Window is missing the border and drop shadow

[enc0re]

@mib2berlin Can confirm that. Finally. It took only 4+ months to fix this basic thing. Now, wait few more months maybe, to backport it to v5.6 stable.

Hi, I can understand your frustration partly but this is a optical glitch with low priority.
The developer have to decline what is important and what not.
I reported a bug in August and it is not even confirmed, it is simply not an important issue.
Only for me it is a important issue.

Cheers, mib

@enc0re There are plenty of much older bugs that have not been fixed yet. These are two of my bugs reported in 2017.

• (VB-32723) Select URL in Downloads Info Panel with Click (Confirmed) (14/9/2017).
• (VB-32724) Download URLs do not wrap (14/9/2017)

@Pesala

Dont be funny. Try to compare relevant things. Thing like "Download URLs do not wrap" can't be compared with bug like "Missing window borders". Just search other posts of people, or my posts where I was showing pictures, how cool is working with window without borders. It is definitely not optical glitch, but serious bug.

As I wrote in past, now don't get me wrong, but there are weird priorities and weird testing in V company. If developers are the ones telling which bug is important and which not and not some PM, then they definitely should listen to people which are using their product. And maybe sometimes read the forum.

Generally, developers have sense that only they have the right truth, or how to say that. How to use their product and what is right and what wrong. And we can see that on MS, Apple, Google, how crappy are their products.

I'm writing this everything not because I don't have to do only just complain about everything. I want to be Vivaldi finally, proper working browser out of the box.

My view on this comes from my work as IT Infrastructure guy for one hell big company, where developers are dependent on platform I deliver.

[Pesala]

@enc0re You missed our point entirely. We are not dismissing that the missing border/drop shadow is important to you, but it is not to us.

The bugs that I report, and publish on my Vivaldi review page, tend to be more important to me.

Everyone measures things with the tape measure of his own views.

[enc0re]

@Pesala No. You. Missed my point entirely. Btw, I wasn't the only one complaining about missing borders. Even, some other guys posted it weeks earlier than me. So, I'm not complaining about it because it is "my" bug. I even didn't filed bug for it...

Again, working UI elements, Basic UI elements (which window borders, window controls) must be important for every developer, because they are making obstacles to work properly with their software. Like not maximized windows with same background color overlapping each one without possibility to tell where is the edge of one and other window. Or running browser with Native window manager on Linux, where it disappears Min/Max/Close buttons? You still think those bugs are still same relevant than those on your page? For example "CSS Filenames do not Allow Spaces", "Search Engine Icons Disappear", "Alarm Shows Two Notifications" and so on. Nothing of them doesn't make using of browser problematic.

@enc0re Pretty sure the window border and drop shadow is fixed now.

[enc0re]

@Ayespy Yes, I confirmed that. However, it is bugged... Which leads me again to the question of testing.... Well, let's wait for another build.

Just move window a little bit:

Just installed the latest stable (5.6.2867.50) and it looks fixed to me! Thanks guys!

[mib2berlin]

@eb110americana
Hi, some user report issues with cut off Vivaldi UI in maximized state.
Can you test this, please?

Cheers, mib

5.6.2867.50 (Stable channel) (64 бита)
This problem is gone

[nelliott500]

@mib2berlin

No issue for me. I'm using 5.6.2867.50 with Windows 10.

[WonaBee]

Just to throw fuel on the fire here:
I actually liked having no border and would like there to be a (even if it's hidden) setting to get no border back. I tried to use a CSS hack but it didn't seem to work.

[DoctorG]

Issue should be fixed in 5.6.2867.50 Stable for OS older than Windows 11.

I am experiencing this issue. Maximized window on Vivaldi 5.6.2867.50 64-bit, on Windows 7 64-bit.
Maximized window, the Vivaldi browser extends beyond maximum screen size, similar to screen overscan on TVs.
Browser was not exhiubiting this behavior yesterday, 12/20/2022, but as of first open open waking computer dfeom sleep mode 12/21/2022, it is.

Monitor resolution is 2560x1440. Looking for a solution in a different thread, before search brought me to this one, I experimented with Use Native Window, which fixes the issue but at the cost of adding the Windows tabs on top of all submenu boxes and popups for Vivaldi.
Correct window position, manually adjusted without maximized window:

Maximized window, incorrect positioning:

Maximize glitch (with glitchy border) was added in 2883.3 and ignored by developers in 2887.3.

[mib2berlin]

@Vort
Hi, it is not ignored, this is a different bug and a fix is in progress.
@butcherike
Hi, keep an eye on the next change logs of the snapshot builds if the fix is included, bug number VB-93916.

Cheers, mib

[Vort]

@mib2berlin said in Window is missing the border and drop shadow:

this is a different bug

I mean that 2883.3 added two bugs: clipped UI in maximized state and non-symmetrical border in non-maximized state.
Are you talking about some other, third, bug?

[mib2berlin]

@Vort
No, one bug was fixed and one is in progress.

[eb110americana]

@mib2berlin
I am not experiencing this new issue. I tried maximizing with the status bar, and it looks correct, no clipping in Windows 10.
