Startup animations are buggy.

[pilis1]

Whenever I open Vivaldi for a few miliseconds you can notice (as I attached a recording) that the animation is a bit broken (at many times, a white window instead of black appears for a milisecond)

From the video attached, here is a GIF in slowmotion to better notice the bug:

Also, the angle in which the startup animation appears isn't a good one, look at Firefox or Chrome, the startup animation comes from the "center" of the screen instead of the left middle corner.

Here are also my PC specs:

@pilis1 Yes, i caonfirm it at first start on Windows 11.

Depend on GPU settings and speed of hardware.
For me the flash before splashscreen shows up approximately ¼ seconds visible.

@pilis1 Please report issue to Vivaldi bug tracker, include as much detail as possible.
Once that is done, share the bug number (beginning with VB-) you got by bug report mail.

And if interested read blog article, if you like to know about "A bug’s life at Vivaldi".

Thanks for helping us making Vivaldi better.

@DoctorG Hey, thanks for welcoming me ^^
It's good that I'm not alone having this problem.

@pilis1 I see this as a sligh flash on my slower Linux office PCs with older Intel GPUs, ans sometimes on my Windows 11 PCs with NVidia GT 710.

I do have some quite good hardware, though, it still happens :((
Here are my specs:

On my side, it looks even more weird when it's starting:

How many times a day do you open Vivaldi? Just one is enough.

If Vivaldi is your default browser, as I imagine it is, put a shortcut in the Windows startup folder, so that it opens automatically.

When you wake up, turn on the PC or laptop and go to prepare breakfast and problem solved.

That's not really a solution. Some of us open it multiple times daily, they don't browse all day round.

That is exactly the conceptual error.

The OS is called WindowS, that is, many simultaneous windows can be open and that does not mean that they use CPU.

Vivaldi idle:

Okay but in that case why the browser has an "X" button for closing it?

And even then many of us, including myself prefer to close the browser when we don't wanna browse the web anymore.

Again, your answer isn't helpful.
