Solved Open Link in New Tab results in opening a blank tab when tiled
-
@pegla I'm unable to reproduce that here, in Vivaldi 5.0.2497.32 (64-bit on Windows 10 ver. 21H2). I've made a simple summary of the steps that you provided:
- Open at least 3 tabs
- Tile tabs 1 (left) & 2 (right), leave the 3rd untiled
- Open any link from tab 1 (left, tiled with 2) in a new foreground tab
Unless I missed something, doing so doesn't cause any issues for me - links from both tabs open normally here.
-
@pafflick Hm, how are your tabs configured?
In my case, if I open a link from one of the tiled tabs in a new tab, that tab is not automatically tiled with others, it opens as a separate one on the right side related to the tab I clicked the link in. -
Open 2 tabs and tile them
Press Shift and Click on any link on the left tab
A new blank page with blank address bar opens.
The two tabs are still tiled however.
-
@nightmaresama Yes, that is what I'm talking about. 2 Tabs stay tiled, that is normal behavior.
And tell me, did you try the same thing in private window? Since in my case, in private window it works normally compared to the standard window where it has this problem. -
It works normally in private window
and the 2 tabs remain tiled

@nightmaresama Confirmed for 5.1.2526.3 + 5.0.2497.32 Win 11
Please report bug to Vivaldi tracker -

@nightmaresama confirmed.

@nightmaresama Thank you, I was about to submit it, but you were faster

@pegla Similar here, only it doesn't show any wrong behaviour, as you can see in this screen recording. The new tab opens and it's loading properly. This is a regular (not private) window in a clean profile, Vivaldi 5.0.2497.32 (64-bit) on Windows 10 21H2, build 19044.1415. I wonder if there's still some key factor missing here.
//EDIT: I found it! Both tiled tabs need to be opened as foreground tabs. I realized that I always opened the second tab in the background (out of convenience), and when I tiled them, the faulty behaviour never occurred. I wasn't able to reproduce it on any of my old, tiled tabs either (perhaps for the same reason).
Anyway, I updated the bug report to add that missing detail.
-
@pafflick Well, that is something I would never figure out, since I never open tabs in background if I plan to tile them. But good thinking, who'd knew that that way of doing things can also have different reaction when tiled
-
@pafflick I'm now on 5.0.2497.48 (Stable channel) (x86_64) and I just confirmed the problem persists.
-
@smackesey I'm unable to reproduce that issue anymore in 5.0.2497.48. Please use a fresh profile and see if it occurs there too. For more information, please refer to the Troubleshooting issues guide.
-
Interesting, I tried in a guest profile and am no longer experiencing the problem. So presumably it's caused by some setting in my profile...
-
@smackesey
or there's some culprit in your profile - in which case, a reset might be necessary. Anyway, if you manage to find it, please post an update here.//EDIT: see my response below

@pafflick I can reproduce it with the latest snapshot:
(Makes me think someone's working on the "can't open URL/outside links problem...
)But it brings up another

1.17 KBThe capture doesn't seem to like tiled tabs! Is this new?
Oh, I see:Capture worked -on the focused tab, and captured its null content!
(Yes, I have set new tabs to open with a blank page! That's what I get for confusing page and browser view...
) -
@oakdaleftl OK, I realized this bug is reproducible only in certain conditions, and it was already discussed in another thread, so I merged them.
For any future reference, it'sVB-73575 Blank tab when opening a link in a tile -
@pafflick Thanks.

Update: Opening the link in a background tab works just fine! 5.2.2581.4 (Official Build) (x86_64)
(Not sure if this is new behavior... A couple of new snapshots have come and gone. Works in 5.1 stable, too. I'm sorry I'd not thought to try this before.)
