Reader view access options - Vivaldi Browser snapshot 1.5.644.7

Firstly, we are aware of the bug and plan to fix it.
That said, I don't agree that V is completely unusable. You have to have UI zoom enabled and enough expanded bookmarks to cause a scroll bar. It also requires that you use the bookmarks panel to access your bookmarks. I now suspect, given that only you are reporting it that only a minority are actually hitting this bug. So yes it is very serious for those who's workflow causes them to see the issue but the vast majority will not hit this bug and this does affect its priority. Once again I will stress that we are planning to fix it.
P.S. It is not UI scaling, it is UI zoom.

I suspect that what you are seeing is not a bug. I could be wrong but it is my current gut feel. Rather you are seeing a bug fix.
It seems that previously we were not always respecting the UI scaling defined by Windows and that Vivaldi was too small (relative to other compliant applications). Thus if you had 125% UI scaling Vivaldi was still at 100%, while the file manager and other compliant applications were scaled to 125%.
If you want Vivaldi to be smaller reduce the Windows UI scale factor. If for some reason you want Vivaldi to be smaller but the rest of your applications to be the correct size, then use our UI zoom to scale Vivaldi back.
If you think I might be wrong or have misunderstood perhaps you could provide a screenshot of your desktop with Vivaldi running alongside the file manager. This will allow us to compare the scaling on both.

I'm not yet convinced this is a bug. See my other reply.

Try loading a URL with Japanese in it and copy and paste.

Scaling back Vivaldi via the UI zoom (in my case to 75%) results in getting the proportions I used to have with the previous version. Yet the text is not crisp but blurry. Using vivaldi.exe /high-dpi-support=1 /force-device-scale-factor=1 so far is the only working solution for me, as I do not want to reduce the Windows UI scale factor.
-
Cut & Copy Encoded is a setting for special characters like Japanese or Russian, where the difference is in how the characters are encoded for links and such, if I'm not mistaken.

What Ruario said
-
Found a regression. Ctrl + Enter no longer appends .com to the end of the typed text in the address bar.
Vivaldi 64bit, win 10

well we could add a setting that basicaly causes Vivaldi to ignore Operating System scaling (equivalent to those switches).
But could you tell me, are you other apps scaled? Coud you provide a screenshot of your desktop with several apps running.
P.S. The fix for this might be as simple as removing UI scaling in Windows then all your apps will be "fixed" not just Vivaldi.

Too bad, still no decent support for HTTP referer header -> VB-18362/VB-11034

I can live with 100% UI Zoom if we have some way to scale the speed dial page, and if the text size in bookmarks and tab titles respected my Windows text scaling. Setting 90% UI Zoom solves the speed dial problem so that I can get 6 columns by 3 rows again, but now text is too small to read.

With UI Zoom back to 115% as it used to be, the text is fine, but the speed dial has only 4 columns. -
Switching reader view via quick commands steals the focus. I use quick commands as I want to keep hands on the keyboard. After switching, I read the page and want to scroll down but pressing page down does nothing. Focus seems to be somewhere else.

Confirmed and doesn't prefix www. either. Vivaldi x64, Win 7

Thanks Ruari. I agree with you that "I don't agree that V is completely unusable". However, in self-defence, i made no such blanket statement; i specifically qualified it… "V is completely unusable … with UI < 100%".
You have to have UI zoom enabled –> yep, i do!
and enough expanded bookmarks to cause a scroll bar. –> yep, i do! [but note, it's ditto with [i]Notes]
It also requires that you use the bookmarks panel to access your bookmarks –> yep, i do!Sorry about my silly Scale in lieu of Zoom; i don't know why i wrote that.

Issue has been confirmed in VB-22477, look for it in future snapshots

Please feel my second cup of coffe dedicated to yourself. Thanks for the explanation.

Yeah, I don't like the look of it now in the non-hover state. I understand the reason for the change, but it doesn't look as nice now.
Also, I think the change only slightly helps with discoverability. I'd prefer it said "Menu" on it like Opera now does or use the somewhat-standard 3 lines or 3 dots. Of course, with the 3 lines/dots, you lose the logo.
In short, I think more experimentation is needed to get this right.

chrome://flags/#enable-tab-audio-muting
/ enable/disable/default / -
And just to be sure, the version of Chrome is 54, right ?
You can force activate the GPU for some feature in the flags. All in all, I have no idea why it behave differently. Don't hesitate to file a bug about that
