Crash on moving tabs to new window
-
I can consistently make Vivaldi crash when selecting 2 or more tabs and dragging them out of the current window to a new window.
Can someone confirm it so I can open a bug?
ThanksEnvironment
- Vivaldi: 5.6.2829.3 (Official Build) (x86_64)
- Revision: c1318407586ec679cea98774733586f1aba76a74
- OS: macOS Version 12.6.1 (Build 21G217)
MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2019)
Processor 2.6 GHz 6-Core Intel Core i7
(it also happens on stable release)
I've used a new profile, a clean one (following this)... selected Essential on the initial startup configuration to minimize noise.
Steps to reproduce
- Open Vivaldi Snapshot
- Open 4 tabs (I have used different pages of vivaldi.com)
- Select 2 tabs
- Drag them out and release them
- Boom! Crash! (I have the .dmp file)
It doesn't happen when:
- A single tab is selected and moved out to a new or an existing window.
- Using the
Contextual menu of the tabs=>Move 2 Tabs=>To New Window.

Drag them out and release themI cannot reproduce this!?
Tried selecting 2 tabs (including current) and 2 (other) tabs, not including current.Could it be Mac specific??
Note: I don't have Vivaldi fullscreen so dragged up to create new
window. -
Yes, it is macOS specific.
I've tried it on Windows and it works ok.
I don't know in Linux. -

@maxdule
At least on macOS using that version or Snapshot 5.6.2839.3 it is still happening.
I will report the issue. I've tested it on 2 different computers (even with different macOS versions, Monterey and Ventura) and it is the same.

Bug report: VB-92971

@mdaloia I am one of the Mac testers and so far, I have not been able to reproduce this. I tested on my M1 Mac running macOS Monterey and again after upgrading to macOS Ventura.
Are you currently running Vivaldi Stable or a Snapshot build? I will try to reproduce again with whatever specific build you are using.
-
@mdaloia FYI, I was able to trigger a crash with the 5.7.2883.3 Snapshot on macOS 13.1 using your steps-to-reproduce and I have confirmed VB-92971 in the bug tracker.
-
I can reproduce the crash consistently with 5.6.2867.46 (Stable) as well.
-
@xyzzy Thanks! I hope that it could be fixed soon
-
This happens to me too on macos, hope it gets fixed asap.
-
@maxdule The bug has not been picked up by a developer. I just reconfirmed that it still reproduces with all of the latest builds and will see what I can do to get this some more attention on this internally.

@xyzzy Hi there, I'm joining the pity party. I'm also seeing the same behaviour on Ventura 3.1 with a Mac M1 chip and version stable (see details of my computer and installation below.).
When I select a tab and drag it off a tab bar, so as to open it in a new window of its own, Vivaldi crashes consistently. It's been doing it for some time, but I can't recall with which version the behaviour began.
-
I just noticed that disable --smooth-scrolling is flagged in my preferences, so I tried enabling smooth scrolling, and the behaviour continues. So that appears to not be a factor.
-
FYI, the developers are currently working on VB-92971. It's a weird bug. It takes very specific actions to trigger the crash and so far, I have only been able to reproduce the crash on macOS.
-
On windows 10 this is easily replicable.
Just open a new tab, type in youtube (or some other large slow loading site).
As the page is loading, drag the tab into a new window and viola: all windows crash. This actually occurs to me pretty often as sometimes I open a new window for youtube or spotify to run in the background.

@smdfj29g Thanks. I have created a bug for this issue (VB-95503) and am now waiting for the QA team or another Soprano to confirm it.
VB-92971 has also now been fixed internally but I still waiting to receive a build that contains the fix.
-
The same behaviour occurs with macOS. Infuriating!

@maxdule said in Crash on moving tabs to new window:
Is there a workaround anyone aware of, other than not using the browser?
See this part of my initial post (https://forum.vivaldi.net/post/622024):
It doesn't happen when:
- A single tab is selected and moved out to a new or an existing window.
- Using the Contextual menu of the tabs => Move 2 Tabs => To New Window.
particularly the 2nd item... select 2 or more tabs and do that.
I've been using it since I found it and got used by now
-
FYI, VB-92971 is still open. Something is holding up the fix but I don't know what.
