[FIXED] Tab previews popping up randomly when typing/marking text
-
@buesra24
Hi, if I follow your steps I don't get the tab preview.
I have to move the mouse cursor exactly over the social tab to open it, it gets highlighted.
First test is on Linux but I will do the same on Windows and will make a screen cast.Cheers, mib

@buesra24 said in Tab previews popping up randomly when typing/marking text:
which lead me to the Bing page on Vivaldi.
I stuck here because I get a different search result, I am located in Germany:

@mib2berlin It doesnt really matter which page you try it on, I get the same result on any page (and if that matters, Im also located in Germany). I just grabbed my laptop and tested it there as well just out of curiosity - same result. The laptop is synchronized with my computer though, so I dont know how helpful that is. Id ask if there are any settings that would be interesting to have listed here, but that shouldnt make a difference with a clean profile... I also just tested it with a guest profile just for completions sake, and its the same (although its very weird that the guest profile just categorically wont let me search anything in the address bar; I do exactly what Im doing in the other profiles but the second I hit enter on the same search query or click on search x on Bing, nothing happens except the recommendation drop down goes away, but the usual numbers at the right of the bar indicating loading dont appear for example; probably nothing to do with this issue but I thought Id still mention it bc its kinda weird).
Just to make sure we're on the same page, you are releasing the cursor above the search bar instead of on it, right?

Not that you should write an essay
But OK after parsing that slightly confusing chunk of text I am able to reproduce it also with tabs on top.
Video: https://0x0.st/XKYB.mp4I will update the bug report that it also happens with tabs on top.
No idea when it might be fixed, it's not a high priority. You really have to try hard to reproduce this and most users wouldn't encounter this often unless they did a lot of full-page text selection.For reference in case it appears in a changelog, this is:
VB-104719 Tab thumbnail appears as you select the text
Reported on 8 march. -
@Pathduck Oh, thats my bad, I can be a bit ramble-y sometimes
Either way, thank you a lot for your help!Im surprised more people dont encounter the issue, it happens to me like non-stop in every single google search. Idk if its just bc I unknowingly aim higher when marking text in the search bar than most other people or if others just dont mark text there all that often, but since I tend to research stuff by doing multiple runs with rephrased text, I cant really avoid it all that much sadly...

Tab previews/thumbnails are popping up and sticking randomly and frequently for me too. It's getting pretty annoying.
I notice it happening a lot when exiting full-screen videos on youtube or X etc. I also notice it here when dragging my mouse from the green line to the orange line to select the numbers in the field...
This results in a sticky tab preview popping up...
This happens frequently throughout the day. REALLY hope this bug is fixed soon.
Thanks

Work is in progress by dev to fix bug VB-104719 "Tab thumbnail appears as you select the text"
-
Awesome, thanks. Hope the fix applies to exiting full-screen videos too.
-
@DoctorG I believe it has been fixed now and Im eternally grateful
-
@buesra24 Update: It seems it was either only a temporary fix that was undone or I got oddly lucky for a bit there and didn't get any bugs on both my devices.... Either way, it doesn't seem to be fixed as of now.

This should be fixed in the latest Vivaldi 3405.3 snapshot (test version).
