Unsolved Speed-Dial - blank thumbnails and not working bookmarks and folders
-
@npro Testing as many different operating systems as possible can help troubleshoot problems.
-
@Aaron we would have known about other OSes the moment I first mentioned it 1 month ago,
but no one else (outside Linux) confirmed it or wrote about such thing for a whole month in every Snapshot thread since then and in the general "Desktop" and that "other" OS forum

I just experienced the same issue. Suddenly, all thumbnails were black and nothing was clickable. After a few minutes, things started to come back slowly. but not all yet. It seemed to specifically affect grouped thumbnails in my case. Sometimes they go black again for a short time.

I just encountered a similar problem. Out of nowhere, all the thumbnail images turned black and became unresponsive.

Getting similar results in POP-OS as of 10-29-2023. I doubt this issue is hardware related based on the foregoing. I'm about to check Ubuntu to see if it is also affected but I strongly suspect that the OS platform is not the issue since it seems to be happening in several OS platforms. Vivaldi has always been so stable and this is a bit disappointing!

Right. I'm experiencing it too! And it happens very very often.

Same problem here. It doesn't play all the time, but it does play frequently. When the problem occurs, if I go back and click again, it usually works fine.

@waburden Confirmed in latest Ubuntu O/S. As a former SQA Specialist, I generally find interface issues like this the most aggravating, especially ones so heavily used.

This issue should never have slipped into Stable, considering it affects basically the Main Page everyone is looking at/working with, unfortunately it seems that Vivaldi based on Chromium 118 wasn't tested enough and/or some work trying to fix Bookmarks which could be responsible for this mess ( https://forum.vivaldi.net/post/681444) was not finished 100% . I think everyone got the impression that it was a pretty rushed/problematic release. This can be seen also from the changelog, too many fixes -of a rather short list- are related to Mail & Calendar and not to the browser itself, contrary to older releases. I think developing the iOS version took all of the resources this time hence this result.

@d_canard This solution works but i'm wondering if this provides a clue for the issue since tab expansion seems to be uncontrolled of late. What I mean by this is sometimes when I look up at the tabs there are about 3 times more than there should be, and i'm wondering what is generating these extra tabs????
-
Just an FYI.
The problem persists with yesterday's Mint update to kernel 5.4.0-166-generic.

I do not know. I am not a developer. I am just an end user, albeit one with some now distant techie background --Novell Netware, MS stuff (DOS through Win 7/Server 2011, CentOS in network appliances, enterprise security systems (Trend Micro in particular), wiring plants and hardware infrastructure, etc.
Few us here seem to experience exactly the same symptoms. What we have in common is the blank, nonfunctional tiles. I do not get extra tabs. And for me, the problem is not consistent. Sometimes things work, everything. Sometimes one folder will work but others won't. Sometimes nothing works.
The workarounds listed here which I will repeat--tile wiggling, a good one when there are only few tiles in a folder--and opening a new tab and then going back to the tab for the open folder--these are not reported as working for everyone--some here report that they do not work for them.
The other obvious workaround, something far less sexy than a functioning Speed Dial, is to use the bookmarks list in the conventional menu system.

same as this on iPad

The workarounds listed here ....
In my case it improves by pressing the left mouse button on the tile and releasing it not immediately......(try after two seconds)
-
Same problem here on Zorin Linux. Completely random issue. I noticed that switching to another tab, then returning brings back the missing thumbnails.
-
I happens to me too. Debian 12 and Void-Linux. Bith running XFCE4.
-
Have it regularly since 6.4. Ubuntu 22.04.3, different computers.
Also: Vivaldi keeps crashing when of two open windows (not just tabs) one is closed by clicking the close button.
-
Woaaah this happens all the time! It's so bloody annoying! : )
edit: and working with a Bookmarks bar is a pain in the ass. So so slow! Productivity went down the drain. : )
-
Got this across MX-21,MX23 and Mint cinnamon. 18 days from first report guys......

Hey Folks,
I've been noticing something strange over the past week or so.
I'm running the latest stable release of Vivaldi for Linux on Ubuntu LTS 22.04. When I go to my bookmarks on the Speed Dial, as I move the mouse toward a bookmark or bookmark folder, the bookmarks will all disappear and I have to refresh multiple times or go back and forth multiple times before they show again. Has anyone else been experiencing this?
Sorry if this doesn't make sense. I'm having a hard time explaining what is actually happening.
Thanks!
