Weird behavior of addressbar in Vivaldi 6.9?
-
I just noticed something weird, when I type snowflake in my addressbar, I somehow get a Domain Name result for snowflake.com, but I never bookmarked it. And even if I did, it should search for it on Google, based on my settings on the Drop-Down Menu Priority. So what's going on, is this a bug?
-
@RasheedHolland I do not see such on 6.9.3447.41 Win 11. I checked with a used and fresh profile.

There is something strange going on, I just had the same problem when typing seqrite in the addressbar, I get a Domain Result for seqrite.com, while I was trying to search for it on Google, but this shows up as second result in the addressbar.
So the question is how to disable this Domain Result stuff? To clarify, I did not bookmark seqrite.com but I did visit it earlier today, so it seems to be related to my history. I don't think I changed any settings, so I haven't got a clue how this problem started in the first place.

I already figured out that it's probably a bug. Because when I disable History in the Drop-Down Menu Priority, then I don't get this problem. So somehow Vivaldi suggests certain websites from History, but based on my settings (see pic) it shouldn't be doing this.
-
@RasheedHolland You have the browser History active to be compared to. I guess that Vivaldi derives result Domain Name from this history.
That is how it happens on my Vivaldi while having visitedseqrite.combefore.

Basically, Vivaldi should not be showing me results for Domain Name, it should always search for it on Google. Because showing me results from my history has got a lower priority with my settings. I haven't got a clue how to turn this off, so I assume it's a bug.

@RasheedHolland
Heureka!
See Settings → Address Bar → Address Autocomplete on Domain First should be deactivated to solve your issue.
I have never tested all settings in Vivaldi over months to know what a setting really does.

I never enable those settings, so seems to be a bug.
This is the bugreport: VB-109420
And BTW, can you move this topic to the requests section, TIA: https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/100782/tab-stacking-behavior-has-changed

Can anyone tell what the status of this bugreport is?
-
@RasheedHolland Unconfirmed.
I did not encounter such issue, had not tested the bug. So i can not tell if a update switche on the setting. -

I did not encounter such issue, had not tested the bug.Wait a minute, you confirmed this bug in this thread, so I'm not following you. Like I said, sometimes, Vivaldi will for no reason show me Domain Name results, for websites in my history. And this does not depend on my settings.
And I did not bookmark these websites, in other words, Vivaldi should get an option to turn off Domain Name results. So again, weird that this bug is unconfirmed, it's almost like Vivaldi developers don't take the time to test this stuff.

I did not encounter such issue, had not tested the bug.Actually, I just noticed something else. Vivaldi sometimes does not display certain visited websites in the addressbar dropdown. For example, I just visited IMDB, but if I type ''if'' it doesn't show me the website (for the movie IF), while it should show up under History in the addressbar, see link.

@RasheedHolland
IF:shows it. -

@RasheedHolland
IF:shows it.Weird, perhaps it depends on how many bookmark and history entries you have. Only if I type ''if 2024'' I get to see it in the addressbar.

I did not encounter such issue, had not tested the bug. So i can not tell if a update switche on the setting.Hello, any news on this bug? It still hasn't been fixed in Vivaldi 7.0.
So this means that let's say that I visit tesla.com, and then I search for ''tesla'' in the addressbar, it will show me the Domain Name Result as first entry, this shouldn't be happening, and there is no way to turn this annoying behavior off.

Yes, i see this on 7.0 and 7.1
I try to ask internally if this can be switched off.
If you do not hear a answer by me, please ping me here. -

If you do not hear a answer by me, please ping me here.The weird thing is that in the Address Bar (Drop-Down Menu Priority) settings, there isn't even a Domain Name Result option, so why does Vivaldi keep showing this, know what I mean? It doesn't make any sense, it's almost like they forgot to put this option in the Address Bar settings.
BTW, can you move this topic (see link) to the requests? I suppose Vivaldi developers are actively following these threads right?

No, developers rarely follow threads here.
If they need information bug reporters are contacted by mail. -

My previous answer on related to bug reports, not to feature requests!
I do not know the workflow with Feature Requests. I can not tell who checks regularly the Feature Request threads counts and tells the devs. Could be our community manager Jane.N.
Also, you haven't moved the thread, or aren't you a moderator?
I can not move anything, i am not Moderator.
