oh good news, let's see how it goes.
[Address bar][Search field] Can’t use arrow keys to select suggestions when Num Lock is on (VB-52978)
omg finally, and it also respects key autorepeat so I don't have to press down/up multiple times
[Media][Windows][Regression] Directly loaded .mp4 files can fail to play if a streamed video is not already loaded in that session (VB-67543)
tested on 3 problematic MP4 videos during previous SS, now play correctly
-
Bug fixes! Oodles of bug fixes!
Very happy to see the Win video issue fixed. But like many others I think that the VB-52978 fix is the winner! Well done to the team for (finally) fixing this one

Pardon?
I'm also on Arch with Intel integrated GPU, & Snapshots are ok for me [mind you, i am still only on 3.1.1921.3 atm, will update soon].
EDIT:
I have just done the update, & my new Snapshot continues to be fine re everything i've tried so far, including videos & thumbnails. -
When navigating to the Notes Manager from the Speed Dial (or other internal pages) the Start Page Navigation disappears while 'Show on Internal Pages' is selected. Is this expected behaviour or should I report it?
-
Thanks for VB-52978, at last.
By the way, while you are working on the notes now, can you please consider this suggestion?

Native notifications in Windows 10's Action Center are still broken, only getting Chrome-typer notifications. In 3.0.1874.27 notifications work fine, something broke them afterwards.
-
I don't know if this is worth opening a new topic for, so I thought I'd try it here first:
Since the most recent stable release (as well as in the snapshots) Vivaldi crashes when tiling PDFs. Problem is, I can't reliably reproduce it. After trying to diagnose the cause for a while, the crashes just ... stop occurring. Then when I restart Vivaldi it happens again.
So, can anyone help me?
-
@Gwen-Dragon That's just not true Gwen, I'm on a snapshot and they work fine, I've mentioned it in the post together with the build number I am using.
Snapshots had working native notifications for ages. It's only recently that they have been broken, this is the 2nd time.
Would love to have that behavior back because it would allow me to test the snapshots again. The Chrome notifications are simply bad (useless almost, since they disappear by themselves). -
I have tested this snapshot, and the following bug was also fixed
VB-66410: Going fullscreen in one window hides the sidebar of every other windowHowever, I found a new bug
VB-68028: Text input's caret gets moved to top on Notes page -
@Gwen-Dragon Wasn’t the problem that Vivaldi (Chromium) needs to be in the
Program Files
(x86
)? -
@gabevilela Read known issues.

I've skipped a couple of snapshots, so I don't know if anyone has already discussed this, but I noticed after installing this snapshot that there is no longer any blank space above the tabs. I like to click in this space to focus the window (I have so many tabs open there's very little empty space at the top of the window), and in this snapshot when I do it I end up switching tabs every time.Never mind, I found the "Remove Tab Spacing in Maximized Windows" option...

@GT500 It's a good idea to read the changelog if you participate in Snapshot testing: What’s in a term: Snapshot vs Stable

Now, it's time to add volume controls and full screen button
Have you search in the FT if they have already been request?

The full screen note editor seems to have a height bug.
I guess is already known...@potmeklecbohdan

Should be VB-59741 [Regression] Notifications are not native on standalone|current user installations.
I fear is considered more as "missing feature" than a bug.
