@saudiqbal I noticed that once, but now it's working normally. If you can figure out a reliable recipe submit a Bug Report

@cqoicebordel: Add this to request list please

mouse gestures never worked with popup windows, not only in these 2 Snapshots

@ian-coog Try one like this, with lots of comments. Ctrl + Scrollwheel to zoom in/out or mouse gesture to scroll down/up.
no idea what's wrong for you, everything works for me on that youtube page, mouse gestures, ctrl-scrollwheel zooms in and out, and "search with" works

@neltherion Tab stacks are shown in the window panel, and can be ungrouped. Tabs selected in the panel can be stacked. Pinned tabs are shown as a single entry. There's not yet a menu option to group tabs by URL. One must do that from the Tab Bar.
The "Pinned tabs" shown here are actually a folder. So all the pinned tabs will be available inside. The folder is kept when there are no pinned tabs so that you can drag-to-pin tabs onto it.

Expand all folders does not show the tabs included in the Tab Stack. The "folder" cannot be renamed either. Some work is needed to make this more useful. My "Pinned Tabs" folder is actually a tab-stack of pinned tabs.

@pesala: Thanks! It'd be great if we could group and ungroup tabs by click of a button in this panel... This would give tremendous control over a collection of more than 50 tabs... especially in those situations when you have so much tabs you don't even know how to get to those tabs for that specific URL...
-
@ugly: Today this happened to me, too. I opened one tab in the background and closed the current one so it normally should switch to the one opened in background and got the grey Vivaldi logo.
And I think I can reproduce it reliably: You have to close the active tab while the other one is still not loading but is waiting for a response of the website. So a slow internet connection might be useful to reproduce thisWindows 7 64-bit with Vivaldi 64-bit
edit: I reported this, VB-34035.

I'm sorry to say that this snapshot is a disaster! By looking at the 'known issues' I didn't find anything particularly alarming and I decided to install it! I observed that it does not remember the previous browser window position and size, but...hey, this is a minor problem! Then I open some tabs and tried to 'scroll' through them by using the wheel mouse gesture - Vivaldi crashed in a way that I have never seen before: the browser window went grey without toolbar or anything else, just a grey parallelogram! I closed Vivaldi by using the task manager! I tried again with the same results - then I experienced some other peculiar crashes without any apparent reason! Thank God I use regular backups, because Vivaldi does not support 'downgrading' to a previous version and I had to completely uninstall and re-install the browser! Please do not release new versions (even by disabling auto-update) before thorough investigation of the BASIC functionality - perhaps you should consider 'installation unrolling' to the previous version or even having two versions at the same time and the possibility of selection between the two and, consequently, the un-installation of one of them after testing!
-
@steffie Thanks, I reported the zoom problem, VB-34036. Regarding the crash I seem to be lucky, didn't experience such problems. But I'm using Windows 7 and not Linux.
-
Addition to my previous post: When Ι installed the previous version and restored the 'default' folder, everything (extensions, passwords, thumbnails etc.) fell into place and everything worked as they should - in contrast with a one of my previous attempts a year ago when, after restoring, I had to re-install all the extensions from scratch!
-
@steffie To answer my own question... the solution was simple [but isn't everything, once you know?]. All i needed to do on each of the still-only-flashplayer sites i routinely use, was use the Address Bar Site Info drop-down menu & mark said sites as "Always allow on this site" for "Flash". These sites have never needed me to do that before, hence i did not immediately think of this today for the new V. However now that i have realised, & done it, V-SS is again going gangbusters for me.

Missing proper Pin-Stacked tabs support and not only in the windows panel. Had two stacks with some pinned tabs (5 in total) not appearing in the new panel. Disabling the Pinned Folder in settings showed the stacks albeit with a little ugliness in the title since the stack icon and pinned icon have plenty of space in between.
In the process I ungrouped a tab stack and can't now group them because of their pinned state and thus would like proper support.
Cycling in tab order gets messed up with stacks but that always happened, at least for me. Just now in a stack with 2 tabs it jumped to another stack tab and only then to the second tab in the stack. Both using the mouse wheel or the 1, 2 key shortcut. Stacks in general and tab order seem wonky for me with cycle in tab order. Cycling from this non stacked tab jumps to another stack with 2 full stacks of tabs in between...
Edit:
Activate with single click in the windows panel is not consistent in relation to Pinned Tabs and Tab Stacks. Clicking in the folder arrow jumps to the stack but not to the pinned tabs. Would suggest that single click would differentiate between clicking in one tab or in a group/folder and only jump for tabs and not folders. -
@ayespy: But expect a few more builds in the days to come.

Sheer genius -- thanks! It never crossed my mind to untick that option. When i did, voila, all my pinned-stacks appeared in the WP... yay. Yes, it's less optimum than still showing their parent folder in the tree, but i found a simple workaround for that... just rename each of the pinned-stacks, then in the WP the parent row displays the stack name instead of merely mimicking one of the child tabs. It's not perfect, but your tip gives me a huge leap fwd. WP is now fully functional for me; yay.

@steffie: Yeah, sorry, I wasn't clear. It's indeed just a an option switched to off by default now. The aim is to discourage webdev to use it, while still allow its use by the users.
-
@dleon: I never said it was Google
Indeed, Adobe stated that the end-of-life of Flash will be 2020. And to avoid that havoc you are describing, Google decided to push firmly the webdevs towards other technologies, by deactivating Flash by default.
So, now, you can still use Flash, but tons of websites will see what will happen without it, and that'll give them time to adapt. -
@dleon: And just a precision, MKV is built for streaming, more than MP4 anyway.
