[Bug] Vivaldi freezes after system wokes up from sleeping mode
-
I am updating regularly. My current version is 1.12.955.36 (Stable channel) (32-bit).
This update bring me an issue. I am using laptop. Instead of turning down PC I am using sleeping mode when I close the laptop cover. When I came back (open cover and waking up the system) Vivaldi runs normally until i press "+" button for opening new t ab. The whole Vivaldi freezes and it is not responding. The only thing which I am able to do to press right mouse button on application tab and select close application.

I have Windows 7 Home edition x64.
I am not saying that it is general failure.
In my case Vivaldi works until I will not press "New Tab button".

I am using Vivaldi as my main browser from year now. Problem started to occur from this week after updating Vivaldi.
For better or worse I will get used to it. My point was to make someone aware of this situation.
-
Thank You very much
I will check the drivers. If this will not help I will report the bug. I wrote on the forum because I didn't know who to report the bug.
Secondly as I said in previous posts I will still use Vivaldi (this issue is little annoying but thing which will make me to use other browsers).
Keep the good work. This browser is the best! -
Fyi I'm also experiencing crashes when returning from hibernation or sleep mode. Same Vivaldi version, Windows 8.1 Pro, and it's a PC. Also a NVidia card, updated, and of a different model.
I still have to investigate the issue to see if I can reproduce it, but Vivaldi occasionally doesn't work right when returning from sleep. I have the habit of breaking my researches into windows, and at least one of the active tabs of a window will be frozen. It won't be responsive, won't reload, nothing. When I try to open a tab in the same window Vivaldi crashes. Since the window was already frozen everything just closes without warning. At least I know sessions work perfectly, haha.

@nihal Hm. I don't see this - and I hibernate my system with Vivaldi open every night.
Do either of you use extensions or anything?

I also have noticed that from time to time Vivaldi loses all opened tabs when crashes. Only saved session can bring them back (if someone saved them previously)
-
@ayespy 2 extensions: uBlock Origin and Stylus. The only extension doing something at the time was uBlock Origin, and I also crashed before I added the extensions. I'm new at Vivaldi and only added them yesterday.
I still have to do some tests to see if I can reliably reproduce the crashes to be able to report. I suspect they're more likely to happen when the system sees high usage (like 12 of 16GB of RAM in use), because the one variable in common in all the crashes I experienced was sleeping or hibernating with a lot of resources hungry programs (Photoshop, 3D softwares etc) open. These crashes felt similar to the ones I'd see years back on Firefox when it had a serious memory leak.
@shaggy You lost sessions? That's bad. I still didn't lose mine, but I'll keep an eye to report if it happens.
-
I mean I all open tabs and when I restart Vivaldi there were gone.
If however I will save them as a session then I can restore them in that way (if I will remember about that).
I am putting laptop on sleeping mode several times a day.
-
@shaggy Yeah, that's what I understood, it lost your last session, not the manually saved ones. It's bad when the browser is also crashing, you'll be left without automatic backups. Do you frequently lose the last session or is it random? If it always happens you can try to refresh your profile and see if that helps.
I also put my computer to sleep multiple times a day, + hibernate at night. Did you try to wait Vivaldi unfreeze?
Vivaldi just froze there. I took the opportunity to check if it allowed me to switch tabs (no), use mouse gestures (no), if all the windows were frozen (yes), etc. Vivaldi doesn't appear as unresponsive on the task manager or eats all the resources, by the way. Since I can trigger my crash trying to open a tab I also got ready to record the crash. It took me one or two minutes to do all of this.
As I was about to press "record" Vivaldi suddenly sprang to life and executed all the tasks I attempted earlier. See if that happens on your end too. If yes, then it's an odd case of severe lag upon resuming from sleep.

After 1-2 minutes browser unfreezes
Thank You for suggestion
-
@shaggy No problem. Since we're two people with different PC builds experiencing the same freezing issue I filed a bug report (VB-33155).
-
I have the same problem: Vivaldi UI freezes after opening new tab, whether it is by clicking the new tab button, or middle clicking a link.
If it fixes itself after a minute or so, this may be some kind of network timeout. Maybe the network card is taking a bit long to resume from suspend and the Vivaldi UI is frozen while waiting for some network operation.
-
Same issue here on 3 completely dissimilar PCs (but all running Win7 x64). Tried both v1.12 and latest 1.13 snapshot. Tried fresh installation with no extensions installed, no AV software installed, x86 and x64 Vivaldi builds. During the 1-2 minute "freeze," there is virtually no CPU activity, and plenty of RAM available. If Vivaldi is closed when the computer goes to sleep, Vivaldi can be opened and is usable right away after the computer wakes up. Other Chromium-based browsers and Firefox work fine.

One PC has an internal Intel GPU and external NVIDIA GPU. The other two PCs (one laptop, one desktop) have internal GPUs only.

I believe that I have found a work-around for this problem. I noticed that if an internet connection is not available after the PC comes out of sleep mode, and one of the actions causing Vivaldi to freeze is performed (such as opening a new tab), Vivaldi will freeze. Even if the connection is restored a few seconds after Vivaldi has frozen, Vivaldi stays frozen for about a minute. Apparently there is some sort of internal timeout in Vivaldi that causes it to freeze if the internet connection is lost, even if for a brief period. The workaround I found that worked was to disable the power management setting for the PC's network adapter (uncheck the box, "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" in the adapter's properties settings).
Not an ideal solution, but perhaps this will shed some light as to why Vivaldi is freezing.
-
Same problem with me!!! Vivaldi needs about one minute after system wake up and opening new tab or refreshing / visiting new url. The same behavior is when opening Vivaldi after wake up and try to open anything.
But strangely the problem doesn´t occur with the other user on the PC. That´s curious. The energy saving settings are the same.
Hopefully this will be fixed soon. It´s quite annoying.

@Gwen-Dragon bug report just done! VB-35027

Something that may help shed some light on this issue...
I have VMware Workstation installed on two Win7 desktop PCs that have been suffering from this problem. Several days ago, on a hunch, I disabled the "VMware Network Adapter VMnet1" and "VMware Network Adapter VMnet8" virtual Ethernet adapters in Windows' Network Connections list, and the issue has not occurred since. If the virtual adapters are re-enabled and the PC put to sleep and then re-awoken, the long delay in Vivaldi returns, and quite reliably I might add. Strange thing is, I haven't noticed any adverse effects in Workstation with these adapters disabled, at least not in the way I use my VMs.

@gwen-dragon Done, VB-35563.
