Google maps zooming not working properly on Vivaldi - ok in Chrome

[4s34s0ns]

When I use the scroll wheel to zoom in Google Maps, in Vivaldo, the screen blanks then redraws. In satellite view with a lot of detail this is slow and annoying.

Doing the same thing in Chrome and in Firefox, works properly. The screen immediately zooms with no blanking.

Hi, I guess this is a GPU/driver/Vivaldi issue.
To test this disable the hardware acceleration in Settings > Webpages.
I can zoom without any lag on a stone age laptop on OpenSuse Linux, specs in my signature.

Cheers, mib

There isn't a button for that. I can download it to a file only.

Didn't help, just made it slower.

@4s34s0ns Hmm, video acceleration is ok.
Perhaps Youtube punishes you with you slow video streams because of ad/tracker-blocker.

[Pathduck]

Sounds like the kind of issue that could be solved by simply clearing cache+cookies. Possibly just by Ctrl+F5. Maybe even just a browser restart.

Please try the troubleshooting steps, including testing in a clean profile and disabling adblocking/extensions: https://help.vivaldi.com/desktop/troubleshoot/troubleshooting-issues/

@Pathduck

I deleted vivaldi's cache and tried restarting and ctrl-F5. How do I delete cookies for just the google maps site?

It isn't a slow video stream. When you zoom in google maps, the normal behaviour is that the web page enlarges the image at the current resolution (so it looks a bit fuzzy, then immediately redraws at the new resolution, improving the detail.

With Vivaldi, it blanks the screen instead of enlarging (but still showing the text place names etc), then loads the new higher res image.

@4s34s0ns Just follow the troubleshooting steps and do them all. Then come back and give the results.

  Thanks.

OK I have done all that I believe. It makes no difference unfortunately. I am a bit unsure about the "reset settings". Is there a global "factory default"?

That is checked by using Guest Profile in the testing you say you have done.

Doesn't help you, but I can say "it works for me"
