V 6.9 Rename Tab | Disable/Hide?

[frustratedvivaldier]

How to disable the stupid new "rename tab" feature?

Once again, Vivaldi has received a new major update, and just like every time for as long as I've been using it, none of the very serious eyesore bugs and security issues have been addressed, but instead there's been another useless annoyance added:

Every other time I try to click a tab, it enters an "edit label" mode. I have no idea who would ever need or want this, but I can't find any way to disable it.

How to stop this from happening?

Hi, this was one of the most user voted feature requests.
One click does nothing, only double click.
I guess we get a setting to disable it, check the change logs if Vivaldi get the next update.

Cheers, mib

@frustratedvivaldier You can also add a CSS modification to disable tab renaming:

/* Disable Tab Renaming */
.tab-position .tab .title {
  pointer-events: none;
}

It's there since september 3 snapshot, so it's coming in 6.10 stable

Similar to the layout I proposed.

I seem to accidentally rename tabs often somehow. I am not double-clicking. PLEASE provide an opt-out. I want web page titles in the tabs, always!

@bobbish Have you tried the suggestions from nomadic and ian?

Maybe you are not double clicking but the mouse still might considering you do that:
check in mouse settings... there is an option for double click speed.

I've been using computers for over 40 years and created my first web site in 1994. I know about double-click speed.

I have a local html file of frequently-used links I use as a home page. It has a title that's shown in the tab. Sometimes, if I click on one of those links, the homepage title remains in the tab instead of the title of the page I'm now on. I have not clicked the tab at all.

Maybe I'll just go back to Firefox.

@bobbish said in V 6.9 Rename Tab | Disable/Hide?:

I have not clicked the tab at all.

Then what you're seeing has zero relation to tab renaming.

As already pointed out above, an option to ignore tab double-click will come in 6.10. This option will not help what you're seeing on your system.

I suggest you create a new topic to investigate the issue you're having.

Don't threaten. It is ridiculous.
