New Window broken on Mac with multiple desktops
-
Behavior on Mac with multiple desktops is pretty bad. If I switch to a desktop with no Vivaldi windows then do Cmd-N, the File menu highlights but nothing happens. Strangely if I choose "New Window" from the menu I'm switched back to the screen that has Vivaldi on it and then a new window opens.
Expected behavior:
- Open a new window on the screen I am currently on. (same as Safari or other well behaved Mac apps)
Every other browser I use seems to have expected behavior.

@JoshGoebel thanks for your post.
Have you reported it on vivaldi.com/bugreport already?
If so what's the VB-number please? -
I have the almost identical problem on MacOS (10.14) using the latest Vivaldi 4.
That is, on a desktop with no Vivaldi window in it, if I switch (Cmd-Tab) to Vivaldi and press Cmd-N, the File menu highlights from the action but no new window opens. However, if I use the File menu directly, a new window does open in the current desktop.
While you can navigate the menu using keyboard shortcuts in MacOS (by pressing Ctrl-F2, given that "full keyboard access" is activated, in turn toggled by Ctrl-F1, then use the arrow keys to go to the menu item and press return/enter), this is less known and less efficient. So I agree with the original poster that Vivaldi ought to do what most other Mac apps do, that is to open a new window in the current desktop when Cmd-N is pressed.
