Windows get messed up too frequently
-
Heya! I have an issue with Vivaldi on my MacBook Pro. The setup is a MacBook Pro 13" 2017 and has 2 HP z22 displays connected to it.
First issue is the window height is reduced to a tiny height.
Second issue is everything inside the window "moves up" which also has a side effect of anything you click is offset and doesn't target the element you actually want to.
Windows minimised to a preposterous size:
Window content now offset:

I guess these are bugs? The only solution is to restart Vivaldi.
Cheers
Edit:
This happens when I disconnect my laptop from my 2 displays and resuming from sleep.

@aashish108 Vivaldi still has some known issues that occur in multi-monitor setups. I don't know if the developers can fix your issue themselves or if this is something that requires an upstream fix to a 3rd-party software component.

Dear aashish108 and Vivaldi
I am experiencing what is described here and much more.
I have a 2018 MacBook Pro running Catalina 10.15.3. I'm running two DELL U2715H 27" 2560x1440 displays in addition to the laptop's display. One monitor is directly connected using a USB-C to HDMI cable, and the other is USB-C to a multi-function hub that has an HDMI port.
I'm currently running Vivaldi as follows:
Version: 2.11.1811.44 Obtained from: Identified Developer Last Modified: 2/26/20, 2:39 AM Signed by: Developer ID Application: Vivaldi Technologies AS (4XF3XNRN6Y), Developer ID Certification Authority, Apple Root CA Location: /Applications/Vivaldi.app Kind: 64-bit Get Info String: Vivaldi 2.11.1811.44, Copyright 2020 Vivaldi Technologies AS.

I have had no problem with strange window proportions until I upgraded to the version of Vivaldi which introduced pop-out (picture-in-picture) video. As soon as I saw that feature, I upgraded and gave it a spin (as an aside, I think it's nice!).
However, immediately that day, upon waking my system from sleep, one of my Vivaldi windows was similar to what aashish108 has described. It was a horizontal sliver of itself, perhaps only a centimeter tall. I could click it and resize it back to normal.
From that time on, I have had the following issues:
- Vivaldi windows in the dock come out and are either a horizontal sliver or vertical sliver.
- Vivaldi windows that were open, after the system goes to sleep and wakes back up are either a horizontal sliver or vertical sliver.
- I have cases were a Vivaldi window that is a vertical is only a few pixels wide. I almost cannot see it.
- I have cases where I click on a Vivaldi window in the dock and it animates to a particular display but does not appear. I can't help but wonder if it is 0 pixels wide. I can never find it.
- Interestingly, I have now multiple instances where a minimized Vivaldi window in the dock animates out but I cannot see it. At the same time, Vivaldi seems to immediately start struggling to run properly. Going to other Vivaldi windows and doing almost anything, such as resizing, clicking a link, clicking or tabbing through an entry form, etc. results in a spinning pinwheel (aka beachball) for several seconds before the action is taken. This grows gradually worse and I have to restart Vivaldi eventually.
Please note that no other window in any other application (terminal windows, emacs, slack, Mail, VNC, Zoom, Preview, Firefox, Chrome, etc.) exhibit any of these behaviors. It is only Vivaldi, and it is only since the release that introduced pop-out video.
Unfortunately, I use Vivaldi very heavily for everything, and working at a start-up means massive hours and the need for really reliable applications. I'm trying to live with Vivaldi in the hopes that a quick update will be pushed out that fixes this. However, if that isn't the case, then I may have to give up on Vivaldi and move on.
I realize it is quite difficult to do complex development and have sufficient QA to cover thorough regression and new feature testing on many platforms with various OS versions, etc. We have that difficulty to the n-th degree where I work. It is easy for me to understanding the trials and strain on resources. However, I do note that it seems like the last 18 months or so have seen a notable rise in regressions and significant bugs in the larger releases which then end up having to be addressed in a point release. Way, way back, I don't recall this kind of pattern with Opera (which is where I came to appreciate these developers so much).
I'm hoping that you can get to the bottom of this quickly, and also figure out how to get better coverage prior to release to minimize atrocities and significant regressions.
I've pointed quite a number of people to Vivaldi, but here is another case where I feel embarrassed because one of them comes to me frustrated and asking if Vivaldi is working for me. In the past I've been able to provide a bit of relief until an update fixes a regression or bug. But this time I have no relief, and soon may reluctantly need to look elsewhere.
But hopefully not!
Blessings,

@aashish108 said in Windows get messed up too frequently:

This has just happened to me.

Another example of a strange window behavior: When I click on the full-screen button (green one), the Vivaldi window sometimes freezes there. The titlebar isn't grabbable any more. The "View" menu includes "Enter Full Screen" not "Exit Full Screen".
Sometimes, leaving the Vivaldi window and doing something else and coming back to Vivaldi resolves this problem, but sometimes not.
Reported as VB-64632 .

Yet another strange window behavior:
- Quite often, you can't get out of the fullscreen mode. The green button doesn't work. The "View" menu shows "Enter Full Screen". It does nothing.
- When that happens, the bookmarks bar isn't visible. (I'm not sure if this is always the case.) The "View" menu shows "Show Bookmarks Bar" but it does nothing.
All you can do is to invoke the Mission Control and bring the Vivaldi window out of the full screen mode. After that, the Vivaldi window behaves normally even in the fullscreen mode.
I haven't been able to see the pattern as to when this happens.
