@Bononi-Gustavo
Hi, the whole thread is about this issue.
I have enabled Start Page Navigation on Internal pages.
If you jump to Bookmarks and back to the Speed Dial page the icons are back.
Two click and you are back on business.I hadn't seen the original thread, I created a new one and they put it together with this one.
The error is annoying, for now I am continuing with the old version until it is solved -
I have read, not all the posts, but have seen posts stating it only seems to happen on Linux systems and none that I have found stating it happens on Windows based systems. I am here to say that it happens on Windows 10, being installed directly on hardware and also on Windows client VM's. Screen shots of both a Ubuntu 22 and Windows 10 systems are below. These are both base systems and not VM's. I use many systems and all have this problem and all started at the same time. I am questioning something incorrect or corrupt with the syncing of a users data, but have not found anything to confirm this. I can only confirm it happens on Windows, but may not where users use strictly Windows based systems. This is the reason I am suggesting the users data is being corrupt from a Linux system, which does carry over to Windows.

I do like the speed dials system. Wishing you all the best for the future.

I think I figured out how to fix the error. At least since I ate this, the little pictures don't disappear from the speed dial.
Open the bookmark editor on the main page. Not in the sidebar.
Then you can see all your bookmarks and speed dials.
If you click on a web address here, you should see the small image on the right. If it is not there, click on the + sign to find an image from the hard drive. If synchronization is also turned on, it will also be uploaded to the cloud. I previously generated webp images and collected them in a folder. I selected the pictures I liked from there. Webp images are smaller in size and support transparency. -
@csablak You're joking! Right? I have 1000+ bookmarks!

Hi, I wrote this here but nobody can up read the whole thread.
I have navigation enabled on the start page, one click on Bookmarks and back to Speed Dial and the thumbnails appear. -
Don't you find it annoying?
I get the impression that they hope it will fix itself by updating chromium -
@ilprof
Yes it is annoying, for me it work always at the second click.
For some tester and developer it never happen, that's the problem when you want to fix this kind of bugs.
It happen also with the next Chromium 120 snapshot, this does not fix it. -
@mib3berlin Yes, I know, I keep using it. Thank you!
-
Hmm.. I was wondering what's the progress (and if there is any progress) on fixing this. @DoctorG you mentioned the bug code is VB-100225 but how do I, how can I see what progress is being made to fix it? Can I find more info on Github maybe? How? Where? Can you please share?
Thank you!

@bogdanjelescu The bug tracking system is closed - not available to the public.
But you can inquire after status here: https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/27450/what-is-the-status-of-vb-already-reported-bug-issue and a Vivaldi tester (called a Soprano) can look it up for you. Most mods are testers, and many testers are also mods.

@Ayespy Ok.. Curious though: If the bug system is a closed then how do users report bugs!?

Thank you @DoctorG ! : )

12/08/2023 Problem only happened a few (8 or so) times since this morning.

Gee guys! It's almost 2 months since this issue was reported for a wide variety of Users and it appears to be pretty obvious that an update precipitated the issue. As a former software developer, interface issues are the most annoying of all. Having to continually drag my speed-dial icons around when they blank out is aggravating for a browser that purports to be mainstream. The further we get from the version that created the problem, the more complex the fix. Time to get er done!
-
I agree! We also don't know exactly what is happening, are they still working on it, are they making any progress or are they simply ignoring it and working on other things!?

@DoctorG said in What is the status of VB (=already reported bug/issue)?:VB-100225
Dev assigned, fix in progress and internally tested.

Beautiful! Thank you @ilprof ! Thank you!

blank thumnails here with Debian/Trixie/Sid, folders and bookmarks ok.
And, when there are blank thumnails, most of the time I go back ... and then forth again ... and the thumbnails will stay. (When there are no thumbnails, they have been visible there before for a fraction of a second!)
