Text in input fields sometimes enters backwards

DoctorG

VB-48283 "Text shown in reverse order after drag&drop to Vivaldi UI" - confirmed, updated for last 5.3 Snapshot & 5.2 Stable.
Same issue on Chromium 101.0.4951.67 & 104.0.5061.0.
A Chromium issue! Has to be fixed by Chrome Devs.
See:

@srcpu42n said in Text in input fields sometimes enters backwards:

4 years later and this still has not been fixed!

Just report to Chromium devs to fix it at https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/list.

That's interesting. I was aware of the bugs on Chromium (its been mentioned before). I assumed that was fixed (wasnt there a post that those were closed or have they reopened?). Also, I can no longer reproduce it on recent Chromium builds, currently version 101.0.4951.64 which is mentioned specifically as being affected.

@srcpu42n
Yep, these are the steps to recreate for me. I switched to Edge and this issue has not appeared.

So i can reproduce this bug in Fedora 38 and Vivaldi 6.0.2979.22 and there is no fixes to this day? Interesting.

@Sigmanor have you tested on guest profile or a new copy of vivaldi? It happens there too? Do you have extensions, especially the ones which manipulate the text?
The original chromium bug is fixed, so I guess the cause is another.

Sigmanor

@Hadden89 Yes, I can reproduce this bug on the fresh vivaldi installation (video) and in the guest profile (video)

@Sigmanor then do a new report as you can still replicate that easily.

Issue is still present till this day. I have tested Manjaro, openSuse (Leap an Tumbleweed) and Steam Deck. All are running KDE Plasma. Present with a fresh install as well as a synced profile

The issue isn't present in macos or windows builds. Also noticed that it's working well in Brave, so it shouldn't be a Chromium issue.

It's really heartbreaking to face this dumb issue, and to see it hasn't been resolved yet. And combined with the fact that the native adblock is not working with youtube ads all that well, and the missing "element picker" for custom rules, I just can't stay using Vivaldi any more. I'll keep an eye on it for now. Hope this is resolved soon
