Address bar fixes – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 1581.5

@ruario
Why break the standards set by other software developers just to confuse users?
Version 2.7 is clearly a new round of development after the release of 2.6 Stable.
Specs: AMD A10-6800K, 8 Gb on Windows 17763.557

@ruario: Sure. But it's still in the download name. And in all previous version, after a release, the next snapshot got an upgrade on those two numbers.
I know it's not important. But forgetting about it is not a big deal either -
@Aronand So could be considered a 2.65 build?
-
@ruario So in the file name and in Help > About will remain 2.6 until the release of the next Stable? It seems to me that you're only going to get confused.

There seems to be some inconsistency with typing in the addressbar. I haven't pinned it down yet.
But it seems like if you quickly type in an address and press Enter, then sometimes a bookmarked page will automatically be entered instead of the typed address, even though the addressbar shows the typed address when you press Enter.
It seems like it's related to typing and quickly hitting Enter.

@pesala: Yeah, it is pretty annoying that the default bookmarks seem to always come back (usually around version releases). This time though, I found a bunch of bookmarks that I've never seen before mixed within my own speed dial/bookmarks. Like jeez, can you guys stop being so invasive with the bookmark spam/advertising?
-
@dragonmastr Keeping your own folders lowercase and deleting everything starting with an uppercase is good practice.
-
When you search in the address field using a nickname (for instance "b vivaldi" without quotes) and press enter, the drop down disappears but it won't search. It works by selecting the search terms in the drop down though.
-
If I type an address in the address bar and press Enter nothing happens, is it just me or this is a bug?
-
If I enter amazon.de in the address bar, I am taken to https://www.amazon.com/ap/signin (which is in my bookmarks and speed dial). This occurred first with this snapshot.
-
It's VB-54699 now
-
@stevekong: weird… you entered the whole address (amazon.de) and it redirected? Or it just show the amazon.com without redirecting?
Anyway, does your address bar autocomplete work perfectly? I am still looking for some guys which have broken autocomplete ind the address bar, too… Some items are autocompleted as it should be… some simply does not autocomplete for some reason (happening with last 4 snapshots or so)
-
@saudiqbal No, I seem to have the same problem. I noticed late because I rarely input addresses in the bar directly and mostly search from the search field or quick commands. Hitting enter in the address bar seems to be completely broken, on macOS at least.

Well not really - as I pointed out last time (when you pointed me to your changelog): 2.5 to 2.6 was not much of a development as far as the user was concerned. I appreciate that there may have been some changes under the skin, but in terms of features or look and feel... almost the same. So 2.6 felt more like a bit of tidying around the edges than "clearly a new round of development".
Having said that, maybe we'll see a version jump in the snapshot prefix coincide with testing of a new feature this time...

I found that looking at the date in the panel was the clue... All the default Vivaldi ones will have the same date and time when they all got reinstalled (and it is newer than all your old bookmarks).
I could just use the cursor key down and delete button to scroll through and remove them all while keeping my eyes on the date the whole time. Was very quick (only a few seconds if you close all the bookmark folders first).
-
@mossman A new round of development occurs after every Stable release. It has nothing to do with how many new features are added in each cycle.
- Snapshots
- Release Candidates
- Stable Release
The release cycle is determined by the Chromium release cycle, which Vivaldi development follows.
-
@luetage I can confirm, it doesn't work me either, wether hitting enter or shift+enter.

ESC to Focus Page is gone now, that's a real shame. I used to have Focus Page mapped to F1 but sometime ago ESC would work for the same which is much more elegant, so I could remap F1 to Focus Panel.
Now I have to remap it again
And we can't remap ESC because it's already mapped to "Stop Loading", which of course makes sense, but also on a loaded page ESC in the address bar should bring focus back to page content.
-
@Pathduck There is nothing stopping you from mapping Escape to Focus page, and use some other shortcut (or none) for Stop Loading.

@hlehyaric @luetage No such problem here, though I am running on macOS Mojave.
