com.apple.xpc.launchd[1] (com.vivaldi.Vivaldi.3848[2195]): Service exited with abnormal code: 21
...in system.log -
Any different with todays Vivaldi update?

@Chas4 With new 3.1.1929.40 (Stable channel) (64-bit)
Initially yes the problem was still apparent. In other words my 1st 3 launches the crash was still happening. But it did take longer for that same behavior.I kept trying to see if it would occur regularly. So far I have yet to have it happen again. After 1 1/2 hrs of browsing with prefs window open & making changes then closing it opening scrolling open etc. I have yet to repeat the crash.
So fingers crossed it has been corrected. (I believe so)YAY Team Vivaldi! Thank you

OK. Checking smooth scrolling & use hardware acceleration to on then restarting brought the crash back. I did that out of curiosity. I will leave those two off.
All is ok again
-
@tonyd1 Does enabling (or disabling) "smooth scrolling" alone have any effect on your ability to trigger a crash?
chrome://flags/#smooth-scrolling
is not even supported on macOS and the Vivaldi setting just changes the value of this flag through a command line argument when the browser gets launched, so it should be ignored.I filed a bug to have this preference removed on Mac years ago but the devs said that things could be left as is. On Mac,
#smooth-scrolling
is always enabled in the Chromium code, with no controls to turn it off, so this setting should not have any effect on stability or performance. If this is not the case, please let me know and I will have this investigated further. -
@xyzzy said in New V Crashes on settings:
#smooth-scrolling
I enabled then disabled both in Vivaldi General settings > Webages settings > Checkbox Smooth Scrolling on (crash) Off ( no crash.)
Same actions for Hardware Acceleration. Even worse if both were checked on at the same time.You are correct In Flags / Experiments both smooth scrolling & hardware acceleration are - "Not available on your platform."
I didn't know they were not available on my platform. But it made a difference.
I have no idea why they are in V settings. Except for uniformity among platforms. (?)On a side in the forum sometimes the suggestion is given for users to try with hardware acceleration off to see if that helps to solve a problem. Or something to that effect. Am I misunderstanding when I read that. (I've seen that suggestion in both Mac & windows forums.)
Thank you.
