SOLVED Vivaldi crash when clicking the lock in address bar

@yngve said in SOLVED Vivaldi crash when clicking the lock in address bar:
@PauIinho Were you using a Synced account to some other device with Vivaldi? If so, which versions, and did you make any permission changes there (and which ones, if you recall)?
I was using a synced account on Android, but I've lost my phone last month and could not use sync since.
Even the lot of tabs that used to be in that cloud icon in the corner are gone and I forgot to save. -
Hey again !
It started to happen again.
This is the before reset global website permissions:
This is after:
From what I can see, Popups is changed from allow to block and cookies has changed from session only til allow.
Now it works again.

@EldARon Could be a system setting (if in a company network) or extension you have installed in Vivaldi or a security software which changes permissions.
You can check if your browser is managed.
Open
vivaldi://policy
and
vivaldi://management
Are there any?You can look for extensions in internal page
vivaldi://system and check section extensions
Which ones are there? -
-
@mib2berlin Ah, ok i missed that in the tracker.
-
@EldARon Interesting; I have tried with the session only cookie setting (as it is the only valid setting that could conceivably cause the crash), but have never been able to provoke a crash (and it is not actually displayed in the permission list in the dropdown dialog). Just tried with your two recorded changes, and still wasn't able to.
It might be of interest to know if you remember making any permission changes on your other synced installations. You might try to run them one at a time, and see which triggers the problem.

This is a kind of bug and already fixed in the tracker:
Wouldn't call it "fixed"; "worked around" is a more precise description.

Hi, I have same issue. Vivaldi crash when I click on Lock Icon. I have current version (6.9). What is the solution?
-
@prox This issue was fixed in a 6.10 Snapshot (Beta version).
You can install Vivaldi Snapshot (what is a Snapshot) as Standalone install version, that will not tangle your Vivaldi Stable Settings in case of issues in Snapshot.
-
@prox First, make sure you are really on the latest version of Vivaldi 6.9 (build 54), which have a patch for an issue related to this problem.
If you are, and still crashing, we have had another report indicating that the current fix wasn't enough, but we still lack information about what the crash is, and what is causing it.
So, if you would like to help we need the following information:
- Crashdumps reported to our bug tracker
- Information about what your Sync configuration is (other devices)
- Information about which Global and Site permissions (Settings->Privacy&security->Web site permissions) are changed, and how they have been changed (both what the current setting is, and how it got set to that value, on which device it was originally changed)
The fundamental reason for the problem (unless it is a different crasher), is that one or more Permissions have somehow (and we don't know how it happened) been set to an invalid value, and some code is coded by Chromium to crash in such a situation, rather than handle it safely.
Resetting Permissions to defaults do solve the problem (and would require you to add them back in), but I would encourage you to do this operation one setting at a time in order to discover which setting actually caused the problem.
One possibility that has been reported is that Sync will somehow reintroduce the problem, which indicates that the problem was originally introduced by another Synced installation.

@yngve
I have 6.9.3447.54 (Stable channel) (64-bit)- crashdump i will send later
- Yes, I have two android device with sync enabled
- Today i reset Global and Site permissions to default, and now there are no changes
-
@prox Which settings were changed?
-
@yngve
You mean on Website Permissions?
Now I'm not sure, but thing that on Global Permissions there was no changes
And on specific Sites there was changes on Geolocations, Automatic Downloads, Notifications -
@prox Which is IIRC different from what has been reported by others.
Do you remember if you changed such settings (and if so, which) on the Mobile devices? And BTW, are those installations 6.9 or a Snapshot versions?
-
@yngve
Now I'm using only stable versions. I had some beta/snapshot version but on v1 and v2.
and on Android is same. I have Stable version, but it is possible that i had some snapshot 1 or 2 years agoSorry, I do not remember if I change setting on Android. It is possible. If I say Yes, I changed Location or Notification on mobile device.

@prox We would very much like to get one or more crashdumps related to the crashes you have had so that we can figure out what happened.
