Taps not registered properly when tab stacks are enabled

homeshockidea

I am on Android 15, GrapheneOS build number: 2024120400, on a Pixel 7a.

When I have tab stacking in use, in order to press on a link (for instance), I need to tap a little under the link to make up for the space that the second tab row takes up so that the tab can register on the link.

If I tap directly on the link, it doesn't register. I need to tap under it register the tap.

I tested, but could not reproduce the issue.

Is this consistent on all websites? Also, what if you toggle some settings (disable the Tab Bar, move the Tab and Address Bars to the bottom), browse a little and then go back to your preferred configuration. Do you still encounter the bug or has "shaking" things around helped?

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly!

I was afraid of that haha.

Unfortunately, it's not consistent, which makes it hard to pin down. AND, even sites that do do it, don't always do it.

If I find any example today, I'll send you the URL so you can maybe see what I see.

Also, what if you toggle some settings (disable the Tab Bar, move the Tab and Address Bars to the bottom), browse a little and then go back to your preferred configuration.

Disabling the tab stacking makes it go away entirely, I believe, but the tab stacking is one of my main reasons for using Vivaldi, so its definitely cumbersome to have to switch back and forth. Although, I completely see where you're coming from.

What tends to help is switching back and forth into landscape and portrait mode, as some pages don't render properly under the second row of tabs, unless I do that.

I do experience it, still off and on... I'll have to take better notes of what the offending sites are and get back to you... I appreciate it!

Thanks for the information.
Looking forward to example link.

One more thing I remembered. What if you enable "Show toolbars while scrolling" in Settings > Appearance & Theme? What kind of impact, if any, does that have?

I actually already enabled it... I have experienced the issue before with it enabled.

Thanks!
