Google Docs Not Rendering Correctly: No Wordwrap, Text Cuts Off
-
@wynden , to use some Google services, you need to activate them.
Look in the settings of Vivaldi if is activated Crypto Tokens and the other services from Google.
Sometimes these are deactivated with an update and can be the cause, among others, of problems in GDocs. -
Thanks for the suggestion. I just checked and there is a green checkmark next to everything Google.

@wynden If you have a work GDocs account, you also have a private account (or at least very likely). Just use that to recreate the issue in a document and share it with a link. Instead of your work-related text just replace everything with dummy text from anywhere or the link I gave.
If this proves too difficult, then at least go through the troubleshooting steps:

This includes testing in a clean profile and disabling all extensions. -
Okay, I've added my personal google account to Vivaldi. Here is a link. Not sure this will enable others to replicate the problem, though, as it's rendering fine in other browsers and plainly not all Vivaldi users are experiencing the issue. I can screen grab it, but I suspect linking to the account will fail to replicate it until we can determine what triggered it to begin with. Unfortunately, as I say, I'm using a very basic install with no extensions and next to no personalization, so I have no guesses as to where the conflict is arising.

Regarding the troubleshooting steps, I have done 1 through 3, there are no extensions to disable. Third party cookies are "All" accepted and blocked in incognito only. There is no ad-blocker installed. I have deleted browsing data, tested in other browsers, and not found anything flagged in Windows security. So I have done all of that.
Everything worked as it should until yesterday. I was doing a live recording over Zoom and had tiled my script in a Google doc next to a live chat feed. That is the first time I discovered that the text of the script, which I had created a few days prior, had become inaccessible. Could find nothing in settings to fix it, and later discovered that all other Google Docs were now exhibiting the same display issue, but only in Vivaldi. None of the above steps have restored things to working order.
-
@wynden That looks fine, even after tiling with another page and untiling. You haven't been too clear on the exact steps to reproduce it so that might help. Does it have to be a zoom page?
Have you tested in a clean profile?
Give step-by-step instructions on how to reproduce in a clean profile.
-
Yes I expected it to look fine for you. I created the Google Doc a few days ago. Yesterday I opened it in a tab. I don't know whether it was already rendering incorrectly because I did not anticipate the problem and assumed that it was working as it had before. My Supervisor sent me a link to the Zoom meeting through Google Hangouts which I access through Gmail. I clicked the link and my Zoom software launched. My Super then sent a link to a Youtube live chat feed, which I placed in a tab next to the script in Docs. I broke these tabs out into their own window and then clicked the little square icon in the bottom-right of Vivaldi to tile them vertically. The Zoom meeting began and shortly I realized that the script was not rendering as it should. That is all that I know.
I have work to do and will not be able to respond immediately.
-
@wynden That sounds way too complicated to reproduce for anyone else.
You still have not tested in a clean profile?
-
That is out of my control, I'm just reporting my experience. The profile is so new it is virtually clean but, no, I have no time to make another at this moment. Will pursue that as time allows.

Hey, the same has happened to me. I'm on a Mac. My cursor doesn't really move, it just stays at the beginning of each line. It is worse on Slides, all the text is like merged together, it looks like the cursed text effect. It occurred suddenly when I was in the middle of classes. I think my document froze momentarily, and then it stopped working properly. I have tested Chrome and Safari, and the documents work fine, so I'm not sure what the problem is.
-
Just replying to say this same issue has happened to me on Windows. The problem started last night, I'm not sure why. I use tab tiling pretty frequently, so that might have triggered it, but I really don't know. I tried disabling extensions, deleting all extensions, deleting my history, restarting my computer, and updating Vivaldi, but I'm still not able to edit my documents unless I switch browsers. This issue applies to preexisting documents, new documents, and documents made by other people. I'm on version 3.7.2218.55
