Stabilization starts for 2.5 – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 1525.30
-
@Steffie We didn't get this snapshot before you have got it and I didn't have the problems before I restarted the browser after the initial restart on install, basically 10 minutes after someone reported it here and I tried to reproduce it.
The last snapshot we've got from this series was 2.5.1525.9
After that some fixes were cherry picked and probably one was faulty, at least for this branch.Several of the errors are not in the internal version, which is from a different branch, but there are others ...
-
@Steffie This is true, but in no case does a Soprano test a version prior to release. We (and you) all get it at the same time. QA runs some 600,000 automated tests and several in-person tests, but hey - not everything can be tested, especially with virgin builds. And they do have to be tested virgin, because that's the only way to weed out variables. When the devs get a regression report like this one, they test the crap out of it before the next Snapshot release. But that's why anyone and everyone can download and run a snapshot.

@archive1: great tip, thx!
-
@archive1: oops, wasn't aware that issue will be back upon next restart...
-
@TerDale The devs know. We expect this to be addressed soon.
-
@Ayespy OK, thanks. BTW, those pesky icons in address bar re-appear also if you open a tab in a new window, even if not present in the first one. What a mess!
-
@TerDale Let's see what the next Snapshot brings...

Filed bug with search bar suggestions.
(VB-52616) Search bar suggestions are cutted in popup window and not using whole length of suggestions popup
-
@gwen-dragon: Didn't work
-
@rseiler: They are still considered regressions internally, but, we already know about them, and would rather hear about any new regressions ofc
-
I've got a weird one:
-
Restart Vivaldi
-
Focus the address bar
-
Hit "cursor down", the visited link history will popup
-
Hit "cursor down" one again, the first entry will be selected
-
Every other "cursor down" will alternate the selection of the first entry, not go to the next entries in the list
Some unknown action in the address bar will fix the buggy behavior, until Vivaldi's next restart.

Is it possible to have both developer & stable version installed on the same computer sharing the same "default" folder?
-
@nutcracker It's best to avoid sharing a profile. Different versions have different ways of storing data and having two versions access at the same time could lead to corrupting your data.
-
@Gwen-Dragon VB-52640 "Keyboard navigation broken in address bar/visited link history"
-

NO!!! Absolutely, do not do that! There is an excellent chance that you'll corrupt the profile by switching back and forth. It's like downgrading to a previous version of Vivaldi -- don't do it.

I tested also the search field on speed dial and found the same bugs, and one more, reported
Summary: Search field on Speed Dial bugs
Key: VB-52643- Enable search field on Speed dial
- double click on the down arrow icon for Show search history
the Add bookmark to speed dial window appear as when double clicking on background
All the keyboard bugs present in the search field next to the address field are reproducible in the speed dial search field.
- mouse clicking the search engine icon make the list appear but doesn't disappear
- cursor down doesn't make the search engine list to appear
- shift down make the history dropdown to appear but it's not navigable with cursor keys, only tab/shift tab; same goes for search suggestions list when typing part of the search terms.
- search suggestions don't fill whole width, but are truncated halfway with "..."
- tab on history entry #2, search field shows entry #1
- esc doesn't make the dropdown to close
- shift-del doesn't delete highlighted entry.
