Disappearing Mail Search Bar [Resolved]
-
Sporadically when I enter Mail > Unread or > Received or > All Messages, all the right stuff pops up in the mail panel. All the email items seem to be ok but I cannot search them b/c the Search Bar is no where to be found. Please don't ask me for steps to reproduce as I can't. This issue has presented itself 3x since I'm using Vivaldi. Not a bad track record but strange indeed. It's not permanent, i.e. I can fix it. Maybe it has something to do with Windows update. I'm lost. Anyone have an idea or theory? I don't even know how to report it b/c I don't have enough detail for the Bug Busters. TIA

@janrif, could you take a screenshot next time you see the view without search and share it with us?

Here you go, @jane-n

@janrif Right-click the toolbar, Edit -> Customize Toolbar. There is an option for Mail Search. On Linux, it is on the Toolbar by default/new installation.

@edwardp hard to do when the entire toolbar is missing

@edwardp said in Disappearing Mail Search Bar:
@WildEnte I see it now.
@janrif Have you gone into the customize settings and selected to restore the default toolbar? It is strange that the entire toolbar is gone.
No I have not b/c I was trying to figure out if there was a pattern that I could report.

I'm facing the same issue!

@Slopz and @janrif do you by any chance use custom css that might mess with what toolbars are shown?
If you don't, I wonder how your toolbars could possibly go missing. What happens if you ...
- start off by editing another toolbar (e.g. right click the mail panel icon,
- then go to edit - customize toolbar),
- then select the mail toolbar from the dropdown menu
- and select "reset toolbar to defaults"?
-
I also have this issue, it started with 6.0 update I think.
The toolbar is present when V is started, but disappears after some time - no idea what triggers this.No custom css, no UI customization at all actually.
Resetting toolbar(s) does nothing. -

Nope

It resets to default toolbar, including the missing pieces which is meaningless at the moment b/c Vivaldi restored the toolbar on its own. It's arbitrary. The next time the problem presents itself -- if it happens -- I will follow your suggestion & add to this thread. Thanks for your interest.

I had the same problem, missing the entire toolbar with Search, delete, mark as read etc.
I tried resetting all toolbars as you said and after restarting Vivaldi, the toolbar shows up nice! Thanks!
FYI, I never customized the toolbar or messed with it in any way. Just noticed it went missing somewhere after the 6.6 upgrade.
-
Update: The toolbar just disappeared again today.
Seems that the fix is not permanent. Something might be corrupting it. But I don't know how to diagnose further. -
@SilverGreen93 Have you selected the settings (sliders) icon in the Mail Search field?
Selecting that shows this:
There is also a Mail Search option in the Toolbar Editor, if it's the actual search field that is missing.
-
@edwardp All buttons in the toolbar to the right of, and including, the Mail Search box are missing.
The only thing that fixes it is resetting the Mail Bar. But it seems the fix is temporary.

Hi,
What about this

@SilverGreen93 Resetting it to the default should restore it, but it shouldn't be temporary.
I'm wondering if perhaps there is an issue with the profile.

Hi,

https://forum.vivaldi.net/post/670359As I said, this works. If I reset the Mail bar, the search box and all buttons show up again. This I did 4 days ago, but now the toolbar disappeared again.
Repeating the same fix works again, but I wonder for how long... -

I just deleted and resetted my user profile last time, after installing Vivaldi 6.6 because of the Mail issue that I had with the Mail that kept sending erroneously.
I wouldn't want to do it againIssue was this one
https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/93290/failed-to-sent-message-notification-pops-up-every-time-i-open-vivaldi/3?_=1715002559304
which I didn't manage to fix so I resetted my profile. -
@edwardp
I think I just figured it out, but needs testing out more days to confirm:- Have the mail side-panel open
- Open a random mail folder (e.g. inbox)
- The search box is located above the mail list, as it should, and the buttons are on the right.
- Close the mail tab, but leave the mail side-panel opened.
- Close Vivaldi.
- Open Vivaldi again.
- Open any mail folder.
- Notice that the search box and buttons have now moved slightly to the right.
- Open other random folders and notice that the search box and buttons might move slightly more to the right.
- If you close the tab, close vivaldi and reopen and repeat the same steps, the whole toolbar moves randomly more to the right.
I think that in my case, this movement accumulated during these 4 days and the search box did not disappeared, but got moved out of the screen such that it was not visibile anymore.
Resetting the toolbar always brings back their position.
