Address bar fixes – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 1581.5
-
It seems that something has changed regarding searches. Before, I could paste one or more search terms and if they were not resembling an address (i.e. containing at least one space), that'd get redirected to a search with the default search engine. Now, if I do this, Vivaldi tries to replace the whole thing with an address. Example - pasting
Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0xC0000005: Windows 10 Insider Preview 18922.1000 (rs_prerelease).
and hitting Enter results in the whole thing getting replaced withhttp://installation/%20Failure:%20Windows%20failed%20to%20install%20the%20following%20update%20with%20error%200xC0000005:%20Windows%2010%20Insider%20Preview%2018922.1000%20(rs_prerelease).
Seems like the "%20"s are not rendered in the address field, but are there the whole time (evident if you copy-paste something like this from the address field).modedit fixed format

@gwen-dragon: Thanks for confirming. It's still more convenient to have the old behaviour as well, although the bug only seems to appear if there's a dot in the query.

@sakuraayumi: It happened again today, after I had everything re-assigned a couple of days earlier. I joined the forum you suggested and commented on the subject. It is most certainly a strange and serious bug that has passed unattended by the devs. It is NOT related to syncing since I'm logged out. It happened to me for the first time after updating to version 1566.6. I don't know if that helps but today it happened right after I added a new tile and assigned a new thumbnail. I closed the browser and when re-started it ... everything gone. I suspect that, somehow, it happens when changing something in the speed-dial (reorganizing or adding). Since I work with speed-dial and not with the bookmarks bar, it is a true nightmare and the worse thing that could happen to me - it disorganizes everything and adds a load of useless work to correct it. I hope somebody from the devs will give the necessary attention, because it is really frustrating!

Is there a setting that controls whether or not a new Vivaldi window would open if one doesn't exist on the current virtual desktop (Windows 10)? Previously, if there isn't [a Vivaldi window on the current VD], a new one would be opened; now, it switches me to the last window even if it's on another VD. I believe this is a change from the last 2-3 snapshots.

I've been having an issue with the address bar drop down menu in the latest snapshot versions including this current version. See how the bottoms of each line are truncated? Looks like the results are closer together which causes the crashing. I'm guessing this issue started with Snapshot 1566.6 with the address bar modifications but it's still present in the latest version:
This is with Snapshot version Vivaldi2.6.1554.13.x64 which looks good. Didn't have this problem here even though I've been using the same size address bar text size via custom.css:

I don't think that discussion is regarding this particular address bar issue. I just so happen to post there by accident.

with a focus on the address bar.
Funny, my address bar isn't working.
When I start it works, but after some time it just stops. I press enter to enter a site and nothing happens.
