Filter creation problems still present
-
So new work machine, new vivaldi stable install with e-mail configuration. Added the account without a problem (it is a gmail based corporate/business account).
Tried to create a filter (actually a recreation of a filter used in my previous work snapshot installation) and got blocked on non sane behavior. I'm only trying to filter by two fields, from and subject. I enter the from field without a problem and start to fill the subject also without a problem until I reach a given number of chars. In pictures:
And I know for a fact that the 'a' is there in the subject:
Really can't understand it. As I said it is a brand new vivaldi install with just one account added today.
The same happens with other subject entries:
Using the subject entry in the global search box even with only headers selected works.
I then tried to create the filter via the mail settings and got more anomalous behavior with something like this bring generated:
AND subject:Sync AND AND subject:Changes
I ended up creating the filter search string manually and it is working.
I'm not a new user of vivaldi mail client. I've used it since the beginning and not that it matters but I've used opera's mail client before. Still I felt a bit frustrated with the filter creation process and in fact I think it worked better before when I created filters in previous installations. Don't know what a new user will think of it but it does not give a good image from the client.

A new user is likely to struggle with this issue as the cause of malfunction is not immediately obvious.
Let us hope it is fixed soon.

Latest stable and the problems remain.
Searching gives incoherent results:
Also filter creation in settings does strange things:
result:
or enclosing the search value in quotes:
It doesn't make sense...

⋮In this case having the foreknowledge that at least three contiguous characters are required for a search term explains your observations. When searching for :
- Sync Ch, only Sync is searched for as Ch is less than the required three characters to form a search term
- Sync Cha, fails to find any message because the AND AND issue has not been addressed yet AFAICS

Sorry, I cannot replicate this; still seeing AND AND when selecting Add to Search

Sync Cha, fails to find any message because the AND AND issue has not been addressed yet AFAICSIt is a possible interpretation but the "global" search works with all the choices next to it (headers and body, only the headers or only the body). The detailed/extended search is the one failing and that should be only a "specialization" of the search. Anyway it fails and it shouldn't and in my opinion it looks bad since vivaldi mail client moto is exactly database and searches/filters instead of folders.
