Easter Snapshot 1.0.142.32

I know that one of the main concerns is to make the browser stable, even if it's lower on the priority list right now, but can we get some kind of fail safe? I mean I'm not sure if this is a feature or a bug, but when random crash occurs (it's quite rare for me), and Vivaldi's main window closes, the tabs remain open. If it's the former, then this is bloody brilliant, just make sure there is some kind of a "if (crash()) reopen_vivaldi();" condition somewhere, because trying to open it right after a crash does nothing. If it's the latter, then please make the browser to close all related tasks, or at least mark that one that closes all in taskmgr. It's kind of annoying to hunt for this special vivaldi.exe, when the browser crashes and leaves behind 30+ tabs. (By the way, Win7 both 32 and 64 bit)
Also, I'm not sure if anybody else has a problem with this, but can we get some kind of latency on auto-complete in the address bar? It works fine, but when I type in an address, it's usually completed with a related but not relevant address (e.g. I type in domain.com/folder, and expect the index.php, but auto-complete immediately fills it with /other.php, a page I visited earlier). A little latency would be nice, enough to decide if I want to hit enter, but not too much, for it slows down browsing.
I have other things in mind, but I don't want to sound to bitchy about everything, I DO know this is a TP and a lot will change in the future, and on the other hand, I don't want to overwhelm you with tiny details. You make a terrific job, and I love you for making me a browser.

Yes, it happens to me too when Vivaldi is overloaded with many tabs and Win7 is running out of memory and swapping a lot on the hard drive.
It is fairly easy to replicate what you describe - in such situation when the browser and Windows are overloaded, press the button to maximize the YouTube video to fullscreen - it will freeze the browser for loooong minutes, showing and hiding the Vivaldi UI a few times in the meantime.
I believe it may be hard to do anything with it. It is all about Chromium engine eating tens or hundreds of MB of memory per each webpage :roll: and it is rather not quite possible to optimize it …ever.
At least I hope that switching to fullscreen will be fixed one day to be immediate in any conditions. Not sure if it is fix-able though...In the meantime I take the blame on me - that I cluttered the browser with too many open tabs...
-
Very nice print preview! One little issue: Ctrl+P to show Print preview, click Cancel and Vivaldi windows is inactive (not focused). 64 bit V.
-
It would be great if the gestures were customizable. Hope it will be so in the future.
-
If possible, I'd like for Vivaldi to have support to H.264/MSE & H.264 codecs on TP3, so the 360p thing on Youtube would be gone.
I loved how tabs now change when the page is loaded, but I still find Vivaldi having Memory Leaks from time to time. And as always, SD previews being off or not showing anything at all.
-
How about we put some order there and say every new tab generated by a tab that is stacked will be kept in the same stacking group? And they will always open on the rightmost side.
-
After saving images, Vivaldi freezes for 4 or 5 seconds. Win 8.1 64bit / Vivaldi 64bit.
-
Auto-update doesn't work properly on Windows 7:
- I have three portable versions on my desktop, one 32 bit, one 64 bit and one with the erroneously released mail client and of this last one i made a copy to update, then i deleted it, i opened the standard 32 bit version, launched the autoupdate and it created again the folder copy on my desktop installing the new version of Vivaldi not portable but like an installed application.
- If i try to auto-update the 64 bit version happens the same and it's impossible to auto update because appear again the folder and nothing is updated.
Other problems:
- If i open the 32 bit and 64 bit versions together, icons on the Windows taskbar appear like two instances of the same executable instead of two separated icons of two different programs running at the same time.
- The Italian translation in some menu (view, tools, window, help) and in some settings are really bad (it's like this from the first translated version and nothing changed even if in the Italian forum there were some discussions about it).
- Also in the English translation there are some little problems, especially in Panel/Panels that sometimes are singular and sometimes are plural. A panel (singular) is one of the elements in the Panels (plural) bar. So, the button "Show panel" have to be "Show panels" like in the "Toggle panels" and the same is in the panels settings where "Panel position" and "Panel options" have to be plural because it's not a setting of a single panel but all the panels group settings.
- Single settings (General, Appearance, Navigation…) are really better to use if no scroll down is needed (like in Opera 12) and putting less blank spaces between listed options can help it.
- Let me choose where to save every single download instead of download all the files in a single folder.
Ciao, Igor

Win 7 64 Bit, 32 Vavaldi
After playing around with this version for awhile some things I think need to be done or problems.
No. 1 Seems like program needs a LOT of resources with 20 or so tabs. Really SLOW when loading a new tab and URL when opening new link from there.
No. 2 Still looking for a global setting on size view instead of the 100% default, I am more comfortable with 110%. I have old tired eyes.
No. 3 you can specify download target in settings but IF that needs to be changed can't change it while downloading. THAT feature will save a lot of time.
Thanks about ready to make default.

Same here

Win 7
Auto Update didn't install correctly.Had same problem, but had downloaded the program, so that way it installed fine!

Me too.

Status bar button, for me, have to tile a stack if you are in a stack and all the other tabs if you are out of a stack.
-
I have found something strange: while visiting websites and press the w-key on my keyboard a orange rectangle is shown. What does it mean?
-
BUG: Windows 10 64 bit Vivaldi. Every single time I close the browser it pops up a window and tells me Vivaldi crashed and asks if I want to relaunch it. It also starts an error report to send to Microsoft.
-
BUG: When I try to pin a tab, the tab is not pinned and I can't change tab (click on the tab doesn't work), then I have to restart the browser (and then the tabs are pinned as should)
-
Hey! I'm using Windows 10 x64, sometimes the context menus not working.
-
I feel that Tile Tab stack should be automatically be on and could be toggle via Page tiling at the bottom right corner of the webpage. Save me time having to right click a grouped tab window and select it everytime
-
Hi! Any chance that vivaldi uses a dual engine system like in maxthon? would be awesome being able to use the current engine and the presto one
-
Can't help but agree with this. Not to mention pages load before extensions when I start Vivaldi, so I'll have to cycle through every tab reloading them in order for AdBlock to prevent ads from loading. Couple that with Chromium memory leaks and natural consumption, I get a browser that uses almost 3GB of RAM Memory every time I start it. That's almost all the RAM I have, so my pc starts lagging a lot.
There's still a lot of stuff I want Vivaldi to implement, but I think we're on a sweet spot to improve performance before adding anything else (though I really would love for Vivaldi to properly support HTML5 videos, so I wouldn't have anymore 360p limited videos on Youtube).
