Page Zoom - Too Slow (10 Seconds)
-
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

@stardust Using a really fast scroll, it definitely does not pick up all of the detents in scroll progress. You have to use a moderate scrolling speed. Using step by step scroll, it jumps right to the new value - meaning that I can use the wheel to scroll from 100% to 110% in no time, 100% to 150% in about a second or less, from 100% to 500% in 7 seconds or so, and from 20% to 500% in about ten seconds

Yeah, I guess I understand why scrolling works this way in Vivaldi and I really don't like it (looks like a bug for me). If I remember correctly zoom was exactly like in Chrome when Vivaldi was in alpha/beta stage.
-
@stardust True. Early on, it did not register individual steps in zoom like it does now.
-
@ayespy Try to zoom the page in Mozilla Firefox or Microsoft Edge from 100 percent to 200 percent via Ctrl + rolling the scrolling wheel. And then go back to Vivaldi and perform the same action. You cannot get other impression but that Vivaldi is painfully slow. Along with other performance issues and backlogs, it makes Vivaldi unusable for me.

@gwen-dragon Still not working here as the screen shots prove.
