Web panel stealing focus while typing in main window
-
This is a problem with messenger.com fo shooo.
Are there any workarounds? -
I reported this issue as VB-65872.
-
HAve you noticed any regularity to it? To me it kind os eems random if this is happening or not. But it is highly annoying, I send my google searches to my chat contacts about once a day :-(.

Every single time with Whatsapp web panel.

Annoying.
-
happens to me as well
-
This has been happening to be since a recent update. I run tweetdeck in a web panel, and halfway through tying a URL, I'll all of a sudden be halfway through composing a tweet.
-
Yeah, this is the most annoying bug in Vivaldi, it is sad it is still there :-(.
-
Latest snapshot fixed "[Panels] Periodic reload steals focus (VB-76536)". Is it related?
-
@felagund
Most likely it is about the same bug.
It is - for me - solved now.
Try it out.
However, web panels cause that in new Vivaldi window the focus is not immediately in the address bar. -
Hard to tell, it was not happening for me always, but I hope so. I guess this can be marked as fixed @Gwen-Dragon, if it reoccurs, I would immediately come back:-).
-
@thangcuoi You can replicate it like this: have a downloads panel with active download in sidebar. Then switch to some webpanel you also have in a sidebar and the bug starts happening.
This happens also if you have Hangouts as webpanel and you get a new message notification. It will also steal focus.
I already reported a bug right now, it's VB-77386. -
@Gwen-Dragon Oh, I missed the rest of the thread when I replied a second ago.
So, can you tell when will it be fixed in the stable release? -
@Gwen-Dragon It's probably a duplicate of VB-37747, I meant when will the fixes from snapshot you mentioned before be available in stable release? Because it's probably related and I don't want to install a snapshot.
-
@tw9 It's up to you of course. I find the latest snapshot the best and it has more fixed issues than the stable.

You can see here https://vivaldi.com/cs/download/archive/ it usually takes less than two months to issue a new version so I would expect a new stable version in two or at most three weeks but bear David Hume in mind:-).

@felagund Thank you for your answer, I'll wait for two weeks then
-
Something similar is still happening. If you use F9 to direct the focus to the webpage (as opposed to using mouse click), you get the focus for around 1 second, then it's back to the web panel. Happens for example with messenger but with other panels as well, e.g. google translate.
To reproduce, do not use mouse and try to redirect the focus from active webpanel to the main page.

@gahaalt Would you fill a bug please?
-
@gahaalt Here there are no problems with F9, neither in Windows 10 nor in Linux Mint 20.1, both latest stable Vivaldi.
