Tab stack tiling, on demand plugins in tabs, more mouse gestures, better import and a more snappy UI
-
Rocking gestures (right-click, left-click for back and vice-versa for forward) seem to be broken atm.
-
My post of 7 hours ago has lost its edit capability… so the limit is under that timespan.
-
What are mouse gestures, where do you find them? They aren't in settings….
-
I still find the Downloads panel to be totally not snappy - opening it, especially for the first time from launching Vivaldi, freezes Vivaldi's interface for up to minutes… :evil:
-
BUT the "Empty Tab Title" problem remains… you know the drill :
Confirmed.
1. Pinned tabs shouldn't be closeable ! (sorry to repeating this every week !)
Agreed. I understood the whole idea of pinned tabs is to keep them safe. This was the case in Opera.
5. make the "Plugins on Demand" option available in the Settings Page.
I second that.
And it should cover also HTML5 video, as the current option does not stop YouTube from displaying the video. Where I understand it is just meant to do just it - prevent heavy content and videos from loading. -
Ctrl+tab and ctrl+shift+tab to switch tabs doesn't seem to be working in Arch Linux x64
A minor annoyance is that sometimes the tab previews/tooltips themselves show up in the previews. Not a big deal though.
Also, chiming in with my hopes of having the borders around the application removed, since I use a tiling WM that maximizes all windows by default, it would be nice to be able to click on tabs, Vivaldi menu, panel button, etc just by moving the mouse to the side of the screen and clicking (as it is now, the mouse cursor changes to a "resize" cursor–useless for me--and clicking does nothing).
Would also be nice to be able to disable the window buttons (minimize/maximize/close) entirely so the trash button is the item in the top right of the screen... Although I imagine you guys are working on eventually having full UI customization much like classic Opera 12 had.
Otherwise, very happy with the progress being made... The tab tiling is a great idea
Still very excited about your work and the browser in general! Great job!! -
A request for this blog.
In addition to this option when posting a comment:
Notify me of followup comments via e-mailwould it be asking for too much to get a separate option:
Notify me of replies to my comment via e-mailto get replies only if someone replies to my comment, instead of just add another one in the same topic? With hundreds of comments it would be really crucial and helpful.
A different e-mail subject in the e-mail would be of value then, as Gmail groups e-mails by subject. -
No gestures seem to be working for me, what may be wrong?
They work on fresh install, they do not work when you upgraded Vivaldi from previous build. Not that I find it proper, such disconnect is very worrying.
Another thing (it's been so for one or two builds before this one): text entered in "Quick commands" sometimes gets interpreted as a page nickname, so a new page may open even before hitting "Enter". Even if this is intended functionality, it should be optional and/or in a separate dialogue (like the one in Opera Presto - invoked by Ctrl+F2 by default IIRC).
Totally agreed! This should be separated out to F2 vs. Ctrl+F2, as these are two different sets of functionality with two different behaviours:
- searching through quick commands + Enter required
- invoking a bookmark - without Enter required
Moreover, the list of tabs should be either also separated out or clubbed into an expandable list, instead of listing them all on top - which clutters this option and make it unreadable.

Thank you for the reply. I tried again after 4 hours and system reboot and it is fine, I downloaded with no problems. I guess Windows was out of memory, so reboot was crucial to resolve this issue.
-
have you tried doing a clean install instead of upgrading it. I found that clean install tend to fix previous bugs. Sometimes I have clean out old browsing data as well to fix it
-
Correct. The idea was to have both. I would expect it to be fixed in next build.
Moreover down-up on a link should open it in the background. Hopefully we will see it implemented soon too. -
It happens sometimes. Again it happened just a moment ago when I posted this reply - the URL changed to:
https://vivaldi.net/en-US/blogs/teamblog/item/!/ccomment-comment=1155 -
EDIT :
OK, first, it forced this new post down to the bottom of the thread, rather than nesting it directly under yours, so it seems that there is a timer on nesting too.
Second, it DOES let me edit the new post, as you can see.
There is no timer on nesting. It is the limit of maximum levels of nesting replies.
As you can see, for example this comment still has Reply button, while newer replies to it do not.You can obviously edit your new post as it is just a regular new comment.

Exactly…

Three annoying bugs on this blog - could you fix them soon please?
1. Permalinks do not get translated properly - to links with #anchor, therefore the page does not scroll down to the comment. Which kills the idea of having permalinks, because you do not know which post does it refer to. Example:
This link:
https://vivaldi.net/en-US/blogs/teamblog/item/17-tab-stack-tiling-on-demand-plugins-in-tabs-more-mouse-gestures-better-import-and-a-more-snappy-ui#!/ccomment-comment=1206
gets translated to this:
https://vivaldi.net/en-US/blogs/teamblog/item/!/ccomment-comment=12062. In the comment compose window - when selecting URL starting with https:// and pressing the URL button, the URL tag will be added together with http:// ending up in URL starting with http://https:// - which later does not get translated to proper link and displayed as such in the comment.
3. Sometimes after adding a comment, the URL in the Vivaldi's address field changes to the like: https://vivaldi.net/en-US/blogs/teamblog/item/!/ccomment-comment=1130
and loading of such URL is not possible - blank page shows up. -
There is a strange and worrying discrepancy that some bugs exist or not depending on whether it is a FRESH Vivaldi instance or UPGRADED Vivaldi instance - both ways!
Three examples I noticed, but there is probably more:
1. Mouse gestures work in FRESH instance, but do not work in upgraded instance.
2. Ctrl+Tab does switch tabs in FRESH instance, but does not work in upgraded instance.
3. Ctrl+Left arrow in edit field triggering Back action bug does not happen in the UPGRADED instance (though it was existent in all the builds so far!!), while exists in the FRESH instance.Windows 7 Proffessional 64-bit, Vivaldi 32-bit. I am using standalone installation option.
Can it be a bug in the installer that needs to be fixed? -
Going to throw this out there because they are important.
Would like to see the NEXT update with the links panel option from opera 12 ALONG with the ability to fully customize BOTH ends of the short cut keys. Me and close to a few thousand people I interact with use fully customized shortcut keys on opera 12 as the primary reason we use it still.
Seriously would love this browser with a few small fixes to it even in its pre alpha stage.
-
Viewing notes still not fully fixed on Windows 7 Professional. If in the text there is a breakline followed by dash, only the first line of the note is visible in read mode. The whole content becomes visible after pressing edit.
Example to test yourself - paste in your notes (only Foo visible in read mode, - bar appears after pressing Edit):
Foo
- bar
Also there is an unnecessary empty line at the top of notes content in read mode. It disappears after entering Edit mode.
-
Yup. Thumbs up for the links panel!
Though I would not have high hopes for the next snapshot. -
You make gestures in the following way:
- press and hold right mouse button,
- make a gesture by sliding mouse in some predefined direction,
- release right mouse button.
The example gesture is sliding mouse left for triggering Back or sliding right for triggering Forward or sliding down for New tab or sliding down-right to close the tab.
There are also so-called rocker-gestures.
When you click and hold left mouse button and press right mouse button, you trigger Forward. The opposite buttons to trigger Back.
