Crash on Settings Search

Fedora 40

When I click on SETTINGS and type even one letter into the search bar to find a setting, the Vivaldi browser crashes.

Amazing browser! Love the customizations. Switching from FireFox.

Hello,

Here are some steps you can try to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the problem with Vivaldi:

Update Vivaldi: Ensure you're using the latest version of Vivaldi. Sometimes bugs are fixed in newer releases.

Clear Cache and Cookies: Corrupted cache or cookies might cause crashes. Go to Vivaldi Menu > Tools > Clear browsing data and clear cache and cookies.

Disable Extensions: Sometimes extensions can interfere with browser functionality. Disable all extensions and see if the problem persists. If the issue is resolved, re-enable extensions one by one to identify the problematic one.

Check for Conflicts: Ensure that other software or settings on your computer aren’t causing conflicts with Vivaldi. This includes antivirus software, firewall settings, or other security tools.

Reset Vivaldi Settings: Resetting to default settings might resolve the issue. Go to Settings > General > Reset Settings.

Reinstall Vivaldi: If none of the above solutions work, try uninstalling and then reinstalling Vivaldi. Make sure to back up any important data or settings before doing this.

@mdpalow I get the exact same thing, also on Fedora 40, in Gnome+Wayland, using the Flatpak from Flathub.

@bkhl Please report issue to Vivaldi bug tracker.
Once that is done, share the bug number (beginning with VB-) you got by bug report mail.
Thanks for helping us making Vivaldi better.

It would be great if you could send the dev team crash dumps so that they can understand what is triggering the crashes.
