I will test, but tell:
- Which Vivaldi?
- Which OS?
- Is the order in tabs cycler "recently used" or "tab order"
I tried: 6.0.2979.15 Win 11 22H2 , Tab Cycler Order: Recently Used.
Works for me.
I tried many Ctrl+Tab and it switched between the two used tabs. -
This system is OS X 12.6.4; This Vivaldi is 6.0.2979.15 (Stable channel) (x86_64). "Active in Recently Used Order" is selected in Settings.
And I'm finding sometimes, at random, seldomly, when I CTRL-TAB, I'm not where I think I should be. It works great on recent 5.7, so I've gotten used to it working again; I use this laptop with 6 less often, so I don't see the behavior as often. But something absolutely feels off. I'm finding myself on tabs that I'm confident I wasn't just looking at.
I wish it was obvious and easily reproducible, but it just isn't.
Maybe it only happens on Mac; I don't use Windows enough to notice.

And that is the real world problem: if no internal tester and dev with a Mac or other OS can reproduce it, the report will not get the state Confirmed.
Please report the issue to bug tracker so we get a fresh report for 6.0 Stable!

Once I'm confidence this is real and I'm not imagining it, I'll try filing a new bug.
Thanks.
-
@jvivaldi885 Yes, i hope for you this time a internal with a Mac will reproduce it.

This is such a frustrating tendency with Vivaldi. There are countless bugs I literally record on video and when I post about them they never get any attention because "[shrug], it works for me. Closed. Wontfix. Sucks to suck."

@Aelius Sorry for you, but i did not close the bug.
I can understand your disappointment.I appreciate that users report bugs and create videos. I will link your posts and videos to the new report of @jvivaldi885 an add a link to forum.
That's all i can do for you users.//EDIT:
Waiting for a report from @jvivaldi885 or @Aelius - who want to write a report? -

Okay, I created a report. VB-97263.
Windows 10 (Build 19044.1865) • 6.4.3160.41 (Stable channel) (64-bit)
-
@Aelius Was set to Confirmed.
And i added your Gif to the report. -
Figured I'd chime in that I'm experiencing this exact same problem. Some times it switches fine to the most recently used tab. Other times it will switch to a random tab. I do the exact same thing as shown in the gif, just repeat control + tab. It should alternate between the same two, but it ends up jumping to other random tabs.
Vivaldi 6.1.3035.84 (Stable channel) (x86_64)
Revision 7c36767a3c3113596404ebc711017cc85c93a48e
OS macOS Version 13.4 (Build 22F66) -
@coldkreap Hmm, I think I may have experienced this as well. But it may have been in combination with moving the mouse as well. Opera certainly had that problem in the past.
-
I captured my own gif. i select the first tab and the last tab with the mouse. then pressing ctrl+tab it should alternate between tab 1 and tab 4 but you'll see the 3rd tab gets tossed in there. then it alternates between tab 3 and tab 4 before it ends up jumping to tab 1. Did this with just my left hand on the two keys. I did not touch the mouse or the touchpad.
Note, i did this in a "guest profile window" as i had seen mention somewhere about profile issues.

@DoctorG this bug is still in Vivaldi codebase, even the today's release bring no solution. Do you have any estimates on this?

VB-43529 "Not properly cycling tabs by recently used order..." - No dev assigned for a fix. -
@DoctorG @jvivaldi885 @Aelius
I've noticed that the occurrence seems to hinge on the timing of pressing and releasing the keys.For those looking to consistently reproduce the issue, consider assigning a single key, like F1, to the "Tab Cycler Forward" shortcut.
On Mac OS, while we have the default Ctrl + Tab, you can also enable "Single Key Shortcuts" and choose any single alphabet key.Once you have multiple tabs open and use the shortcut, you might see the discrepancy.
For tabs registered internally in the browser's history as A, B, C, and D, I expected them to rearrange to B, A, C, D after using the shortcut. However, they shift to B, C, D, A, which oddly seems like the "Previous Tab (Recent)" behavior.
Additionally, mapping "Tab Cycler Forward" to a mouse gesture yields the same outcome.
Hope this helps shed more light on the issue.

For what it's worth, after my post I gave up and downgraded to the last known good version of Vivaldi: 5.7.2921.68
I haven't had any problems since. This works for me, although it's disappointing.
Recently, I had to wipe my Mac Mini 2018. I installed 5.7, but the latest 6.1 (6.1.3035.302 (Stable channel) (x86_64)) got installed almost immediately before I could turn off automatic updates. On a clean installation, full format, no restore of user-data, 6.1 works so far just fine; I don't know if this is because it was fixed, or because Vivaldi gets damaged during an update and that introduces this problem. It's a mystery.
Maybe deleting every single aspect of Vivaldi, then installing a new version from scratch, resolves the issue?
Once I get a working version, I'm afraid to upgrade again; It's so disruptive to have this broken. I'm now on a recent (latest) 6.1 on the Mac Mini and on a MBP 2023 (brand new Vivaldi install). So far, it seems to work. I guess I'll report back in 8-12 months if I decide to upgrade again. shrug

@Aelius I see this was a duplicate of
