Find in page function broken after the 7.1 update

[lamchcl]

I wasn't experiencing this issue before, but after updating to 7.1.3570.50 I've been getting consistent hangs when using Find in Page on PDFs and other websites like Github. Seems to be a regression from 7.1.3570.48.

I haven't been able to reproduce from a clean profile but it happens consistently on my profile, and happens even with all extensions disabled and in incognito. I've attached a minidump to VB-114258.

I updated to 7.1.3570.54 (macOS), it still freezes and I have to force quit.
It does not get as frequent as before though, only 2-3 times per day of multiple hours of usage

My browser freezes every time I try to search for "esd" in https://www.analog.com/media/en/technical-documentation/data-sheets/36461fc.pdf

The first two letters of the word do the trick.

7.1.3570.39 (Stable channel) (64-bit)

I cannot reproduce freezing using above method anymore (the older version it works like 50-50)

This is a Windows thread and Vivaldi on different OS does not act the same.
For MacOS issues please ask at https://forum.vivaldi.net/category/34/vivaldi-for-macos

I've experienced similar issue, that my vivaldi browser crash every time I try to search in a PDF, which is quite crucial for me to be able to do!

However, it seems to have been solved when I turned off the "Use Hardware Acceleration When Available" setting

Update: it's still crashing, but not all the time...
Best solution I've found is to use the chrome extension "PDF Reader"

Still happening even in the latest release. it seems to crash on the last find text.
