Snapshot 1.2.490.32 - Vivaldi 1.2RC1
-
Well, this snapshot wasn't added features, it was regression fixes. I think I noticed each size bump with every Chromium update.
-
Regression: Since 1.1 opening a new tab when "next to active" set opens it next to active. However, in the last recent snapshots, this still happens, but the new tab flickers at the end of the tab bar, and THEN goes next to the active tab.
This used to be a problem pre-1.1, didn't become a problem for a while, and has come back. It gives a feeling of instability, and isn't super professional.
I'm loving this snapshot's fixes, I just wish this one was part of them before the 1.2 Stable release.

That download bug is really the only thing preventing me from making the full switch and using Vivaldi as my main browser. I am itching to ditch Firefox but as a frequent TiddlyWiki user I can't use it comfortably with downloads silently going to the default folder.
I would eventually like to see a feature that allowed defining per domain and per file type download location.

Thank you for letting know on this! But why are you providing two bug numbers, as if they were two different issues? As far as I can see VB-17935 is a duplicate of your other report VB-14756, correct? You do not need to report the same issue twice.
Anyway, I can reproduce and confirm VB-14756 - so noted. Thanks. -
All of those here testing enjoy doing so, and thanks is all around appreciated and we show our thanks by testing :D. I was wondering, we have a place in forums for feature requests. Would it be possible for Vivaldi to release weekly polls for users to vote on the next feature that is put into the browser? I think it would be neat to be able to vote and then see the progress being done. It doesn't have to include MAJOR things like sync and mail, that take a lot of time, but things that can be done in a week or two?

The bookmarks bar regression issue compared with Vivaldi Stable 1.1 is still present in this Snapshot: it is no longer possible to successfully select text-only for bookmarks on the bar; instead they display as both icons and text, severely impairing how many bookmarks will fit on the basic bar without overflowing. If this ripples into the 1.2 Stable release, there will no longer be any 'current' Vivaldi version in any channel capable of displaying text-only bookmarks on the bar.
-
Two bugs with boorkmarks persist in 1.2 version:
BUG 1: When sorting the boorkmarks by name, address etc, the bookmarks shuffle with the folders.BUG 2:
1 - Open a bookmark.
2 - Click on the add bookmark button in address bar.
3 - Click on "Delete" to send the bookmark to trash.
4 - Click on the add bookmark button again. Now it is not possible anymore to delete the bookmark that is on the trash as it is possible to do on previous versions.
5 - Click one more time on add bookmark button and it will not response.I have not reported these bugs. Please, someone with a good English report it.

clicking on extensions in private browsing still doesn't work
-
I'm not sure if this is a major issue, but it seems like some keyboard input doesn't work on Speed Dial. I think it's because the addressbar is auto-focused.
For example the arrow keys (Up, Down), Page Up, Page Down, Home, End don't work on Speed Dial.

Has no reason to comment with huge letters, developers will see your comment anyway.

@Ayespy: It is not really always that long. It very much depends on the bug and many factors, but some bugs get reported in one snapshot and fixed just for the next one. One thing for sure - there is always plenty to work on and improve, so not everything can be addressed immediately. But reminding about bugs here on the blog is fine.

I did all that. Every other browser works fine in combination with G-Sync.
I even analyzed stacktraces of multiple browsers to figure out what they do different, when they go to fullscreen, but from what i can see, they are all using the directmanipulation API (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dn423904(v=vs.85).aspx) to handle their window transitions, but that's not the problem.
Interestingly enough I'm able to start child processes that do have the g-sync problem and child processes that don't have them, running under the same host process. So it has nothing to do with the overall host process.
It has something to do with the GPU acceleration and the fact, that the nVidia driver is recognizing GPU accelerated processes as games if they are run in fullscreen mode. That's at least my guess. Netflix and a couple of other apps had the same problem.
I'm just wondering if that's the case with freesync monitors as well. I imaging, that the driver has to work very similar.PS:
I also tried forcing my system to use a fixed framerate but this also didn't work.

@mozzer: I confirm VB-10968, however I cannot confirm VB-12797 and VB-12798. I have reported myself the same bug as VB-12798 but I cannot reproduce it anymore.
So please retest. If it still happens, maybe you have some extension, which causes such behaviours. To be sure, please try on a fresh profile/installation.
-
Have you reported it maybe? What are the bug numbers?
-
I love this browser
-
Just FYI, i've also reported this some time ago, and that issue can be closed as well when the bug is fixed.

I totally agree. I just don't think surprise or indignation at the durability of some bugs is necessarily warranted.
Some will be trivial to fix, and some like moving heaven and earth.
No one should be shocked if their pet bug is still here. I couldn't understand for the first five or six builds the pin/stack tab regression was present (though I never got strident about it), but I had to get used to the idea it's either really tough, or really unimportant, to fix. To be frank, the only reason I even responded to that comment was the exclamation point - indicating the user is amazed that they still exist. Amazement is probably not realistic.

An mosquito-sized bug that's been zizzzing around for a while and is probably related to all the bigger, numbered, bugs being swatted around the Blog today:
Saving the Backup settings for some Extensions like uBlock-O always puts the file in the default download directory with no "Save As…" prompt.
