closing and open vivaldi again "fixed" it

@aryandevasagayaum: Out of interest, does the switch --disable-direct-composition-video-overlays allow you to work around the issue?

@DoctorG

P.S. See also https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1415122 and note the google people in that bug state that they have several issues with video-overlays currently.

@pathduck, @ourostra @DoctorG See my comment further in the thread. Basically can you try with --disable-direct-composition-video-overlays. Also check out the Chromium bumps such as https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1415122

I hope the next version will not be released with the bug VB-94893.

I don't expect a fix in the next (stable?) version

Yes, that seems to fix it

The test case is also good:

This case is bugged on Chrome/Chromium 110 as well which is good. I was struggling to find good test cases, and Vivaldi seemed to only trigger on YT videos after switching tabs, while Chrome did not, like this video (480p max):

It also triggers consistently on this Steam sale page but that's not going to be up forever:

Here's another good case which will stay up:

Man, I love seeing Chromium devs starting to break a sweat as they realise the extent of the bug

Sadly, the reproducible crash (VB-94834) CRASH when closing a page after downloading a video, related to AdBlock Plus is still not resolved in this build. Tested on a clean RC1 with just ABP installed. More info in the bug report.

@Pathduck Wondering why I wasn't affected xD

didn't touch the flag. yet.

Btw, I'll take the risk of being totally skew'd. ^^

[sjudenim]

Still having issues with video affecting the UI and got a crash to boot.

Streamed a video in full screen, left full screen and tried to close the tab, instant crash.

UI is unresponsive for me when leaving Vivaldi's full screen mode (no UI) as well

On the bright side, the speed dial background no longer shows through on mouse overs of videos

[treego]

Just curious, what are the new features to be featured in Vivaldi 5.7? I don't use the Snapshot versions at all.

[Preorian]

Not fixed and is fine in the current stable: (VB-93838) The new default Panel width is forced back after restart

[DoctorG]

@Ruarí Yes, that works.

[AltCode]

@treego The biggest addition seems to be upgrading the window_ panel into the window(s) panel. There's also an auto mark emails as read option for the mail client, a bunch of changes to how autocomplete is handled in the address bar, and a bump to Chromium 110.

Custom buttons and workspaces were also added, but right now they are both still hidden behind separate toggles in vivaldi://experiments.

There's a new update for the desktop Snapshot branch - please test it out and let us know how it works! Thank you!
