Changes to Mail View Filters – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 3096.3

[rseiler]

Does anyone know if this intriguing feature is a Chrome-only thing or whether there are underpinnings in Chromium 116 which can eventually be utilized by others?

seriously, who thought it was a good idea? Look for example on a non-fullscreen twitch page what it does

Panels on the left

Panels on the right

Remove this thing NOW. God, it's infuriating.

Some good fixes here, and nice to see some love for keyboard accessibility

[Keyboard] Cycling focus stuck when tab bar is hidden (VB-95976)

Doesn't really seem fixed to me? Hiding the Tab Bar still blocks F6/Shift+F6 from going the full round.

[Keyboard] Focus Panel Controls has stopped working (VB-93688)

I always appreciate Kb accessibility fixes, however note:

• Does not work from panels, which seems to miss the point?
• Tab should move focus to the next "UI Pane", i.e. the Panel itself. We already have the ArrowUp/Down for selecting panels after bar is focused.

[Spatnav] Box is moved on scroll (VB-89443)

I all fixes for Vivaldi's killer feature - but it's still not working that well, is it...

(DPI scaling an issue here here?)

Also, I've had a couple tab crashes on this forum testing SpatNav, not sure where those are coming from.

[Address bar] Emojis as favicons appear blank (VB-81544)

Now we can finally see those fancy SVG favicons

I guess floating panels now really float - isn't that the point? I keed, I keed

Fixes for one bug breaks something else, it happens, and this is what we test Snapshots for.

I'm sure there's some CSS workarounds some of the master modders can cook up in no-time for this.

Still have html mail rendering problems for a specific sender that started a couple of builds ago. It makes those emails unusable.

Guess it would be related to one or both of these:
[Mail] Ignore whitespace-only subparts of multipart messages (VB-98336)
[Mail] Detect leading “<html” root signature in text/plain as text/html (VB-98336)

Worked fine before the update. Still renders fine in gmail directly but not in vivaldi

A small sample of what I see:

Still see this in the new snapshot:

@Durtro said in Geolocation for MacOS and Customizable Address Field Suggestions – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 3070.3:

Anyone seeing some html emails rendered as text? In my case and for one specific sender, all previously html rendered emails are now rendered as text. This is in a windows installation. Didn't check it yet on my linux installation.

@ian-coog: Try going into the theme editor, under settings there is slider for panel transparency. Move the slider up, and then down again to 0% transparency. For me this makes the panel non-transparent again.

Spatnav is broken, can not select f.ex. a heading in my blog which spans over more than one line if zoomed the page.

Reported as VB-99170 "[Spatnav] Elements can not be focused with zoomed page"

The issue isn't the transparency, it's that the switch is always overlapping the web page now.

Well this is not good.

It seems I can no longer hide both the side panel toggle strip and hide the side panel tool bar.

I have always hidden all that stuff (and only acccessed floating panels via mouse gesture, after which the floating side panels (as well as the side panel tool bar) automatically hide again when inactive.

With this latest snapshot it seems you can hide one or the other. Not both.

I admit I preferred panels the way they were... A second click on the Panels icon operated as the Panel Toggle, which made sense to me. (Floating the Panels Bar alone seems useless or just distracting...) But checking the Toggle option is Good Enough for now.
Of course, floating panels with transparency is a personal choice, a preference — so to speak.

@durtro:
Do you have an email that you can attach to a bug so that I can try to reproduce?
Save the email with ctrl+s (or cmd+s on Mac). Open in a text editor and change any email or redact sensitive info if you'd like and attach it to https://vivaldi.com/bugreport/

Overlapping of vertical tabs with panel icons.

Impossible to make the vertical tabs wider in space. With floating panels, without floating panels its ok. F4-Toggle makes it overlap.

[Durtro]

@gmg added the eml to an already existing bug: VB-83204 by replying to it. Didn't edit it since the most sensitive info would be my email.

That bug report dates from this thread:
https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/63674/mail-not-showing-body-text?page=1

and is also related to email rendering. That thread refers a few problems I've seen with email, namely, missing attachments, duplication of sender address (since around September 2022)...

P.S. I tested the eml by importing it to both my stable and my snapshot using a local account and it renders fine in stable but not in the snapshot as expected.

What's with the bookmark favicons in bookmark panel with this snapshot?

I'm watching as Vivaldi slowly populates favicons for bookmarks. And for many it just now shows an "empty sheet" icon. And those "empty sheet" icons are refreshed/trying to load again when e.g. scrolling the bookmarks panel up & down (or opening & closing folders with bookmarks).

I already noticed that it seems that at least bookmarks with ? char in the URL seems to always show the "empty sheet" icon (+ the refresh/reload action).

Just horrible. I hope this change never finds its way to stable.

[Pathduck]

@Tealing We test Snapshots to find bugs and report them, exactly so they don't make it into Stable. We don't moan and complain when stuff breaks - if you want stability use Stable.

I can confirm that bookmarks with a ? in the url have broken favicons in this snapshot. I cannot confirm with other bookmarks.

Please read:

• Help us reproduce your issue
• How to report a bug for Vivaldi

carefully and report the bug to Vivaldi bugtracker

It also blocks icons in vertical tabs if you have the panel and tabs on the same side

Left side blocks fav icon/audio icon (so you can't mute tabs now)

Right side blocks closing of tabs

Bug on Youtube (or twitch) in fullscreen, found by error by fatfingering wrong key

• go to youtube/twitch

[HalleAndert]

When you switch tabs, the current website moves from right to left for a few pixels.
