Minor Chromium bump and a few fixes – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 2679.16

@doctorg: Does not work

guigirl

@helsten2 Does work here ok [via mouse d&d, & context-menu], albeit the d&d method, as ever, is tricky for me to get right in that it still sometimes misfires into no move at all, whilst other times it opens a new [third] window rather than drops into the target second window.

@mossman @newscpq I spoke to soon - I trusted it would work once I would receive a new email and said "Works for me" meaning that I would be satisfied if size was only available for new emails. Duh.

@Ruarí so no, the fix [Mail] Attachment and file size not shown in list view (VB-81162) does not seem to work after all...

@cOAPerator Hey, you are not alone, this looks exactly like what happened to me since the previous snapshot, the difference is that for me its on google.com mostly when accessing it thru a duckduckgo bang (ex: test !g).

For a moment i thought that clearing cache, application cache and site settings did the trick, and i was about to post the solution but now the bug is back so don't bother with it... it seems like a rendering issue the content it's still there you can even see it in the developer tools, just not rendered properly, have yet to test disabling all addons, cause it never happened in a private window, or maybe it's a driver issue that it's showing it face after latest chrom* versions changing something, didn't happened on other browsers tho.

Here's a vid of mine (I'm even blindly using the search box and clicking links as to show that the content is there and when you navigate away from google.com everything just works):

PS. It doesn't happen 100% of the time, sometimes it works for several minutes then starts doing it again, so it's not even 100% reproducible (Amd gpu btw).

@Sdar I seem to have found the reason - I have hardware acceleration turned on, if I turn it off, then the sites are displayed normally
but I will not turn it off, because otherwise on YouTube in 4k the video will slow down

Sdar

@cOAPerator Yeah, i was ignoring the blacklist and had enabled Zero-copy rasterizer and a few other things, sadly disabling that didn't solve the issue and disabling hw accelerations completely is just not a good fix for me either, will try to do more testing this weekend, as it's weird that stackoverflow works 100% of the time for me and probably google will work fine for you, that's why i thought that it may be from corrupted cache.

Btw Are you also using an amd gpu ot it's nvidia?

@cOAPerator I had the idea to try different Angle backends as iirc they had changed something on the dx11 one, with opengl was doing the same but the dx9 one seems to fail less, instead of blank page it usually just works and do a weird checkboard effect when scrolling on the affected page.

if you are interested the Angle backend can be changed on this url: chrome://flags/#use-angle

I have not only stackoverflow.com, but also medium.com and google too - white sheet and screen distortions

floating sidebar setting enabled - nothing twitches in the stable version

This is a feature!? Devs "fixed" the floating panel bar bug... I, too want the ~~unintended~~ undocumented feature!
(As an option? Or mod, with details for dolts like me?
The jitter you see is just the result of moving the page aside to make room for the panel bar...

я знаю. но это неправильное поведение - надо чтобы было как раньше
если панель плавающая - значит должна плавать вся, а не сдивигать весь контент при открытии
функциями в панели я пользуюсь очень редко - открыл, выполнил действие, закрыл - чтобы не мешала
а так выходит постоянное дергание контентной части сайта

I know. but this is the wrong behavior - it must be as before
if the panel is floating, it means that the entire panel should float, and not shift all content when opened
I use the functions in the panel very rarely - I opened it, performed an action, closed it - so as not to interfere
and so it turns out the constant twitching of the content part of the site

🪟 With fresh profile, after selecting "Full Featured" and adding a account, Vivaldi fails to start its Mail client.

RuninGag

@cOAPerator I understand; others have a different opinion: The Panel Bar is part of the UI, in their view, and should not "overlap" or cover up the web page...

iAN CooG

@RuninGag You're also right, and the actual solution for Vivaldi devs would be: make it optional.

The Vivaldi application occasionally goes black whilst horizontally resizing the Vivaldi browser window... Causes tabs to refresh and lose their content e.g. Figma. Wife has experienced this frequently today with multiple tabs (20+) open, and whilst using dev tools.

Has there been any progress on VB-86760, VB-86341, or VB-86883, i.e. sending tabs from Mobile to Desktop Vivaldi not working? It's a very important part of my workflow and I sorely miss it.

Two minor anomalies:

when loading a saved session, fixed tabs are created twice. However, not in the newly opened window, but in the already opened window. Very annoying.
The setting "Confirm closing of window" is not respected sometimes and a "confirmation window" opens.

Pesala

@trojanobelix Be aware that closing a window with pinned tabs will not close the pinned tabs, but will transfer them to an existing open window.

I did find that pinned tabs were created twice in another window when closing a window with pinned tabs.

There are two confirmation options: on window close, and on exit. Have you enabled them both?
