Crash fixes – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 1504.6

@archive1 It should open links in a new background tab, and does for me.

Specs: AMD A10-6800K, 8 Gb on Win 10 64-bit 1809 build 17763.379 • Snapshot 2.5.1504.6 (64-bit)

Thank you for all the work daily/weekly. Let's not let Locking Speed Dials feature slip out of our minds. It's not a cool request, but it's one that's a priority. At least, please let me know why dragging speed dials shifts their order by a single pixel? This needs fixing yesterday. Accidentally sliding over a speed dial when you just wanted click on it is odd to keep in these builds.

@Vividal This issue does not deserve a higher priority. I don't know why you keep nagging about it.

You have to move the speed dial thumbnail a long way (past the centre/middle of the adjacent thumbnail) before it actually changes places. That's about 250 pixels.

If your experience is that they change their order when dragging by a single pixel, best submit a bug report. If others had that experience we would see dozens of posts about it.

Are you using some extension or Windows accessibility option like Sticky Keys?

It hasn't been functional on my Manjaro/KDE install for several weeks

Oh, how odd. It continues to work fine for me. If you try a clean V profile, or create a 2nd V User, does it work ok there?

Both links work 100% on my home PC with a nvidia card, so it's just a problem with a card-less pc

Both links work fine for me [now that i have this new SS], with NO dedicated video card, just the mere integrated Intel graphics.

Stable version also needs to fix that at every startup of Vivadi, "What's new" page is shown.

I can reply for him: because it's damn annoying the speed dial can't be resized natively and we have to use a css mod to shrink the thumbs sizes, and THAT is causing the misbehaviour, at least to me the mod makes the sensitivity to thumb dragging more acute.

If your experience is that they change their order when dragging by a single pixel, best submit a bug report. If others had that experience we would see dozens of posts about it.

It can be that, like me, nobody bothered to report it, I know it's caused by a mod so there's no reason to complain. I'd rather see the feature of better handling of SD thumbs geometry being taken into consideration.

@Steffie my work pc intel cpu is a really old core 2 duo g6950 2.80ghz (in use since circa 2009) so we can have different experiences.

Vividal

@pesala: Nope. I've seen others have the same complaint. And it does take priority because the speed dial page is the standard/default homepage for almost everybody.

@lonm: Update: Strangely, the downloads now shows the correct "fading out" for deleted files. I think this happened after I had initiated a download.

Pesala

@Vividal Then you should start a new thread in the appropriate forum: Windows Forum if you're using Windows, etc.

Provide a recipe how to reproduce the issue, saying if you're using any modifications (like iAN CooG) or extensions, or external software.

The feature request to lock the speed dial is not related to the bug. If the bug does what you say then it should have a higher priority than a Feature Request, which is only a workaround to block the bug.

Ruarí

@enc0re: Let us know if the latest stable fixed that or not

I'm finally convinced that tile locking in speed-dial is an impossible task!

Impossible to edit the web address. For example, clear the current address, then enter the letter "h" and you get http://h . Now touch Backspace 2 times and you end up with http://http . I'm trying to enter a secure https:// address and am unable to do so. Try to backspace at this point and cursor won't move.

@x-15a2: Confirmed here. Editing a specific URL is weird.

@ian-coog: It apparently work on some links, but not others

Steffie

OMZ, nasty. My otherwise well-behaving SS just went feral on me. It froze & ate 100% of one of my cpu cores, thereby bumping up the temperature alarmingly. Had to kill V. The trigger seems to have been to perform a "Find in Page" on a site, followed by an attempted Page Down mouse gesture [though tbh i suspect the freeze occurred just before the MG].After restarting V-SS, i could not reproduce the bug. Ooh.

@Steffie Did this happen on a new page (that might still have been in the process of loading) or a previously-hibernated tab that just got activated?

Steffie

@xyzzy Good question, but no not a new tab. Twas one of my "permanent" tabs, & whilst i had recently refreshed/reloaded it, that process was over prior to my FiP & MG.

I realise there's not enough info here to investigate, given that it did not afterwards repeat for me. However it shocked me so much i felt i still should mention it.
