@Steffie Can't say about how Linux performs nor about the Chromium itself. Try using dark theme/dark wallpapers with the rest of them and open new SD/startpage tabs then watch the flashbangs (or the other things described, like fade-ins, depending on the specific browser) happening on Windows 10.

@Pesala Not exactly. The context menu in folders are distinctively different from everywhere else in the browser; they take far more space and use a different font.
I didn't respond when you first mentioned it, but I did check way back then and all of my installs (on Win10 and Lubuntu) look exactly the same in the bookmarks bar and in the panel... And they still do.
I think you may have some local issue with theme or something.

Cloned bookmarks again and now cloned extension icons. Clone Wars.
May the Vivaldi be with you
And Vivaldi asked me when click ''saved as'' but now not...
I was looking at the bookmarks context menu thing and suddenly noticed...
The default Vivaldi bookmark folders have reappeared again (this lunchtime) - like a disgusting mould that just won't die!
Aarrggghhh!!!
A couple of weeks ago I had to spend two or three hours getting rid of them, which really wasn't easy(*), so this is very very annoying.
(*) Finally was able to do it as follows:
- bring all laptops etc. to one location, start all installs of Vivaldi
- disconnect sync from all of them except for "the main Vivaldi install" on "the main PC"
- delete all the Vivaldi bookmark folders (Business, Entertainment, etc.) on all installs on all PCs
- shut down all Vivaldi installs (seemed necessary to permanently kill the deleted bookmarks)
- open the main install again, make sure the bookmarks are gone, tell it to wipe sync data, reconnect
- start up each Vivaldi install and reconnect (I waited a few minutes each time, watching for changes to finish in vivaldi://sync-internals)
tip: I found it easy to delete the bad bookmark folders by moving the cursor and watching the date in the status - the bad ones are all created recently (right now, mine are all dated 1 May 2019) so can just click down, delete, down, down, delete, etc.)

The context menu is not affected by Vivaldi’s theme though, but based on what you said and what @Pesala showed me, I think this might be a problem with macOS only. I’ll still try it on a different machine.
It’s also worth nothing that the context menu that appears in folders for the bookmark bar look exactly like the context menu from Chrome.
-
@AltCode Vivaldi is now (I think reluctantly) using Chromium to display the bookmark folder contents because the native menus (on macOS) are not right-clickable. So, right now, we have a weird mix where the Bookmark Bar itself is rendered like other parts of the WebUI, secondary (right) click on a folder displays a context menu that is rendered with native widgets, and (left) click produces a menu that's rendered by the underlying Chromium code.

No regressions are good but I just wanted to point out a few things. First, note the build number of this Snapshot: 1525.30; that means that they took the 1525 branch as a base (1525.4 was released recently) and they applied subsequent fixes that they want to include in the next Stable version. Normally, this is not a problem but occasionally things can break. This is a Snapshot build, and it got released to us Snapshot testers so that we can catch bugs like this before they appear in Stable releases.
Also, anytime that you backport a fix, even seemingly small/minor changes, there's always a risk of introducing regressions. That's why Stable updates contain only the most critical of fixes and fixes with a very low risk of introducing regressions.
-
@pathduck: The answer is almost certainly "no one". It's just a regression that will hopefully be fixed soon.
-
@Gwen-Dragon you don't need to be a smartass, we are talking about the visible extensions problem that YOU have noticed for first. Not about the thousands of other hidden bugs. Every program has its problem, but such evident defect should have stopped them from showing it to public, it's not that it needs to be discovered by accident by users doing unusual stuff.
-
@Gwen-Dragon I think that the Vivaldi team should be complemented for their track record of producing exceptionally solid Snapshot builds. Many people forget that these are test builds and that they should expect the unexpected.
-
@xyzzy so, if by chance, they release a completely not working snapshot, or even if it destroys your data, you wouldn't be at least disappointed? come on
-
@ian-coog: Thanks for clearly reporting these symptoms, it saved me a lot of time!
-
@Gwen-Dragon I am not even angry, I only pointed out that it should have not been presented to public if some test was done before. You are not even seeing me, but if you prefer I'll put a smile in here, there
-
@Gwen-Dragon yes I did, and different times over the years because it's one of the many things constantly geting fixed and broken again over the releases. It's even getting boring reporting the same issues over time, but I can resend some reports, I should have them in the sent mail folder
-
@archive1 Next restart or even next window opened will have pageAction duplicates again.
Hopefully, this will mean support for
chrome.pageAction
(I couldn't see any of those for a while in vivaldi).
But yeah, duplicates of buttons that 24 extension puts up there is not really great. -
The
"save as"
is not working here, in my case I tried with image I do not know if it proceeds to other files. -
@Gwen-Dragon done
Summary: Search field bugs
Key: VB-52599
Summary: Address field dropdown bugs
Key: VB-52601
it was almost the same report as
Summary: Address bar history dropdown and Search bar history dropdown don't react on Shift-del; Mouse over on "X" doesn't move highlight
Key: VB-52514
and while at it I did also this
Summary: Save link as/Save image as always save to default dir
Key: VB-52602 -
Bug report follow-up.....see https://forum.vivaldi.net/post/288497
VB-52492 Deleted bookmarks return only on installs with default status possible.
Stable install and one Standalone see the return of the deleted bookmarks.
One standalone does not. This one cannot have default browser status.If this is in the wrong place please move it. But it is related to the release of snapshots. Directly related.

I've been here since the start, so i have at least some understanding of how it works. I've always been an ardent fan of V, & remain so. That does not however disqualify one from offering constructive criticism on occasion, & IMO this current SS is one. Is there not a stage pre-SS, wherein the Sopranos get, see & use the candidate? All it would/should have needed was a single Soprano [who uses Extensions] to fire up this candidate, & BANG the new unprecedented bug would have whacked them in the face, which could have instantly been fed back to the Devs for restitution... & then proceed again.
