Further address bar fixes – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 2887.3

[Pesala]

@zavalita2002 A known issue.

That's nice.

@Pesala We shouldn't be having different behaviors (aka the startup session). I wonder why is that.

It was the case before in Vivaldi that periodic reloading was reactivated when loading a session from disk saved with periodic reloading active. Somehow this feature has been dropped along the way, perhaps to prevent other side-effects.

Going to ask as a feature request. A Vivaldi design principal is to avoid having to use extensions because its features pre-empt the need of extensions. In this case an extension would provide a functionality that Vivaldi does not (dropped intentionally or by accident), and so it would be a viable feature request (i.e. an extension would trigger a periodic reload by the web address rather than by session reload, as did Vivaldi, and by and large serve the same purpose).

Should be easy enough to test and confirm. Just download an older version from the archive and install as Standalone, use that for testing. How far back you'd have to go I wouldn't know - you're the one remembering this "used to work".

If you can show it works as expected in an older version, then it's simply a regression and should be reported as such.

@Pathduck If it proves to be an accidentally dropped feature, where does one report "regressions"?

[Pathduck]

@deneban Just like one reports regular bugs. If a regression it might be an idea to specify it in the report, along with the last version it worked as expected in.
