Solved Toolbars not hiding while scrolling
-
@mib2berlin Thanks for the suggestions
My previous experience with sync wasn't good. Especially with Bookmarks. Also I've got local html files on my SD card and in Vivaldi's memory space that are hard to put there. Had to use adp tool to set permissions so Vivaldi could access the SD card. Just isn't worth the hassle of trying to put all that back in place to get this working. Easier to just live with it

@mib2berlin Well, I use Vivaldi Stable. I wiped all data, uninstalled, installed again and the issue persists. Out of curiosity I also installed Vivaldi Snapshot and had the same problem with the toolbars not hiding while scrolling.
Interestingly, I remember installing Vivaldi on my smartphone last year and I noticed that the toolbars didn't hide when scrolling. As at the time, I had only installed Vivaldi out of curiosity, with no intention of migrating and that's why I didn't report it on the forum. In fact, I even thought it was that way by design.
So for me, it doesn't seem to be a issue that came up recently or that it was fixed and then, for some reason, came back.

I spoke to QA and they said they've seen reports about the issue, but have never been able to reproduce it and it's near impossible to fix a bug that you can't consistently reproduce yourself.
I suggest that everyone who encounters the issue reports it on https://vivaldi.com/bugreport/. Preferably do it on the device the issue occurs on, that way the report can attach your device's info automatically. Perhaps QA notices something in common between these reports that helps to get to the root of the issue. -
I managed to fix the problem.
Searching the forum, I found an older post reporting the same issue and one of the comments mentioned a possible incompatibility of Vivaldi with smartphone accessibility tools, which could be causing this.
My smartphone is a Moto G8 Power. I went into settings -> accessibility and only one tool was on, which was relative to slide to split screen. I turned it off, checked that the other accessibility tools were turned off and to my surprise, the toolbars are now hiding when scrolling. Using Vivaldi Stable.

@edu2703 NICE find
I have two Motorola Ace 5g phones with the same feature that was enabled. Disabled it and now at least the one I tried it on hides bars on scroll. There is another option I use in that Menu which is still on called "Accessibility Menu" which doesn't seem to bother it. Not surprised that the "Swipe to split" causes woe. Description reads:"Swipe to split helps you quickly enter split screen mode. This permission commands the system to enter split screen mode when you slide your finger back and forth on the screen. When this service is turned off. Swipe to split will also turn off."
I'd forgot how to use this anyway and if split screen doesn't work anymore no big deal. Only recently tried it for testing this problem of all things and that wasn't how I accessed it anyway...
Thank you! For posting this solution

@lfisk Just tried "Split-screen" the Android way using the recent/running apps screen (or whatever they call it) and it still works fine. So it seems to be just the "Swipe to split" method of starting it that is disabled...

how are u

@edu2703 Nice find indeed and thanks for sharing.

Thanks @edu2703 for finding the cause of the problem.
For me, the problem of the "Show toolbars while scrolling" function not working is caused by the accessibility service called "AnyDesk Control Service AD1", which is a plugin used by the AnyDesk app. I don't want to turn it off.
The question is, is it a problem with Vivaldi, with this service/app or is there something wrong with Android? -
I'm having the same problem with Motorola Edge 30. For me the accessibility service "KDE Connect" causes toolbars to stay visible while scrolling despite setting them off. Would be awesome to see this fixed since I really don't want to disable KDE Connect.

@Pekster
Hi, I use KDE Connect too but I have no idea what I do with accessibility ON for it.
It's a bit of topic but could you explain for what you use it?
KDE Connect does all I need without this setting enabled.Cheers, mib
-
@mib3berlin Actually you're right. KDE Connect seems to work fine even after disabling the service.
-
@Pekster
Ah, can you disable other accessibility app's to test the scrolling issue, please? -
Since the update today (ver. 6.4.3171.91), this seems to have returned. I confirmed that the setting to 'show toolbars while scrolling' is disabled. It's far more noticeable since the theme changes too.
Edit: I should point out that I don't use any accessibility features.

Hi, it's me again :D. I've bought a new phone in the meantime, a Samsung Galaxy A54 5G. In the beginning, when it was brand new, it hid toolbars while scrolling, but now, after the second-to-last OS update, it started to not hide them again. I honestly have no clue what to do about this, I've tried everything possible on this planet and it's driving me crazy. I just want my toolbars to hide :/. I hope this will still get the attention even if the entry is marked as "solved".

@xtra0 Hi. I'm trying to bump this topic. Is there something that could be done about this issue?
-
@xtra0 This is the area in Accessibility settings I had that caused them not to hide. Had to disable "Swipe to Split". It's an app that Motorola supplied with the phone. Probably won't help but thought it was worth pointing out
-
I have the same issue. I fixed it by disabling accessibility access for all the other applications. But why that's a problem at all? Maybe this functionality should be redone somehow? Because auto hiding works well in other applications.
Vivaldi 7.1.3580.154 Android 14; Pixel 6a Build/AP2A.240905.003.F1

@Elnee
Hi, I can enable or disable accessibility and get hide with scroll always.
We had a bug fix lately for fast scrolling does not hide, maybe this help in other cases.Cheers, mib
