App-breaking issues after update

Hi, VAB-9519 is only 6 days old and was not even confirmed, now it is.
The dark mode toggle issue is on the radar of the developer, I guess this will be fixed faster.
You can always ask about the status of a bug report:

@maxdule how do you re-order speed dials on Android? I can only rename or remove a speed dial.

Also, this issue and the missing dark theme toggle are unfortunately still not addressed in versions 6.8.3388.111 and 6.8.3406.3 (Snapshot).

This is still broken on version 6.8.3388.111.
It no longer crashes at the start page being displayed, but now does so when opening Settings. There seems to be no way to revert to a clean "no background" option short of deleting all app data.

Hi, this is really a strange bug, I can choose only an image, all others reset to "no background" .
I guess I opened Settings 15 times today, no crash.
3388.94 worked fine for me.
No idea what that depends on, device, Android version?

@mib2berlin Very strange indeed. I am on Android 14 (Pixel 8 Pro - July Update).

If I use the "Customize Start Page" option in the Start Page itself, I can set a custom background just fine (though not any of the Vivaldi-provided ones), though the app will still crash when trying to access Settings. Clearing all app data (reverting to stock settings) does temporarily resolve the issue until a Start Page background is set, but that also means having to reconfigure all the Vivaldi settings again.

Hey @LordBlizzard sorry for the confusion - it's not reordering on Android specifically, but reordering in folders list as they seem to be displayed as is. So I place the "mobile" folder (speed dial group) above.

Ok, but where do you do this? In Vivaldi Android bookmark manager?

@maxdule
Hi, I can reproduce this, can you report this to the bug tracker, please?
I can confirm this internally.
Change speed dial order, update sync on desktop, update sync on mobile, open settings > crash.

For information on how to report a bug, see this URL: https://help.vivaldi.com/article/report-a-bug-in-vivaldi-android/
Once that is done, please share the bug number (beginning with VAB-). Thanks.

It works for me, I sort it on the desktop and the default speeddial on Android changed.
I'm so happy the headache is gone.Thanks!

Ah, this is maybe a old bug in combination of a new one.
I report this folder bug some time ago, it jump always to the speed dial even you are in a sub folder.
I will try to link them together and hope both gets fixed at some point + add the information about the folder issue to VAB-9519.

Dark Theme toggle is finally back! Thank you.

Now remembering last used speed dial and search issue remain.

LordBlizzard

Since the search issue was finally resolved, only remembering last used speed dial remains. I just updated to 6.8.3388.230 but it's not fixed yet. It's also not resolved in Snaphot 6.9.3446.3 (though I don't know if that's any indicator).

Is anyone able to look up the bug status? Is there a fix date?

Thank you.

After this is resolved I think I'll disable all updates...

@LordBlizzard
Hi, this one is still in progress, I hope we get this into the next stable.
It make Groups useless.
I add a comment to the bug tracker.

Vivaldi no longer remembers the last used speed dial. I got 2 speed dials - one for mobile browsers and one for desktop browsers. One the phone I would normally use the mobile one and occasionally swipe over to the desktop one if I needed, then swipe back to the mobile one. Now it always opens the desktop speed dial and every time I have to manually swipe over to the mobile one. It used to remember which one I used and kept showing that one till I switched. This behaviour needs to come back! Why was it removed?

I also have same problem on my Samsung, and this now so annoying that I am wondering to change away from Vivaldi, but if there is a fix just around the corner, I will not bother.

Any news about this? It there any hope this will get fixed?

@vholen1
Hi, the bug report is marked as "In Progress" from the developer.
I changed to Groups because sub folders does the same, pages slip back to the main window with < from a sub folder.
Waiting for a fix of both.

6.9.34xxxx

new tab is crashing Vivaldi
tab focused after closing active tab doesn't make sense to me - it's not the one recently viewed or opened
