Mouse gesture for opening a new tab doesn't work all the time
-
Hi all,
I finally switched from Opera to Vivaldi. After 15+ years of using Opera, I find Vivaldi to be a browser with great potential, but still requires some fine tuning.
One of the first bugs I've seen is related to mouse gesture (right click + down) which should open a new tab. It works, but is buggy. Sometimes, when I try to open new tab with mouse gesture, it opens last closed tab or a blank screen. Ctrl-T solves the problem, but I'm very used to mouse gestures (been using them since they first came with Opera) so Ctrl-T doesn't work for me.
Regards,
Damir -

That's strange, I use this mouse gesture all the time and have never seen this problem.

@zaibon said in Mouse gesture for opening a new tab doesn't work all the time:
@calypso This is a known bug that is triggered when you perform the mouse gesture on a spot where in the recently closed page an url was placed ( I know this sounds stupid but it is indeed reproducible)
Not sure it is the same, as that "bug" is opening a link from the old tab - so opening to an unwanted/incorrect tab; not as
@calypso said
it opens last closed tab or a blank screen.

The "[...] it opens last closed tab [...]" thing is the same but I've to admit that I skipped reading the "[...]or blank screen[...]" part. This indeed might not belong together or it could be a combination from old tab is reopened bug and the blank screen bug - but I am not sure.

Yes, the same problem here.
Too often the right mouse button + swipe down (even when performed over a blank area of a page) open some other URL "out of nowhere" instead of giving me the new tab.
Another gestere that is missing is "clone tab" as in right mouse button + swipe down and up that used to work in Opera < v12.18 unless you performed it starting over alink.

"Clone Tab" can be added as a new mouse gesture (Settings/Mouse - press the plus under the list of gestures).

@TbGbe Nice. Thank you very much for the hint that I definitely will give a look.
