Bookmark sidebar is unresponsive
-
Whenever I click to open/close folder - nothing happens. I have to close/open the sidebar or click inside it to actually see the changes.
I have inspected the behavior using devtools (as far as I understand the whole Vivaldi UI is just a browser extension running on top of chromium).
For some reason the height of the sidebar is changed, but new items are not added unless there is an interaction (click inside) the sidebar or the sidebar is closed/opened.
Bug is floating and disappears for some time then occurs again.
I have recorded the video where the bug is seen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Faswb6IbqqQ

@fires3as0n Oh, i see that you have to click the triangle precisely und entend/collapse the Bookmakrs Panel.
-
@DoctorG yes and sometimes it works perfectly, expanding/collapsing the folder by a single click, but sometimes just nothing happens.
-
@fires3as0n That's why i use the cursor → and ← keys for the small triangle buttons.
Getting older
and targeting pixel-precise with mouse is not always my daily task 
-
@DoctorG using that buttons or double click still not help, I experience exactly the same behavior as on the video if I try that
-
@fires3as0n I never experienced such issue with many bookmarks.
How many bookmarks do you have? -
@fires3as0n Might be an issue of a lot of bookmarks + a lot of nested folders.
If you could share your bookmarks file it might help finding a way to reproduce it. If you're worried about sharing it's just a text file, so you could do a simple regex search and replace for instance.

@Pathduck Thanks for the reply, yes I have thousands of bookmarks and a lot of nested folders, I will prepare the file and upload it here
-
Any news on this?
I recently found out that expanding or closing bookmark folders in the sidebar does not work any more. Annoying.
-
it would be nice if the option: "Open Bookmark Panel Items with Single Click" was also expanding the folders with one click.
Double-clicking each bookmark folder is tiresome and the triangle too small to use it reliably.
-
@pku188 You can right click a bookmarks item and "Expand all folders".
-
@Pathduck sorry for the long reply - was busy with other things, I have obfuscated my bookmarks file and sharing the link to it.
It is indeed very large, but I use bookmarks for my job a lot - this is the reason why I've chosen Vivaldi for having the best bookmark sidebar interface among all the browsers. The only bad thing about it is this bug.
