Engine update - Vivaldi Browser snapshot 1.5.638.3
-
For me the DPI scaling kicks in correctly in this version of Windows 10, pre viously had to to use 115% Vivaldi UI zoom to get the text to be legible (i'm using 125% DPI), now 100% Vivaldi UI zoom is fine!
-
The strange thing is that there's no running vivaldi.exe process, can only be seen as an open file, used by system process.
-
Something has been forcing it's way into my brain for a while now. That thought is this: I think Vivaldi is going to be better than Olde Opera. Phew! There, I said it.
-
Now if I try open links in background tabs both via mousescroll click or context menu, first time nothing happens, second time two tabs appear simultaneously. Hard to describe how much this is irritating.
-
Decreased memory usage would be most welcome. I hope you are right on that.

Win 7 64 Bit, Viv 32
After several hours rebuilding my complete Vivaldi profile I can report memory use stable and small. I started from scratch cause I figured I probably had a lot of corruption..must have. Only problem seems to be working in wrong display mode haven't re-booted yet and maybe that will clear up and/or fix itself.
Re-booting helped but display wrong and cursor doesn't even show.
-
Do you think the programmers could do this? 1) Click a folder in the bookmark panel to set it. 2) Right-click in a page and have the bookmark placed in the folder from step 1? This would be fast. But can the page know which bookmark folder is set in the panel? I think it should be doable. Or, choose a folder in the panel and then any bookmark method (shortcut, bookmark icon in address bar, or right-click in page) would place the bookmark in that folder.
-
Yeah, this does the trick. Add that to the shortcut's properties and sure enough, it now behaves like it used to. No more screwd up UI sizing, no more blurry font rendering, no more inconsistent illegible kerning like a sweetly retarded rhesis monkey on crack (aka how Linsux/Freetype normally kerns text – disturbing to see that on Winblows. I wanted shitty font rendering I'd be running Linsux!)…
All better -- thanks for the tip. "--force-device-scale-factor=1" -- that's a new one, from a quick Google search looks like the folks who use Chrome regularly have already encountered this special brand of asshattery.
-
Confirmed here. Vivaldi locks up on me too, Steffi, the whole UI goes dead if I scroll a panel when the UI zoom is less than 90%.
The Close button on Vivaldi's tab on the system Task Bar works so it's easy to restart and Reset the zoom without killing off the stack of Vivaldi processes. Would you like to do the Bug Report or shall I?

Going back to FF to hard to use not being able to read 1/4 of UI and no cursor…you'd think chrome would check these things out BEFORE releasing.
-
What system are you on?
Because I can't confirm this behaviour for Win 7 64bit and Snapshot 1.5.638.3 32bit.
This bug is an old one that (as far as I know) was killed about a year ago and back then it didn't appeared on all systems.
You might want to file a bugreport on this https://vivaldi.com/bugreport -
This release very buggy for me… Office 365 mail is almost unusable (hotkeys ignored, having to reload site a lot), anything with an input field sometimes has a cursor and sometimes not (this applies to any site it seems).
Startup time can still be minutes sometimes, and 10 seconds or so at best. -
I'm experiencing some really weird issues on my desktop pc. First one, youtube videos are freezing the browser when seeking occasionally. The second one is really strange, the writing pointer disappears completely when commenting on Facebook posts. On my laptop this build works completely fine. Maybe it has something to do with the full hd resolution on the desktop (or maybe it's time for a clean profile).
Both systems are running Vivaldi 64bit on Windows 10.
-
Did neither of Aronand's suggestions work for you?
-
The cursor issue is a known one, I also believe the hotkeys issue is known too, hopefully we have a fix for them soon
-
Thanks 3Phase. I was astonished nobody else seemed affected by this bug, at least not enough to post about it, so i'm grateful that you did [now i can revert to my standard rather than elevated levels of concern at my sanity]. I made the bug report, but don't know the number of it.
Ooh, brilliant, no sooner had i written that previous clause, when the email arrived:

Issue Collector created VB-22358:Summary: UI Scale <100% freezes Vivaldi when navigating Bookmarks & Notes Panels.
Key: VB-22358
Project: Vivaldi BrowserUI Scale <100% freezes Vivaldi when navigating Bookmarks & Notes Panels.
Steps to reproduce:
If i set UI Scale to <100%, both Bookmarks & Notes panels become unusable, & so does V... attempting to scroll up or down in either, causes a veeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrry long lag to occur, during which V itself freezes. Resetting UI Scale to 100%, or choosing anything >100%, works perfectly well.Address (URL) of faulty page:
Bookmarks & Notes Panels.Expected behaviour:
No freezes, irrespective of UI Scale. Worked fine until latest SS 1.5.638.3 dev (64-bit).Actual behaviour:
V freezes. 3Phase has confirmed that it also occurs in Windows 10 x64 | Vivaldi x64 and x86.Vivaldi version:

In some textboxes, including this one I'm currently using here (but first noticed it yesterday with the Youtube search box) the cursor disappears, sometimes comes back but I haven't figured how what causes the re-appearing.
Some other issue I had when I tried to edit (CTRL-A, DEL => start over, typing it anew) the text I was typing yesterday in one of those textboxes, the CTRL-A highlighted the text but the DEL did not delete it.

// Ok, I just read a bit of this thread, so it's switching tabs to fix the vanishing cursor issue until it's resolved. At least a workaround
-
There is a problem in this version with Disqus. It takes ages to open and it's very-very difficult to log-in!
Update Problem solved! An extension caused it! Sorry! -
Yeah, something like that. Actually I'm considering the current features, when, for example, you RMC (sorry for the typo above) or press Ctrl+D in a page and the pop up that already appears when you click on the icon in address bar would appear the same way. Then you would set the bookamark up as you wish. But your ideas are like a extension to this, very nice.
Other thing is still missing related to this feature is, during the bookmark process, we can add and delete folders, move and rename them, all inside that pop up window (or whatever feature they may make). I hope it is in their plans for a medium term at least…

The disappearing cursor is a known issue.
