@mib2berlin Sure thing, here we go:

OS Version
Edition Windows 10 Pro

Installed on ‎05/‎02/‎2024
OS build 19045.4894
Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.19060.1000.0

Vivaldi Version
6.9.3447.51 (Stable channel) (64-bit)

Links to two extensions that show the described behaviour:

I tested this on Vivaldi 6.10.3481.15 with Keep Awake extension and I still have to click on the invisible extension button to update it.

I added a comment to the bug report, this is maybe a different bug as it is not fixed in my internal test bug nor the snapshot.

@mib2berlin Thank you!

FYI, the behaviour I'm seeing is even slightly different from that. I'm adding this in case it helps.

The app has three statuses represented by a sun, a moon, and a sunset; clicking on the icon should cycle through the statuses, and change the look accordingly.

When I do that, the icon doesn't change (but the status does!) unless I switch to a different page/tab.

I'm happy to provide a video recording, if I can be guided on how to get it and attach it here

@Pathduck Okay, so this begs the next question if it's not a bug: is there a way I can restore all of my side panels and other settings (aside from bookmarks and extensions), so I don't have to restart from zero with lots of my customizations?

Pathduck

@mangelucci Why do you have to start from scratch?

It is a bug, it's been fixed.
Just wait for 6.10 to come out in a couple of weeks or around that.

@Pathduck Oh sorry, I interpreted your message in the wrong way, I thought you meant that with a fresh profile it'd work.

My bad, I'll wait for the new release

In this case this thread can be considered resolved; I don't think I have the ability to rename the thread - how would I go about marking this as closed, for others to know and take as reference?

No problem, I posted the 6.10 version number but I realize it wasn't clear.

Editing the title is good enough, just add "[SOLVED]"
You don't really need to mark it "solved" though.

Hi, checked the report again and other user could not reproduce in a clean profile, me either in 6.10.
Check the next change logs of an update of Vivaldi for VB-109023, sometimes fixes get backported to older versions.

Cheers, mib
