1420.4 Does not Open Tab from links (Win 10 Insider)
-
A link in an email causes V to hang. Need to close with Task Manager. When re-launched, the tab is populated with the link destination site. Using fully updated Win10 Pro 64-bit

Tested with Viv 2.3.1420.4 (32bit) on win 7(64bit) opening the following links I send to myself from my vivaldi mail account, my gmx acc and my mail ru acc.google.com
wikipedia.org
youtube.com
reddit.com
9gag.comEverything works fine and as expected.
So the only difference I can see so far is that you use win 10 but you didn't state if you opened the link in a separate mail program like thunderbird or M2, what the link is linking too and from what mail account you did this.

@mesns Ditto for 18309.1000. I'm sure this occurred previously? 18312 is out but not available to me just yet, will retest when Win upgraded

Links in emails work for me. Tested both links in-browser (using Outlook.com) and in-app (using the Windows Mail app).
Try refreshing your profile to see if you have an extension or something that causes this issue.
Edit: Disregard this post. The issue happens to me as well if I minimised Vivaldi first.My system
Vivaldi: 2.3.1420.4 (Official Build) (64-bit)
OS: Win 10 64-bit, fully updated (with October 2018 update) -
@Gwen-Dragon Ah, if I minimise Vivaldi before clicking the email link I can confirm that this still happens. Just tested this and if Vivaldi is minimised when an email link is clicked, it will open up Vivaldi but the browser is frozen.
Does a bug report exist for this, or should I create one?@mesns You do not need to force-quit the browser to get it to respond again. It's enough that you just minimise it (click on it in the task bar, or Win+D to minimise all programs) and then open it again, or leave maximised mode (press Win+Down).
Edit: This issue seems to be related to any program telling Vivaldi to open a new tab. I get the exact same freeze when I minimise Vivaldi and then open a PDF.

I already reported this
VB-47650 "[Chr72] Opening URLs from external programs freezes Vivaldi up to a minute"Okay, nice!

This helps me: Hit the icon in Windows taskbar to minimize and once more to restore Vivaldi window.
Yep, mentioned it above. You can also use Win+Down to fix it.

@Gwen-Dragon Yes it is
