[Regression] Checking “Allow in Incognito (Private Window)” makes the extension icon disappear VB-51905
Finally! However, extensions still move out of their place when changing one of the options.
Edit
Extension popups are still broken. How has this not been fixed yet?
In the gif that I posted:
- I click on the leftmost icon first. It opens normally, then I click it again to close it.
- I then click on the middle extension and it opens normally, but then I click again, and it does not close (the popup flickers).
- I do the same for the rightmost icon, and it does the same as the middle icon.
- Finally, I click on the leftmost icon again, and rather than showing its popup, it closes the popup of the rightmost icon.

@gwen-dragon: to fix, just disable the extension, restart browser, then renable it again
Thank you - I thought I was stuck with that mess...
EDIT; Nope, back after another restart... who the **** thought that was a good idea? -
"[Regression] Download “save as” and “open” just save in default location VB-51913"
Thanks for the fix, but unfortunately for me on this version "save as"/"save image as" always save on default download location. It never shows the save as dialog.
-
Aside the nasty extensions regression showing in the address bar (all of them without a selection to hide, even in the extension bar section) I observe that the Speed dial tiles went back to plain "edgy" parallelograms. A true disaster!

confirmed, fixing one problem had it transfered to the save as context menu options which previously worked.

@ian-coog: Then you should stay away from Snapshots and stick to stable releases.
-
@olli Don't lecture me on what I should do or not. I'm always on snapshots since 1.0 3 years ago because I like to follow the developments and report the bugs whenever I can, but I know (I'm a SW dev myself) when a broken release shouldn't be presented to clients.
-
@ian-coog: But you are free to lecture them on when they should release snapshots or not?
The sole purpose of snapshots is to test out builds, and find bugs. -

@Gwen-Dragon Would be great to have an option to choose where to show the extensions icons - either in adress field or at the old place
Nope, the address field icons are reserved for page action extensions in opposition to browser action extensions. Page action extensions should only be visible/aktive if the page action is possible.
-
@ian-coog: What are you talking about? If you don't want to face any bugs then the Stable release is recommended for you. The snapshots are for advanced users for exactly what we're doing here: chasing bugs to release a better version to their final users! If you see a bug, then report it to the dev team gently instead of blame them.
-
@nutcracker didn't notice any difference but I have mine edgy anyway (corner rounding disabled) because it fits perfectly with my flat OS (Windows 10). Maybe it reset your corner rounding setting? Can't you edit it back? Also you can hide the extension bar using the 3 dots to the right.
-
@iAN-CooG Your tone is actually more broken than any snapshot since 1.0 has been so far... bad day today? or anger issues?
-
When we fix extension icons, can we now make them fully hideable too, without sending them to a three-dot menu?
-
Thanks for the new build. Besides the rather annoying already reported replication of the extensions on the Address Bar, I can no longer
move the extension icons andchange their order, they revert to the default order after a restart.
As a temporary "fix" for the extensions, I have enabled the toggle and hidden them. I'm somewhat OK with them in the Address Bar, as long as we get to hide them in either location. -

"If you want to face fewer"
-
@luetage: The fact that "older" bugs (like waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back in the 2.3 era) are no longer considered regressions is not that much of a laughing matter. lol.

You must be joking, take 2.4 stable for example, the first 2.5 snapshot released the day after (or even the same day, I can't remember clearly) took care of the bugs that sneaked in the 2.4 release, meaning that 1 day more delay could have granted a better (with less bugs) 2.4 stable.
Usually every new snapshot is way better than this, I'm just disappointed such visible defect didn't stop devs to show it publicly, a week more of waiting for internal tests and refinements is better than having to face more bugreports. -

yes, I feel like a very disappointed father, I know my guys at Vivaldi are better than this

Edit
Extension popups are still broken. How has this not been fixed yet?I can confirm that behavior. I think it is probably because the last clicked popup never unloads until a new button is clicked.
