Some people try and click through onboarding fast.

I just press Ctrl+W

Ruarí

@allanh: Yes you are correct. I see you logged this from the first snapshot it regressed but I must admit I overlooked it and it was duped to the wrong bug. However I can easily reproduce. I have asked someone to look at it now using bug number VB-107662.

Ruarí

@Pathduck Yes there are other ways to get through this indeed but this is the one people are more likely to try. Anyway, while the tracker blocker is great it is not something everyone wants (since it can break sites), thus our intention is not to enable it by default but leave it up to the user. However this results in what appears to be a default on. So that is not ideal.

@Ruarí I've never been a fan of the Welcome page. I understand the need to onboard new users, but why go fullscreen and block any (obvious) ways to exit except being forced through the steps.

It's like those ugly Windows installers that insist on going fullscreen and hiding the taskbar, leaving users wondering how to leave it. Most users don't know they can just press the Win key to get the start menu back.

Ruarí

@thot: Actually no I do see this now. At least in one of my builds. Ok I will talk to someone about it.

Ruarí

Actually this is easy to reproduce. Now I am not sure how I was not seeing it before. Admittadly I do use autoclose and/or floating on some of my installs but I was sure I tried this with clean settings. It is with clean settings (albeit configured mail, cal or feeds) that you see it.

Anyway, yes will chase someone now

I relogged this again as VB-108983 with updated/simplified instructions.

ps.: The problem is with Vivaldi browser, because other Chromium browsers, like Brave browser it is NOT happens.
I had time, so I investigated the issue. The last Vivaldi version, where the issue NOT occurs is the version Vivaldi.6.5.3206.38. The next version where the issue OCCURES first, the version Vivaldi.6.5.3222.3.
I hope this report here will help to resolve the issue!

pps.: I reported this issue...again. Maybe I make some mistakes, because I did not see this issue got addressed. I hope in Vivaldi version 7.0 it will be finally resolved.

Such is already built in Vivaldi Settings → Appearance
Why do you need the chrome://flags/#enable-force-dark do you need? What do you want to set?

Yes. I know that. But it should work beside the options in the Settings. That is also a problem if the user want to create 2 shortcuts. 1 without dark mode enabled and/or forced, for sites which are not supported it flawlessly or at all, the Vivaldi dark mode settings. And 1 shortcut with a switch for example like this "--enable-features=WebContentsForceDark:inversion_method/hsl_based/image_behavior/none/foreground_lightness_threshold/150/background_lightness_threshold/205" to enable "Enabled with simple HSL-based inversion" or using this "--enable-features=WebContentsForceDark:inversion_method/cielab_based/image_behavior/none/foreground_lightness_threshold/150/background_lightness_threshold/205" to use "Enabled with selective inversion of non-image elements" from that dropdown box at the mentioned chrome flag.
Thankfully there are several options to choose from, if a website appears wrong, when the Dark mode is enabled.

Ruarí

Ok, I added in stable stream (red icon) builds for those that want to upgrade early.

@cserpete I confirmed bug VB-108984

@Ruarí Thanks, I was waiting for those

Hi, in our company, several of us have been using Vivaldi's integrated mail client for years, to receive and send our professional mails.

Strangely enough, since Monday we've been unable to send mails. And when I check the SMTP server login details in the settings, the verification fails ("Login for smtp.online.net failed").

However, our mail provider has confirmed that nothing has changed on their side.

So I did a test with Outlook: these same SMTP login details are accepted without any problem, and I can send mails just fine.

Any idea what the problem is? I'm using snapshots, that's why I post here.

@Elgar82

IMAP server (incoming mail):
Hostname: imap.online.net
TCP port: 993
Connection type: SSL

SMTP server (outgoing mail)
Hostname: smtpauth.online.net
TCP port: 587 or 465
Connection type TLS

— https://www.scaleway.com/en/docs/dedibox-console/classic-hosting/how-to/configure-outlook/

Use complete mail address as username for login

Elgar82

@DoctorG Thank you, but I'm perfectly aware of this page. I tested with both smtp.online.net and smtpauth.online.net, with both ports, and it fails.

As I mentioned in my post, I opened a ticket with my mail provider and they confirmed that both smtp servers still work.

And I set up Outlook one hour ago with smtp.online.net, it works fine and I can send mails without any issue.

It's really a problem with my Vivaldi client that I can't figure out, especially since I didn't change anything recently. It just stopped working (for SMTP, IMAP works fine) out of the blue this Monday.

DoctorG

@Elgar82 Had you tried to enter the passwords new in Settings Mail → the Account → tab Server
Perhaps password database is broken.

Elgar82

@DoctorG Yes, that's how I understood why I couldn't send mails anymore.

I created a brand new test account, if you or devs want to test :
[email protected]
Password : VivaldiFTW!

You'll be able to see that login to SMTP fails in Vivaldi, while it works in Outlook.

DoctorG

@Elgar82 I checked with my internal version 6.9.345x.xx
Account works
