Combo box menu position bug

[leandrojmp]

Hello,

I'm using the last version of Vivaldi on Linux (Pop_OS 22.04/Wayland) and now all combo box menu options are showing up in the top left corner of the browser.

This is happening on every single page.

I'm sharing 2 screenshots as examples:

Is this a know issue?

Hi, It is a non-reproducible issue:

Wayland is not officially supported, many users report issues there.
I am on Opensuse KDE, X11, can check later on Wayland.

EDIT: Work on Wayland too.
Try to start Vivaldi in a terminal with: vivaldi --disable-gpu

Cheers, mib

Thanks, using --disable-gpu has no change.

I found this reported as a Chromium bug here: https://issues.chromium.org/issues/358041219?pli=1

Hope this is fixed in a next version, I couldn't find any workaround yet like the other bug I had with Wayland and Vivaldi regarding PiP video.

About the wayland support, it needs to come from Chromium or Vivaldi?

As Vivaldi use it's own UI not the Chromium UI I guess Vivaldi have to fix it.
I cant reproduce it using Wayland or X11 but Opensuse Tumbleweed use always the latest KDE version, 6.2 now.

I'm on Gnome, so it may be some thing related to GTK.

I will wait to see if this is solved in Chromium and unfortunately change to Firefox if this becomes too annoying.

Should I report this to Vivaldi as a bug or it will not even be looked into since Wayland is not supported?

Can not confirm issue with 6.9.3447.37 on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS / GNOME / Wayland.

Thanks, I'm on Pop OS 22.04 / Gnome / Wayland / Intel integrated GPU.

I will wait a couple of days to see if there is any movement on the Chromium issue, if not I will probably need to change to a newer distro like Ubuntu 24.04, this is the second usage breaking issue that I have with Vivaldi and Pop OS that there is no fix yet.
