Solved Back/Forward navigation jumps two pages instead of one
-
@everfang I use only two fingers in Vivaldi with te rocker gesture. Hold down the left button and click the right button - go forward one page, hold down the right button and click left - go back one page.
-
I have this problem as well and have not been able to come up with a solution. Any assistance from the community would be very helpful.
When using my computer's trackpad, I use the 3-finger left/right swipe gesture to navigate back or forward a page. This is setup in my Windows trackpad setting as normal. When I've used other browsers, the function works fine, it navigates only one page. However, when using Vivaldi, two pages are navigated instead. I will even see the skipped page for a brief second as it navigates back to the 2nd one.
I've only recently switched to Windows from MacOS (after 10 years), so I assume there may be a setting somewhere I'm missing. Though, the function works correctly in Edge, the only other browser I've used on this computer.
@everfang Were you able to come up with a solution to this, or has the problem persisted?
Thanks, and I hope to hear from the community!
-
@Gwen-Dragon Thank you!! I had been using an old MacBook Pro for many years with no issue, but changed to a Windows machine earlier this week, when I noticed it happening. I'll go through and follow the links for reporting a bug.
Thanks for your help!

@Gwen-Dragon I reported bug VB-70155 about this: https://forum.vivaldi.net/post/387490
As a touchpad only user, this is extremely frustrating, and is one of the reasons why i cannot use vivaldi as my main browser.
-
@TheBestPessimist I'm glad I'm not the only one experiencing this issue. I had no problems using the swipe gestures on MacOS. Do you suspect there is something with the Windows touchpad, or with Vivaldi?

It's definitely a bug in Vivaldi.
I am sure of this as Firefox, Google Chrome, Chromium and Opera work correctly and only take me 1 page back in history.
Plus I have this problem on multiple Windows devices with precision touchpad -
Well I hope this is resolved since this bug seems to affect numerous touchpads.
I would ask the Vivaldi Community if you DON'T have this bug occurring, what touchpad or device are you using? It seems that this doesn't happen for everyone, so it may lead us in the right direction if we know what devices actually do function without this bug. (Of course, Vivaldi needs to address the bug as well.)
I also think the more this is brought to light and the more users with this issue, then Vivaldi will be more apt to address it.
As always, thanks for the help!

2 Years and still not fixed? It's super annoying.

The problem is with how the mouse is configured. Since Vivaldi has a custom interface, the mouse software isn't sure how to deal with it. Go to whatever software you have to configure the buttons and set both to Default button and they should then work properly.
-
As I had configured the mouse non-standard (button 5 for copy) I had to put it back to standard and then it is working properly for back and forth in Vivaldi / Windows.
I'm using the newest snapshot 3.7.2209.3. -
There is nothing magic in my mouse configuration. I use buttons 4 and 5. Every other program has no problems, just Vivaldi.
-
@Oomek Which version of Vivaldi?
-
Always up to date
-
@Oomek Have no idea how to solve it. It is working here in Windows and Linux.
Anybody else coming with an idea? -
Aw geeze...I was worried I was gonna find something like this. Brand-new Vivaldi user here and also having the same issue with both my mouse and Synaptics touchpad. I love Vivaldi but this kind of bug might be a deal breaker for me. Can't believe it's been 2 years without getting addressed.

You have to recognize that it isn't automatically a bug of Vivaldi if it is not working with your hardware and software.
Such issues are happening with I guess every program to a smaller minority of users. And very often the cause are any modifications, configurations or interferences with other programs.
If you have to deal with it you are free to investigate by yourself to find the culprit.
As soon as any user in this forum or another has an idea to solve it you have a chance to get the information. -
Thanks. I'm gonna file a bug report. The mouse that causes double back/forward events in Vivaldi is Razer Lancehead. When I remap the side buttons from Button4, Button5 to Alt+Left, Alt+Right the issue is not happening. But doing so has implications for other apps. Selective mapping for a single application based on focussed window is not always working right
-
@gworboys This thread is about a mouse issue.
-
@sgunhouse Yes indeed. Which is why I pointed out that the quoted reference number VB-48982 does NOT apply to this thread (it is not not about the mouse issue, I know because I reported that fault).
I also reported VB-48118 which is about this issue. Please understand that mouse buttons under windows send keyboard codes (VK_*), which is why I described it explicitly as such back in Aug 2019 (the message Gwen-Dragon was responding to). By describing which codes are at fault I am (I hope) providing relevant, hardware-independent, information for the developers.
-
@Gwen-Dragon The mouse issue is with key codes, mouses send key codes, but if you want a separate thread that's fine. I really only came back here because you'd replied to my old Aug-2019 post which made me thing something had changed. But the only change is another user reporting the same trouble. I have a work around using AutoHotKey so I'm not hanging waiting on this to be solved.
