@ruario First! for the first time!
-
@ornorm: Oh that was quick
-
Thanks for the fixes, especially the hang for find-in-page - it does seem fixed now
-
Awesome

@gwen-dragon: Nah I´m just getting old :-p

Unfortunately I still have got some whitespace-related issues in the address bar which were introduced like 2 snapshots ago.
Spaces in urls won't get encoded correctly to %20 and vice versa when copy and pasting from the address bar.
Let me give you an example:
When I enter the following address and open the websitehttp://example.com/foo%20bar
and then copy it to the clipboard it ends up like this
http://example.com/foo bar
Then when I copy this url to the address bar again and press enter a search for this url gets triggered.
This issue occurs on macOS 10.14.6 and Windows 10 x64
If you need further details let me know. Thanks in advance!

@gwen-dragon:
Nice, thanks for the tip This setting must be new since it worked out of the box before...Unfortunately when I type an address with spaces the search still gets triggered. I am not sure whether this is intended behaviour and I can live with this for the moment. Thanks again!
-
@gwen-dragon: I never noticed that setting either. What's an example of a URL where "Copy and cut encoded address" would matter?

Yes, same here. For instance:
g test search
https://www.google.com/search?q=test search
Edit this to:
https://www.google.com/search?q=test search2
https://www.ecosia.org/search?tt=vivaldi&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2Fsearch%3Fq%3Dtest search2
Bit of an edge case I admit :face_with_stuck-out_tongue: but I find it often easier to just focus address field to edit search arguments than to click in the page field. But because of the logic "space in URI == Search query", this now leads to default search engine.
In Firefox and Opera the logic is saner, because it adds a '+' instead of space:
https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=test+search
https://www.google.com/search?client=opera&q=test+search
Actually, I think Vivaldi may be breaking the spec by not encoding a '+' for spaces in a URI.

Thanks for the new build and especially for the find-in-page fix
However I just encountered a regression in the history of the address bar (when clicking the small down-arrow at the far right of the address bar): in this build it's impossible to delete previous entries by clicking on the 'x'. This used to work up to the previous snapshot...
-
@knoelli Confirmed
-
[Regression] Zoom widget in status bar lags when zooming with mouse wheel: further fix (VB-56359)
Ctrl-wheel works now as expected.
-
@knoelli I can confirm aswell
-
@olli Hey! I am still here doing fantastic jobs. Thank you

I guess I'm the only one who can't confirm this. Items which appear in the "Typed" section in the drop-down in the address bar do delete by clicking the 'X' on Win10 with this build. Are we talking about the same thing? If so, there must be a variable.
-
No, you are not. I can confirm.
-
@lamarca Then what is the difference between the two?
Update: Oh, I see what he's doing now: I was in the dropdown area but in a different way.
-
No typed URL can not be deleted. It's "greyed out". According to a dev (long time ago) that part of the UI might be being used for something they are testing .
for something they are testing.Edited: grammar
-
@rseiler: When starting to type in the address bar, a dropdown with "Typed" items followed by "Bookmarks" items is shown. From this list I can delete items with the "x" at the far right side of the list. What I was referring to is the dropdown list that is shown when clicking on the little down-arrow to the right of the address bar (without typing anything), that list is causing the regression I encountered.
