Snapshot 1.0.303.32 - Beta Candidate

StanG

On wordpress.com, on "add new post" page, clicking preview should save the draft and open preview in the new tab but it doesn't happen. Draft is often not saved and the new page opens with a list of all posts instead, I think it should then have a redirect to the preview but it doesn't work.

At least in recent builds the draft page doesn't crash anymore but this should probably be fixed for the beta.

Another thing that I don't like is that search converts special characters like "/" into html entities. I have a custom search for old Opera and Chrome where I know the part of the url I want, say "bg/7/9", I type it and the search fills the rest. In Vivaldi slashes are converted and it doesn't work.

Also, how can we test things that are not there yet? AND how am I supposed to test something that is so incomplete it simply cannot be used in sane way? Maybe you should change your point of view: chromium itself is tested by tons of people, vivaldi testers help a bit, but it is almost nothing
Chromium integration is important part and it indeed needs to be tested, UI is the same thing
But, without sane gestures set I'll kill someone in just few hours of struggling, operas freedom made me like that, and now I just can't stand these constrains
I'd use TP as my main browser if it had CONFIGURABLE mouse gestures with fipls and scroll to top/bottom actions exposed, that would increase my testing effectiveness by hundreds of thousands percent in comparison with just taking a look what changed and then running away in panic from that broken gestures set, don't you think?

@Mikefield:

No horizontal scrollbar in website when Bookmarks or Notes Panel is opened on the right side and content is invisible

On the pages I tested it it seems to work fine. Can you provide an URL where it happens?

Well, everything but an action response per every wheel step (don't have a freerun wheel) feels strange. It makes you feel the wheel get's broken.

But let's see what the future brings.

Depends on the language - but yes, even the better chromium translations have some really stupid stuff inside.

Sometimes I have the feeling that some of the chromium strings were translated with the help of google translate, which would explain a lot. It will be a huge task to clean that up as soon as those strings can be translated …

QuHno

No but I can read it a little bit - at least enough for testing

Here: https://vivaldi.net/en-US/teamblog/62-snapshot-1-0-303-32-beta-candidate
When I open the bookmark panel on the right side, the web page content is moved to the left, out of the Vivaldi window, i.e. the user thumbnails are not longer visible. Solutions could be following:
1. the content is not moved too the left, means, that bookmarks overlaps the right content of the web page (only when the panel is on the right side)
2. when the content is moved, a horizontal scrollbar is displayed in all cases

Q: does Stylish work for others? I have just installed it, but it doesn't seem to work. At least not with stylish-code working with Firefox.

looks like a problem with corrupted SQLite database. as a workaround, you can close Vivaldi, remove %appdata%\Vivaldi\User Data\Default\Top Sites and %appdata%\Vivaldi\User Data\Default\Top Sites-journal, and start browser - it regenerate db

Stylish is working fine for me. What code is giving you trouble?

rseiler

Yes. OK, it's not worth worrying about then if it's just me.

So sync isn't going to make it into beta? Really? This is what vivaldi lacks now, not some useless animations.

For instance

@-moz-document domain(zdnet.com) {
  a, span, div, p, .stBodyText {
		font-size: 41px !important;
  }
}
```The font size just stays unchanged.

Hopefully it's just a (firefox) user error. :lol:

Thanks for help, someone

So this is the Beta candidate… Same scenario happening on Linux as with Opera. And no wonder, given the same people manage the development, again. Dozens of bugs reported as back as a year ago still not fixed, but some irrelevant cosmetic tweaks get presented each week. Starting up takes a minute or two of 4x100% CPU usage, ALL of keyboard shortcuts completely dead, mail still missing. Not to mention simply awful Dev tools integration... Vivaldi is turning out to be an expected but feared disappointment for me. I guess I'll have to stick to my faithful 3+yo Opera 12.

Tab thumbs (vertical tabs on the left): With grouped, tiled tab stacks it still happens that thumbs are missing (but better than previous snapshots)

I really really love Vivaldi, and I really want to use it as my primary browser, but the lack of desktop notification stops me.
I hope it will be implemented soon!
Thanks for making an awesome browser!!

I guess it's a joke: jaxtraw is alluding to the high frequency of updates and suggesting that the developers must be working like slaves chained to their desks.

Mikefield

You only blaming, no concrete suggestions.

The most annoying thing is still that arrows keys doesn't work in the console on Linux. (For autocomplete, etc.)

Two gripes:

Startup with: Last Session tends to cause segmentation faults on the first run. The second one is always good, because it has then completely forgotten about that last session.
My all time favourite: Focusing the address bar contents selects them (which ruins the X11 "clipboard" experience, also reported at The Competition months ago as a regression from Opera 12.x)
