Always secure, and media fixes – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 2718.3

AltCode

@janrif As mentioned by @Pesala, these show up when the panels have no content. To get the others to appear:

The mail panel must not have any mail account set up.
The contacts panel must not have any saved contacts.
The feeds panel must not have any feeds.
The bookmarks panel must not have any saved bookmarks.

This is why it is easiest to see these icons on a new profile, since there won't be anything in the panels.

The bookmarks panel is the sole exception, and the one you're least likely to ever see since every new installation or profile always comes with built-in bookmarks, so you have to delete them to see it at all.

So, in order to see/use the new set of icons, the user must open a new profile & then..... what?...... sync all data or?....

Regression
Devtools UI inspector no longer appears when pressing F12 in Settings...

Ugh, being forced to use Inspect Apps again to do modding, hope this is not intentional?

I'll report, but not sure how to word the issue, after all this is not expected behaviour from users I guess, it was just a neat and quick way to get to the UI inspector.

They are just eye candy shown when the lists are empty. You don't need to see them...

Aw, gee whizz, Dad!

AltCode

@Pathduck I don't think it is intentional. I'm still able to use that other very similar "Toggle Developer Tools" command through quick commands.

There was also a problem with using command chains (VB-90317), which is how I normally open the devtools to inspect the UI. Probably a separate issue though.

Pathduck

@AltCode Right, thanks for that - I'm still able to open with the other hotkeys (I use Ctrl+Shift+C for inspector)

Maybe I'll start using that instead... Just so used to F12 everywhere.

.....well, then, as one user, I wonder why any development time was spent on them when so many other things need to be done which I do see every day.

Pesala

@janrif No development time was spent on them. The Designers are responsible for such changes.

My best guess is that they did that just to pass the time, whilst the build-server was busy compiling the recently completed native TST, so as to be ready for the new Snappie being released in 42' time.

That guess is as good as any other.....

Before i do so, has anyone already reported the missing Bookmarks Panel scrollbar?

Ayespy

@guigirl Yes, it's reported. Since you also reported it, I confirmed it.

guigirl

@Ayespy Thankee kindly, good sir knight.
