@lionb I renamed the thread title for clarity and moved it, as it's not about tabs. I could not find any other application that behaves in this way. I think it might lead to users accidentally restoring or moving the window when they are trying to use the menu.

@mib2berlin I'm guessing whatever was in 2.0.1309.37 (Stable channel) (64-bit) fixed the problem. Vivaldi now maximizes upon the first start. Nice to be rid of this minor nuisance.

@trendready I have a primary portrait monitor and a secondary landscape monitor. When I drag a window from one monitor to the other it is automatically restored down. I then double-click the Window title bar to maximise the window on the other monitor. That is the behaviour I would expect.

See also Independent UI Zoom per Windows and Make Resizing of Vertical Tab Bar Independent for each Window I see that you requested this feature three years ago. I guess it is rather hard to do. Some users open lots of windows. I wonder if there could be an Automatic position setting that would position the tab bar to suit the current window's aspect ratio? I also use a dual monitor setup with 1200x1600 Portrait as my primary monitor and 1920x1080 Landscape as my secondary monitor.

I added a link to this suggestion that could be related or also this one. Unanchored panel would be called/showed from context menu call or a more developped solution for me like a selection bubble like this : Panel may have added dynamic search capability commanded from word selection...

I think that even adding a simple background-position and background-size with custom parameters would be enough in many cases.

Other Windows are not shown at all in the Window menu, nor in the Window Panel. If they were, they should probably be shown as folders, with tabs in subfolders.

You could do this with a mod. Something like .minimal-ui #header{ display: none; } Though then, like @Pesala mentioned you would have no way to drag a window. You could play with setting an appropriate height and min-height values to get a very small transparent bar which would still afford you space to drag.

wow, I Am amazed about your effort and care that you put into this and how community is getting really great support. Just wow.

Hopefully when/if the window panel gets full support for all windows, this won't be a missing ability.

After thinking about it for a while, a pop-out isn't too bad it's handled as a normal window by the OS. That would still allow it to be set in place with desktop grid which will be quick enough. If it's the only option.

Such option is really needed by me too, to get a border around the window. It is easier to distiguish where one Vivaldi Window ends and the other begins.

Even some extensions do that (if they use popups) I always want see back/forward and extension container

If I'm remembering correctly, some Linux desktops should have built in support to do this. Windows 10 lets you pin a window across virtual desktops but inexplicably doesn't let you pin them on top of other windows. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

IMO a command that can be assigned to a shortcut or mouse gesture would be more efficient than moving the mouse up to a button at the top of the panels. Collapse/Expand Bookmark Tree with Flipback/Flipforward Remove the Expand/Collapse Folder Triangles would make it much easier to collapse single folders, so one would not often get into the state of needing to collapse all folders. The current context menu items are even less accessible than a button on the toolbar would be.

This only started happening to me since 1.14.1077.45 Updated to 1.14.1077.50 today to see if it's fixed, but it is not. I am on linux, however. Should I report this separately, or has it been done by some linux users already? It would really help to have a user-searchable bug tracker instead of a bug submit form...

The Opera 50 method of simply dragging and dropping the tab onto the current page is the right way to do this. While you're waiting, just assign a shortcut such as Shift+F11 to "Detach Tab." Alternatively, assign a mouse gesture. I recommend one that is not too easy to do accidentally, e.g. GestureDown, GestureRight, GestureUp.
