Page Zoom - Too Slow (10 Seconds)
-
@hot_denim - I can't take the time to post a video right now - but I did as you asked and still can't get the old machine to lag.
-
zoom lags (3 seconds) on my two computers, both running Arch Linux and win 7 x64.

Zoom of pages or a single image is really slow in comparison with other browser like those from Microsoft or Firefox, no matter what hardware Vivaldi runs on. I have Intel HD on one computer and GTX 1060 on other and it sucks on both.
I made a "feature request" recently and it got erased from mods, so maybe it is part of natural improvements the browser will get. Meanwhile, you can set a keyboard shortcut to zoom the content by 2x ratio.

@andrewz1986 I've not seen slow zoom anywhere. However, you feature request would have been deleted because you are reporting a bug, not asking for a feature. Don't know who did that.

This one is still there:
@andrewz1986 said in Feature requests for Vivaldi 1.14:
Make zooming of web pages and stand-alone images smoother and more responsive.

@pesala Good find, thanks. I could not find it before. All of you are welcome to add your vote to the request.
@Ayespy I zoom via Ctrl + Plus or Minus or Ctrl + scroling wheel on mouse. When you you zoom in more steps (from like 100 percent to 170) in one draught, the slowness is really noticable. Sometimes it takes like a second to get to the final zoom stage. In IE or FF, it is almost instant. Input lag when the action is initiated is not that bad. While it is quite acceptaple here in the forum, it is almost shameful on site like https://www.idnes.cz/ – complexity of website is also a factor.
Pinch to zoom on touch screen is another story. IE and Edge are great, FF is incredibly slow and Vivaldi do not react to the gesture at all.

I feel your pain
Ctrl + Mouse Wheel zoom is very annoying in Vivaldi.Here is an old thread:
Unstaisfying zoom level with "Ctrl + Mouse Wheel" when scrolling fastFirefox
1 movement: zoom 100-150%
2 movement (after a few seconds): zoom 150-100%Vivaldi (exactly the same scrolling)
1 movement: zoom 100-110%
2 movement (after a few seconds): zoom 110-100% -
One year later... Follow the zoom slider at the bottom right corner. Sometimes it takes seconds to re-render the page after the zoom level is changed. To go from max to min zoom level, it takes 20 seconds. Core i5 4690k, GTX 1060 6GB, 20 GB RAM, W7 64bit

@andrewz1986 In Settings, Appearance, try "Use buttons for range control."
-
Hi, this seams to be a Windows only problem, zoom on Linux works without delay even on my old core2duo laptop.
Cheers, mib

@pesala Thanks for your suggestion, but this is just another way how to access slow rendering engine feature. What you see on video was arranged for the purpose of demonstration. In regular use, i do not even have status bar visible.
-
I tried latest final build of Vivaldi and I'm surprised that when I use slider on the status bar (hover it over with mouse cursor and scrolling the wheel on mouse) to perform the zoom, re-rendering process is pretty fast, almost on par with Firefox. Unfortunately, status bar area is too small, so it's pretty uncomfortable. Could we get the same speed when performing the zooming via Ctrl + rolling the scrolling wheel please?
-
@andrewz1986 It's instantaneous here. Wonder what's different about your setup?
-
@ayespy Zooming with the scroll wheel is rather jerky here. Using the slider is fine.
What happened to quick commands: "Page Zoom nnn" that was introduced in Vivaldi Stable 2.1?
It does not work in the latest snapshot.

-
@pesala I don't know. I don't use it. All I know is that if I use ctrl+scroll, the response is immediate.
-
@pesala Trying the QC, it is working here.
-
@ayespy You either remain with your cursor on the slider or don't know what instantaneous is. I have two setups and both are slow as hell. If you were right, this thread would not exist.
-
@ayespy Not working here.

@andrewz1986 "Instantaneous" could be technically an exaggeration. By the time I can release the scroll wheel, the page has zoomed. (exception is my 11-year-old laptop which can delay by .1 (one tenth) of a second)
I have my cursor in the middle of my screen.
I have six setups, and none are slow.
I may be "wrong" about your setups, but I am not wrong about mine.
Also, QC works on all of them to zoom by entering f2, "page zoom xxx."
So, evidently, there is some hardware, driver, OS or 3P software factor unaccounted for here.

Just tested it on Vivaldi 2.2.1373.4.
Same here! Looks like the "normal" zoom (i.e. zoom like in other browsers) is only available when using slider andhover it over with mouse cursor and scrolling the wheel on mouse
On the gif below I zoomed from 20-500% using the "fast zoom technique" and from 500% to 20% using Ctrl + rolling the scrolling wheel (very, very slow).
This is an old zoom problem
