@aaron: I am listed because I could edit it but BlackIkeEagle is the real maintainer. I would only edit it if he was out of action for an extended period.

Hmmm, given various breakages, above, methinks i might first try the update in one of my Arch VMs, just to be safe...
// OK, works fine in my VM... now to try
the real deal
...
// ...aaaaaaaaaaaaaand,
5.4.2706.3
also fine in my real Arch. -
@guigirl Works for me, so
-
Update on Debian 11, Ubuntu 20 LTS and Mint 21 works nice.
No trouble. -
@Aaron fwiw:

@guigirl Ah! Thank you so much! you are so kind

@guigirl Ooooh, well, that was very unpleasant. I am now back in
5.4.2704.3
with the restored profile directories i'd backed-up as a precaution before the upgrade. I had been browserising along just fine [Default profile, as usual] in5.4.2706.3
when all of a sudden, partway thru a Feeds YT, & with me separately opening one of my web panels... BOOM... the UI vanished except for a window bearing this crash message suspiciously similar to those others have already posted above:An error occurred TypeError: Error in invocation of webViewInternal.setZoom(integer instanceId, number zoomFactor, optional function callback): No matching signature. at WebViewImpl.setZoom (extensions::webView:277:19) at ChromeWebViewElement.setZoom (extensions::guestViewContainerElement:92:24) at Sne.componentDidUpdate (chrome-extension://mpognobbkildjkofajifpdfhcoklimli/bundle.js:1:2381316) at ys (chrome-extension://mpognobbkildjkofajifpdfhcoklimli/vendor-bundle.js:1:784531) at Lc (chrome-extension://mpognobbkildjkofajifpdfhcoklimli/vendor-bundle.js:1:801246) at t.unstable_runWithPriority (chrome-extension://mpognobbkildjkofajifpdfhcoklimli/vendor-bundle.js:1:1183838) at Hi (chrome-extension://mpognobbkildjkofajifpdfhcoklimli/vendor-bundle.js:1:743435) at zc (chrome-extension://mpognobbkildjkofajifpdfhcoklimli/vendor-bundle.js:1:797985) at vc (chrome-extension://mpognobbkildjkofajifpdfhcoklimli/vendor-bundle.js:1:794096) at chrome-extension://mpognobbkildjkofajifpdfhcoklimli/vendor-bundle.js:1:743658 Please consider reporting the issue at https://vivaldi.com/bugreport/ to help us fix it.
Several attempts to relaunch V went immediately to the same crash window & message.
From terminal i could successfully launch one of my other profiles, & then from that good UI i could also launch my third profile. However, all attempts from these other profile UIs to then launch my Default profile, lead instantly back to its same crash window & message.
I chose then not to further investigate, but instead stage a tactical retreat. I reinstalled
5.4.2704.3
, restored its corresponding pre-upgrade config files, then successfully launched my Default profile with my normal launcher.Something is a bit dodgy with this new Snappie...

@guigirl Sadly we have some similar bug reports about "WebViewImpl.setZoom" in tracker
VB-90041: "snapshot crashed on start up (invocation of webViewInternal.setZoom)" - Duplicate of VB-90022
VB-90022 "[reg] Crash when opening panels" - Internally fixed now. -
@christiehmalry: Thanks for reporting this. I've now had this crash on two machines - had to uninstall and revert to an old version. I dare not restart the browser as it had "unpdate ready" and will autoinstall right into another crash:-( I think this is the worst update I've had from Vivaldi in a good number of years.

I can reproduce the error by selecting one of my additional panels (the game 2048) but, luckily, I can recover by pressing F4 to make the panels disappear, then I can browse normally in the main window.
Of course pressing F4 again to make the offending panel reappear, the error is displayed again, and I can get rid of the error window by quickly selecting the Downloads panel while pressing F4 frantically, because it takes a fraction of a seconds between the display of the panel and the error to appear.
Now I'm bound to NEVER selecting any webpanel outside the internal default ones. -
@guigirl this looks to me like the old typical message when trying to open a 2nd mail window, only zoom related this time, so I categorize it as harmless in my book
-
@npro it's not totally harmless, at least in my case, the error message is a bit invasive and the UI seems to be completely unresponsive, it's hard to even select another native webpanel to make the error disappear.

No, we edited the book. It's now...
Mostly Harmless
-
@broomass: It is. I have to install stable version to prevent endless of install/uninstall by the "unpdate ready"option on with old profile.

I asked a while back what this new-fangled "Webview" thing was:
https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/76077/what-are-webview-render-processesThe conclusion seems to be they are some kind of quantum particles. No wonder then, it's either crash or no crash - depending if they decide to be up, down, north, south, in, out, alpha or omega today.

@Pathduck Aaaaaand, pl-ease do NOT forget the Tongue Factor!

Also...
Ugh, so now that's quite a lot of us who've experienced this crash, albeit not immediately post-update. Will you persist, or rollback this one too [given i'm certain that you did b/u your data first, ofc]?
-
I hope the crash of UI with WebViewImpl.setZoom will get fixed the next days, internally a fix was done today.
