Fix is in Progress.

11/09/2023 The problem seems to have gone away. I was asked to log into Vivaldi again this morning. Easy come, Easy Go?

[d_canard]

I updated Vivaldi this morning.

Vivaldi 6.4.3160.42 (Stable channel) stable (64-bit)
Revision 370be63394629a4227dfb9ba8115670c84517017
OS Linux

I am pleased to say that the situation is much improved. Mostly the folders in Speed Dial open to show functional tiles now.

However, I am sad to say that the problem is not entirely gone:

[nawigator]

6.4.3160.42 (Stable channel) stable (64 bits): After update, the issue remains.

That was what still worked well. "vivaldi-stable_6.2.3105.54-1_amd64"
Linux mint 21.2

[saudiqbal]

Still not fixed for me.

[josefley]

Thank you for this assurance.

It is the first such assurance in this now lengthy thread.

Perhaps naively thinking the best of people, I do think that, with a few exceptions, most people posting here are not being impatient but are rather trying to be helpful.

I would think that the more information collected about the environments the problem arises in, the easier it might be to narrow in on a fix.

Often with computers fixing a problem is not the difficult part. The difficult part is finding out what is causing the symptoms which are not the problem itself but rather those things which show that there is a problem.

@d_canard
Hi, I guess this is frustration about user not even read the last page of a thread.
I and some others have post 10 times the bug is reported but not fixed yet and the next post is: "It still not work for me", then it is a bit annoying.

Cheers, mib

I tries on my Linuxes running with NVidia GT 710 & Intel HD 630 and never got this. May be it is because they run in a VirtualBox VM? Strange.
Perhaps my test system hardware is too slow.

I suspect your issue is a timing problem with race condition while rendering the Speed Dial elements.

[josefley]

Apparently everyone reporting here has a different PC, a different version of Linux (Debian, Arch...) and obviously a different processor.
It is clear that the problem is with Vivaldi internally and not with a specific distro or processor.
Vivaldi also have similar happen on my Android phone for over 1 year. When I go into the quick access folders, it automatically "reloads" and automatically returns to the main screen with all the shortcuts disorganized into different folders. Then I go back, and when I come back in everything is fine.
It seems that Vivaldi has a serious problem with the main screen.

we should stop making assumptions and it's not a "your issue", but a vivaldi issue

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 105288416 29 set 17.10 vivaldi-snapshot_6.4.3149.7-1_amd64.deb

Developers should ask themselves why the latest version 6.3 works and the first 6.4 doesn't. How has the code changed?
It's been more than forty days now....

[DoctorG]

🫨 Sorry, i did not want to offend anyone by asking for distrie and DE.
I was only curious on which systems that happens.

Since Intake of Chromium 118 core in Vivaldi.

[Pathduck]

@DoctorG It's reproducible on Windows too, but apparently much harder than on Linux.

From the looks of it, this one is difficult for the devs to figure out, some native code changes in Chromium messing with Vivaldi's code.
See VB-100225 - I think it needs higher priority.

I thought that after 12 pages of numerous reports with all possible GPU+CPU+distro+kernel+mesa+OS configurations we passed that point of where it happens... it has been confirmed additionally for MS Windows, macOS, iOS, the only report we haven't seen yet is from someone using *BSD and Haiku...

so with that regard...

it's a VIVALDI issue!

Done.
