It may was an extension.

Hello. Thank you for helping me solve my problem yesterday.
After a while, the problem here started to occur again.I did not add any extention, and after using it for a while with some tabs open, it started to occur again.
I opened aws, youtube, chat-gpt, etc. and was doing normal web operations.
Also, I was using it with everything erased except history, reading list, bookmarks, and notes.I have no cause in mind, but this was a quick sharing.

It seems weird,
Do this happen with?- Touchpad
- Mouse
- Both
-- - Even after V restart
- Cold Start
- Restarting machine
-
We continued our observations and experiments for a while and found the following
(In all cases, no extensions were installed.)- Devise (Touchpad = Apple Magic Trackpad2)
- Mouse click (occur)
- Touchpad push-click (occur)
- Touchpad tap-click (doesn't occur)
- Vivaldi window size
- Full screen mode (occur)
- Small window (doesn't occur)
- Restart
- After restart Vivaldi (occur)
- After restart machine (occur)
- After cold start machine (occur)
- (Not occur for the first several hours to several days in all restart case)
If I delete
~/Library/Application Support/Vivaldi/, uninstall Vivaldi, and reinstall it, the problem does not occur at first.
However, after 2~3 days of continued use, that problem starts to occur.
(I have changed the search engine to Google every time, and have set the search field to display as a button, so it is possible that some setting is involved in the problem, but I have not been able to test it.)The following report is very similar to the problem I am facing

I feel that the customization around the address bar is involved in this problem.
So next time I will try to use Vivaldi without any customization of the address bar to verify the condition of the problem.

Hi @yamamoto7 and @Zalex108,
I faced the same problem, and I’m finding it super annoying. Here is a list of similar issues I found on the forum:
- Tabs drag & drop is broken on Mac full-screen
- Click and drag broken, makes browser unusable
- Issue with switching tabs
- WTF is happening with my tabs? - recording is not available anymore, but it was the same issue. And it made user switch to another browser, which I am constantly thinking about too
- Weird clicking behavior on tabs
- Tab click opens new window on Mac
- Last tab not getting closed, And tabs getting replaced
I also created a bug report with ID VB-107772, but unfortunately, it received an “Unconfirmed, Unable to reproduce” status.
What I am sure of is that to reproduce the issue, Vivaldi needs to be opened in full-screen mode on a SEPARATE monitor. I can’t reproduce it on a default MacBook screen.

I've been putting up with this off an on for ages.
I haven't been able to determine what causes it to happen or stop happening - but I can confirm I'm another user with the problem.
Edit:
come to think of it, I haven't had this problem since having my tabs on the right hand side. Can't say whether that's a cause-effect thing, it just happens to be true.

I am suffering from the exact same issue.
MacOS 14.4.1
Vivaldi 6.9.3447.55 (Stable channel) (arm64)
Internal trackpad & external magic trackpad
Only Zotero extension installedThe issue comes and goes. Sometimes, only a click is recognized as hold. Sometimes it's a tap as well. It's quite annoying, so much so that Vivaldi feels borderline unusable even with all its beautiful features.

I think the exact same problem here.
After restart, update Vivaldi, restart Mac, nothing changes.
Happens only in full screen.
Tab on top goes down to the bottom when clicked.macos 14.7.1
