That was the very first thing that I suggested. I'm glad that you were able to get rid of your problem. Now, it would be nice of you guys if you'd report this extension to the Chrome Web Store for abuse. To do that, go to the extension's page in the Chrome Web Store and click on the "Report Abuse" link on the first page. Thank you.

@deliciousmelon You are welcome. Everyday we learn new info. I will tag your topic as resolved. Cheers

Well done. Cheers

@pafflick F4 works great...albeit have to hit it twice..thanks !!

@dude99 No problem. If the issue returns, try other things that I've mentioned. For now, your thread has been marked as resolved, but you can come back at any time if the problem appears again.

Dann setze ich mal den Thread auf "Resolved".

@pafflick said in Unread forum message highlight: @beemer I'm sorry, I've opened the page you've linked in MS Edge and I don't see any list items with bold text. Do I have to be logged in to see those unread messages? Oh dear! you are correct. Normally I'm logged in all the time when using Chrome browser and I had not yet logged in using Vivaldi. All is working now.

@gwen-dragon Gah! It's WIndscribe (VPN Extension) - it has an adblocker enabled by default that I hadn't noticed which interferes with pages even when you're not actually using the VPN agent. so, problem solved. Just for interest's sake, --no-sandbox is enabled because otherwise Vivaldi won't run on my Linux (Puppy Linux 'Tahrpup') - Puppy runs as default as root. [Anyone reading this who wants to lecture me about how "dangerous" it is to run as root, please bear in mind that I've been using *nix systems since 1985, and Puppy since 2006. I also run all my Windows boxes as with administrator privileges. I'm happy to take responsibility for my computers and what I do on them.]

Yep, thanks. Soved!

@troypulk Glad it's solved and thanks for the feedback. I will tag the topic as resolved. Cheers

@xyzzy You are totally right. Thank you very much. I realized that at some point I had disabled hardware acceleration to see if it would stop Vivaldi from forcing use of the discrete GPU on my laptop and I forgot about it. After I switched it back on the behavior works as expected.

@jjl I am glad to know your homepage is back. Cheers

@nekomajin You are welcome. Glad it works. I will tag the topic as resolved.

@exomancer said in Lost the ability to specify download location permanently: Should I put in a bug report or is this a known issue? No, you shouldn't. New options will be added to the Settings. Vivaldi is a work in progress. Glad you solved the issue. I will tag the post as resolved. Cheers

@exomancer It's not necessary. The Devs implement new choices in the UI.

Was quickly fixed :)

I was successful in sorting my saved bookmark's the way I'm used to when I use chrome..now I'm actually to the point of using vivaldi MORE than chrome !! David

@p1nkghost Ah, ok. Then the NVidia driver/GPU and current Vivaldi version was incompatible and blacklisted. The overriding often solves display issues, but such setting may have side-effects.
