I think this bug needs fixing; it is a significant accessibility issue.

(VB-96359) Horizontal Menu Bar Does not Reach Top of Maximised Window (reported 30/3/2023)

Thank you for your effort to optimize performance! The last snapshot version was so laggy that almost drove me mad (400 tabs, I can't even type in address bar). And this version feels much smoother!

Icon overlap with native window (Show Title Bar unticked):

With Show Title Bar ticked:

Many thanks.

Downloading mostly working now, although still have some small downloads I tested (with Easynews), that hangs in the download queue, although they successfully downloaded - tested in Brave, which worked every time.

When you open a saved session with workspaces, why are new work spaces ADDED to existing ones? All I think should happen is that the pinned tabs and workspaces that you saved should be recovered into a new window. I tried to reopen a saved session, it added all my pinned tabs to existing ones then duplicated the pinned tabs in each workspace PLUS added the workspace tabs with one tab in each, with my homepage!! Is this a bug??

UI Zoom <100% still makes UI broken:

Logo and control buttons are weird
Tabs don't reach the top of window, causing me unable to scroll-switch tabs by moving the cursor to top and scroll

I use some css hack to fix these and they seem work perfectly:

#titlebar #pagetitle {
	scale: calc(1) !important;
}

#browser .window-buttongroup {
	scale: calc(1) !important;
}

#browser.win button.vivaldi,
#browser.linux button.vivaldi {
	scale: calc(1) !important;
	transform-origin: center left !important;
}




#header {
	min-height: calc(25px) !important;
}



.is-settingspage:not(.fullscreen, .native) .settings-header {
	top: calc(6px) !important;
	left: calc(100px) !important;
	right: calc(100px) !important;
	scale: calc(1) !important;
}

#browser.win .settings-header {
	top: calc(4px) !important;
	left: calc(140px) !important;
	right: calc(140px) !important;
}

.topmenu .horizontal-menu-pagetitle {
	scale: calc(1) !important;
}

Hi, do you report this to the Vivaldi bug tracker?
I found a report of a developer but it is only 4 days old and these cosmetic issues have lower priority than crashes, for example.

VB-96368
Vivaldi button with vertical or bottom tabs smaller than- and not aligned with other buttons

Cheers, mib

Writing my first mail on the new snapshot and man where did the send button go? Turns out it moved all the way on the right hand side. Is it wanted that way?

mib2berlin

@WildEnte
I guess not, we can move all around happily.

Cheers, mib

@WildEnte I noticed that as well. I removed the flexible space and added seven regular spaces to the right of the Compose icon, so it now looks similar to what @mib2berlin has displayed. The panel I have is wider that what's displayed.

WildEnte

@edwardp well that doesn't sound like intended

edwardp

@WildEnte I have confirmed it, so please feel free to report that as a bug (and post the resulting bug number). Thanks.

I don't really see the logic behind this:

Why shouldn't it be possible to hide the Title bar if tabs are on top and then toggled off, say with a hotkey?

If this below is possible with tabs on the side, why can't it be also done with the tabs on top? In some cases I'd like to temporarily toggle the Tab Bar for some extra vertical space, without having the Title Bar added.

Thanks for the quick fix on this

[BUG] The menu button does not get drawn onto the .mailbar (when using the hide titlebar option)

But why did you increase the size of the .mainbar so much? It doesn't look very good (imo) and makes the buttons inconsistent (size and highlighting).

New

For anyone interested, it's a quick fix

#browser.win.address-top .toolbar:has(.window-buttongroup.on-mainbar),
#browser.linux.address-top .toolbar:has(.window-buttongroup.on-mainbar) { min-height: unset !important; }

alternatively, you can set the size of the bar to anything you want with px value

My guess is so that it matches how it looks on macOS.

Personally, I love how this looks, but for anyone that doesn't like it, here's an equivalent fix for it to be compact on macOS:

#browser.mac.address-top .toolbar:has(.window-buttongroup.on-mainbar) {
    padding: calc(17px / var(--uiZoomLevel)) calc(12px / var(--uiZoomLevel));
}

Can anyone tell me if video playback on Apple Silicon products is working fine with this version?
Previous version was completely broken as I reported in comment and bug report.

Hi there,
since this Snapshot and the Snapshot before on MacOS, the browser gets high CPU usage and hangs, when you try to open a stream on twitch.tv
Maybe someone can have a look at it, thanks

PS:
Can't test it without extensions, because i have twitch always open and the browser reopens the twitch tabs on start.

mib2berlin

@Xeorkzys
Hi, you can disable all extensions and restart Vivaldi.
You can use the command line switch
--disable-extensions
and start Vivaldi from a terminal.
You can create a test profile.
All testers and developer test in clean profiles anyway, no extensions, all default.

Cheers, mib
