Keyboard does not work under Mint (with X Neural keyboard layout switcher)
-
@alex133
Was this a new install or upgrade.
If it was an upgrade try starting with a new profile path.
In terminal
vivaldi --user-data-dir=$HOME/vivaldi-test-profile
This will run vivaldi using a vivaldi-test-profile folder in your home directory as the config path.
Can be deleted when finished testing. -
It was a new install of Vivaldi on 2 different computers.
Test profile does the same. -
I'm on Mint 18.2 (Cinnamon - 32bit) and works fine for me.
as @zaibon says in the Edit note could be something interfere with keyboard. Maybe you have some active settings or software that is focused in background or in another space (look at the dektop workspace).
Another thing that you can try is maximize Vivaldi (to be sure of that, try to open the panel on right side by clicking over).
Also, try to ALT + (drag and move window elsewhere), than maximize again and try to write. -
Mint 18.1 Serena/Cinnamon 64-bit, all updates including kernel and firmware, fairly common Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse combo - all working as expected in all parts of the browser, text windows, address bar, etc.
I do NOT use any other desktop or window managers than just what comes prepackaged with Mint.

Wow! I've found the spoiler finally.
It is X Neural keyboard layout switcher. Thanks to @zaibon note.
But I'm not ready to get rid of this extremely helpful program.
I must make them work together somehow. -

O_o woah - that was just a shot into the blue and to rule out some very unlikely stuff. -
@alex133 good that you find the reason this can be helpful for other users, in the future

Well, 3 months went away, but this bug is still alive and well
-
The bug is still there, nothing changed. The latest snapshot behaves also as the stable Vivaldi does.
-
Yes, it is.
