Fixes, fixes, fixes – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 2254.3

@infosrefanvlad Please report a bug: https://vivaldi.com/bugreport/
(To find stuff like this is exactly what Snapshots are for) -
@Pathduck Of course. Reported as VB-78683.

The new
add bookmark
dialog box is a terrible use of space. The folder selection dropdown being replaced by a box that only shows 4 lines at a time is cumbersome to say the least. I also don't find this box with a drop shadow inside of a box very aesthetically pleasing. The previous dialog box with the large thumbnail utilized it's space much betterI preferred the previous behavior of saving bookmarks, now it saves to a location before I actually select where I want it to go. Before I could save a page to a new location by just resaving it using the bookmark button. Now it saves another bookmark to a new location instead of moving it.
Though this started with the previous snapshot as far as I know, but saving all that description (which really isn't a description) by default now is bloating up the bookmarks file. As does the multiple duplicates that can now be saved for the same page.
All these undesirable changes and folders are still unsorted.

The Embed and Go function is very unstable.
When you press the standard keyboard shortcut "Ctrl + Shift + V", the address from the clipboard in the address bar is added to the end of the address of the current page. It navigates to the wrong URL and displays a URL error message.
The function works correctly after restarting the browser for a while, then it stops working. -

@guigirl
.BookmarkPopup-LocationSelector {height: 400px;}
If you increase the box size, you'll also need to add this
.button-popup { max-height: unset !important; }
There is a max height set and the border around the dialog box will not extend beyond that setting otherwise

@sjudenim Haven’t seen any issues yet, but I’ll keep it in mind.

I agree that the settings around this can be a bit confusing and hopefuly they are reworked to be clearer. "Open Tabs in Current Tab Stack" affects links that you open while in a tab within a tab stack. e.g. middle-clicking a link will open it inside the tab stack if the setting is enabled, but outside if it's disabled.
The key thing here is that before 3.7, that setting also applied to new tabs. Now it doesn't. Until they say otherwise, I have to assume that's a bug.
The behavior should be all one thing or all the other, not an arbitrary mix.

@mtaki14 Thanks for the tip! I often use tab tiling not in a stack, and for the longest time I was frustrated by links from one of the tiles opening as part of the tiling (but I do want links from a stacked tab opening in the stack, so unchecking "Open Tabs in Current Tab Stack" isn't an option). If the tiled tabs are not in a stack, then "Remove from Tab Stack" doesn't show up in the tab context menu, and I hadn't realized that this command will remove a tile from a tiling if only one is able to access it (e.g. by a keyboard shortcut)!

I have a weird issue with the --user-data-dir switch...
This morning I opened Vivaldi (after it upgraded to this snapshot yesterday) and was shocked to find a weirdly borked interface - message that the speed-dial extension was blocked and a kind of Chrome-lite look. I was worried that it had something to do with the various blockers on this corporate laptop but noticed I could open a guest window which looked fairly normal.
So I tried re-setting my profile - renamed the User Data folder and restarted. Set up the profile as I liked and exited. Noticed that nothing had been saved in the newly created User Data folder! Re-started, checked "about" and see that the user profile is in the application folder instead (this is a standalone installation run with the --user-data-dir switch).
Exited again, moved the data from the application folder to the normal location, restarted... back to new user mode!
So in other words, what I think is happening is that this snapshot is not respecting the profile path set by the command line and reverts to the application directory instead. I'm okay with that - since I used the switch to prevent it saving data in my Windows user profile - but this seems like a snapshot bug to me.
Anyone confirm?
-
@mossman Follow-up: seems some things were stored in / read from the correct folder and others from the application folder version - when I deleted the copy in the old location and changed the command line switch to point to application folder instead I had to once again log in to Vivaldi sync and make a few changes in the settings...
It got weirder - it would still create an empty User Data folder in the old location (above the Application folder) and that's where it stores data when I run without the command line switch.
So I've moved everything back to it's original location and will just run Vivaldi without the switch from now on. The switch is definitely borked.

[fixed] I can't install any extension: the blue button called "Add to Chrome" is missing in the extension pages!
-
@gwen-dragon: Thanks, fixed: the "Web Store" checkmark was missing... I wasn't aware of that option (as I use extensions...), anyway.

@Gwen-Dragon said in Fixes, fixes, fixes – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 2254.3:
@newscpq Perhaps a previous downgrade and later update or other glitch broke the setting.
I confirm the existence of this problem.
-
One more to report... In the meantime, just posting it here, so it's known.
-
@infosrefanvlad Thanks for reporting. You need to submit a bug report to make sure it reaches the developers.
Please see How to Report a Bug.
I did it for you:
(VB-78708) Misaligned Buttons on Clock Dialog
-
calendar dates in Booking.com are a bit congested for me. were not visible at all until the previous build.
-
Still the same issue as the previous snapshot that occasionally on browser extension the overlay of it is not disappearing after using it. Ubuntu 2 systems can provide screenshot
-
Sorry for not leaving the issue as it was. Perhaps it was better this way. Issues piling up in Stable... I'm willing to let the new users uncover those marvels and be amazed.
When I submit bug reports, I'd rather do it properly. Perhaps if I just attach photos here I sound demanding and not like a person who does not want to forget to report stuff later.
I can only use certain time frames for bug reporting. If Stable's tab dragging worked, I wouldn't bother mixing Snapshots and serious work. If I am willing to let a bug be known (in hopes of a fix) at least let me report it.
Otherwise I might send a duplicate. I'd rather avoid that.

I've been getting the volume icon on the active tab's pop-up (regardless of whether the active tab is the one producing sound or not) since last Stable.
Just to be sure: Has this been reported yet? If not, I'd better do it.Reported as VB-78782.
