Snapshot 1.0.249.12 - Web Panels, Extension buttons UI, Progress bar info and tab performance improvements
-
Sadly, still unresolved AND blocking a switch from Opera:
- Possibility to turn off "Alt" key for gestures (Alt key is used for virtual desktop switching. When I switch to the Vivaldi desktop while moving the mouse (which is a 90% case) Vivaldi closes tabs, changes history, or doing random things.)
- Configurable mouse gestures: new background tab is "down", not "down-up".
Luckily, these are only 2 things to go. PLEASE fix old issues with (slightly) higher priority than implementing new ones.

Web Panels: I'm just checking that I'm doing this right…
For pages like Twitter & Facebook, you can't click links to open them, but you can drag them to the main browser.
Is that correct?

Frequently Vivaldi's crash on start
win 10 x64 -
Jolly good, I'm glad it worked, for a moment I was unsure how accurate my memory was. I'm going to make a pot of tea.

Fixed now.

Bug (1.0.249.12; 32-Bit; Windows 7): I have tab-groups and normal tabs and pinned tabs open at the same time. When right clicking on a tab-group and selecting "close tab group" All the tabs except for the tab-groups are being closed…

1. It would be nice if the link panel and windows panel also return.
2. Seems to be an issue. The mouse pointer automatically select lines in address bar dropdown even if I do not move the mouse.
Say I type "www.e" in the address bar. I do not move the mouse pointer, however it just point to "www.ebay.com/". The line quickly shows it. When I further type, it becomes www.ebay.com/bay
It becomes a bit annoying. -
Great, and I noticed links in the button extensions dropdown doesn't open in main browser too.

I don't know if this belongs together but if you updated on the latest win 10 build this may be related to what djmax posted a bit above your comment:
Just in case:-
http://www.computerworld.com/article/2973455/web-browsers/latest-windows-10-preview-cripples-64-bit-chrome.htmlin short latest win 10 build somehow breaks the chrome sandbox and makes it unseable 64 bit only!! so if you install the 32 bit version it should work fine.
Althoutgh there is a workaround for this (for chrome dunno if this'll work with vivaldi too) rightclick your vivaldi icon select preferences and ad –no-sandbox to the start behaviour.
Please be aware of the fact that this will disable your sandbox and makes your browser highly vulnerable !!And please note I don't use win 10 therefore I can't tell if this is even the same issue, it just came to my mind because I read it earlier

Great release! Love you, Vivaldi

ENTER doesn't move the search highlighter onto the next search result, when pressed: I must click on the right arrow button near the search field, on the top of the page…

This Vivaldi build uses Chromium 45 which dropped NPAPI plugin support so Vivaldi now supports PPAPI plugins only as well.
Theoretically Vivaldi could still support NPAPI as the NPAPI code in Chromium hasn't been removed yet but it would require messing a little with Chromium code. And it will be gone for good soon anyway.
-
I've noticed that in one or more previous TP releases too but yes, I agree, it's cool… and potentially quite useful if you start hearing strange noises coming from unknown tabs!
It might help to have clicking on the speaker icon mute the tab too. I'm reluctant to have too many areas of the tab place-holder not actually just activate the tab as it's already too easy to close tabs by mistake when starting off. However, (un-/)muting a tab is a fairly safe, non-destructive operation that could be of benefit.
-
I had same problem. Work around install flash 19 beta it works.
-
It is a bug that is not fixed in this build but is fixed internally so the next snapshot should include it.
-
Yep, I agree this is a better solution for running websites in a panel. Much simpler.
Fun fact 1: I wrote the Opera blog post announcing the new sidebar extensions in Opera 3 months back. If you read it again you might notice some similarities in the announcement and this one.
Fun fact 2: The developer who did this for Vivaldi previously worked on the sidebar extension implementation at Opera.

Issues with mouse and wheel still exists.
I tended to use RMB+Wheel as the mouse equivalent of Ctrl+Tab, so it felt completely normal to me to use tab cycling order. If I'm in full screen or Ctrl+F11 mode then even more so.
RMB+Wheel work in usage order BUT(!) not as Ctrl+Tab. When I twice press Ctrl+Tab - I will be on the same page. But for RMB+Wheel I will be on pre-previous used page. -
Could you make the addon not appear everywhere in navigation bar, just in single place grouped will be OK….
-
I've just discovered a perhaps related issue where a web application we use failed to display a graph correctly, with the console showing an error as it's enumerating classes:
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot set property 'vivaldiSpatnavClickable' of undefined (at VM573:21)
So I guess the spatial navigation is having some undesirable side-effects. It would be good to have a way to disable spatnav (most sensibly via: enable/disable with site exceptions).
That section of code is prefixed with some interesting text that suggests it's a known problem:// XXX gorm 150306: !!! Currently this addEventListener hijacking
// doesn't work. Need to inject at document_start for this to work. -
Well, as I said, with emphasis, "Everything built into the core INSOFAR AS PRACTICABLE is the best idea."
Obviously, the developers will want to strike a balance between the universe all possible features and options, and what's doable in practical terms without bloating the browser and/or making their own jobs to hard to bear.
It's not that extensions are inherently bad, evil or unacceptable. It's just that the more that can be built in, within reason, the less complexity in support, bug-hunting, and process bloat.
What IS inherently evil is the concept of "just make the browser as simple as possible, and rely on extensions for all your modifications." Were that the way to go, then Chrome would be the perfect browser, followed closely by Firefox - and there would be no reason to build Vivaldi.
