Tooltips for links and tabs disappear almost immediately, but only some of them (!?)
-
When I hover over e.g. a youtube video title to read what it says, 50% of the time the tooltip with the full title will blink in and out of existence instead of the normal behaviour of staying there until you move the mouse cursor away.
This also affects hovering over tab titles, bookmarks and probably any other text tooltip in any website/vivaldi menu.
This is "sticky" to certain tabs/links/items i.e. for a specific link it either always works or always doesn't, it doesn't help to mouse away and back onto it (which is really annoying)Thanks

@MiauFrito I don't see this. Can you tell us anything more about your installation, your extensions, and your hardware environment?
-
@Ayespy I just today installed the latest version
I have uBlock Origin, BetterTTV, Ghostery (and ViolentMonkey but no scripts are currently active)
I'm using Windows 7 on an i7 4770K, Vega 56 and 16GB RAM -
@MiauFrito I don't see anything obvious in your list. I just can't make it happen here. Have you tried to see if it happens in a private window?
-
OOH, I just found something:
The tooltips don't disappear, they're being shown on the desktop, behindthe currentALL windows instead of on top of all windows.(I only found this out because I happened to have a non-maximized browser window and happened to hover over a link right on the edge of the webpage)
-
@MiauFrito Aha. That is, indeed, curious.
-
@MiauFrito Still can't make it happen with two windows. Do you have an example of a page where this happens?
-
@Ayespy Any Youtube page for example.
Also, yeah I have multiple windows open. -
It seems to be a draw order problem (drawing the tooltip before the windows).
Could it be related to having Aero turned off on my computer?Nothing like this ever happened before this update... but I hadn't updated Vivaldi since version 2.1 or so, so this might have been around for a while
-
@MiauFrito So with three windows, all of the YouTube titles show durable tooltips.
-
@techguy88 Yes, looks like the same problem
@Ayespy
More info:
I use Redshift (changes screen colors at night) and have a custom windows Theme -
@Gwen-Dragon ok, I have now reported it
-
A couple of things. I've seen similar behavior, never with Vivaldi though, where tooltips would either be drawn behind other windows, or be stuck above all windows (even when in fullscreen mode for video playback). I would have to go hunting for whatever app drew the tooltip and get it to draw a new one to make the old one disappear. The issue ended up being related to video drivers, so you might want to see if you're on the latest, and uninstall/reinstall if so.
And about your extensions. If you run uBlock Origin correctly then there is no need for Ghostery - in fact using it in addition is only making you easier to track bids other means. If you want additional protection, give uMatrix a look - it is designed to compliment UBO, but it OS definitely for advanced users and takes some effort on the part of the user to get it fully configured for their needs.
@techguy88 Why the scavenger hunt? Is there some reason you couldn't just share the information directly here?

@techguy88 said in [BUG] Tooltips for links and tabs disappear almost immediately, but only some of them (!?):
In answer to @MiauFrito I did not supply the direct link to the flag because I was not the original person supplying the details of the flag and did not want to supply the link myself because I have no idea about the inner workings of Chromium, and I have no idea of any side effects (however minimal) of using it. Hence my request that you find it yourself !That is my logic. Anyways the moderator has now posted it here.
Cool, I had actually thought there might have been something preventing you from doing so... some policy on the other forum or whatever. Just FYI, Opera on Android is using Chromium as well. I believe they are on 74 while Vivaldi is on 76, but I don't have Opera installed so I cannot verify beyond what's on its page.

Setting that flag to disabled worked for me - thank you!
Question, though - at some point when the bug gets fixed, how important is it to remember to reset the flag?
-
Does anyone know? Whether it's important to reset the flag or not? Thanks.

It's not important. Flags come and go in Chromium. But you can try once in a while, see how it goes, doesn't take too long to test
-
With the latest snapshot 2.9.1699.4 tooltips are stable again so the flag might be irrelevant now

I wasn't asking because it takes long, just because I have no idea if a manually-changed flag setting could ever cause a problem. I gather it won't - that's good to know.
