Conclusive proof: V Devs are blatant hemisphericists! It's scandalous.

@JoshStrobl Seems some GPU drivers have trouble with Vivaldi or vice-versa.
I guess (as a test) starting as vivaldi --disable-gpu does not help?

surmising that you might be quite enjoying my abject misery

Never!!

It couldn't be as simple as a language/dictionary setting, could it????

So with the next snapshot we’re getting into the future? I’m really interested how it’s gonna look like… Was there a 2020.8 internal build?

Just a reminder, VB-70804 is still present. Ctrl-clicking the address while the field is focused behaves as if the cursor was one level deeper.

Not certain if this is related somehow.Whenever i return to my homepage the URL is highlighted blue.Not a world ending issue but thought i would inform the forum.
i have attached a screenshot.

This is an old bug/feature. Possible workarounds:

focus page content on new tab
define the homepage with http instead of https (or a similar change that causes redirection)

@Steffie I really do The view from here is really great, me feeling like Xerxes

Now, i know you were totally taking the piss here, but...

I was already doing some stuff at the time in my ArcoLinux Plasma VM anyway
Absolutely nothing else has worked so far
I enjoy the piss-taking too

...so i thought "why not?". This VM had never had V-SS installed before. I added herecura to /etc/pacman.conf in the usual way, Before installing it, i made these changes:

... then logged out & in. Then i installed V-SS with pacman, & still in Yakuake i ran:

[steffie@ArcoLinuxVM ~]$ vivaldi-snapshot

Well blow me down, butter me sideways, & call me toast.

It launched.

What the very wtf?

Clearly this was an uncontrolled experiment, so atm i suspect this was a fluke rather than causal. In a few ticks i shall launch one of my other VMs already with V-SS [failed], change the region & language, & then see what happens.

Update:
Still in ArcoLinux VM, i returned the Region to Straya, the language to Pommie, logged out/in, relaunched V-SS again from Yakuake... & the damn thing still launched ok. Ergo, whilst i'm damned if i know why it works in this one VM & no where else here, indicatively the Region setting seems non-causal.

More to come...

Pathduck

So - this is new I guess?

The setting in Experiments seems to be gone?

JoshStrobl

@gwen-dragon: That has no effect. I'll relay the backtrace reporting so the affected user can file a bug.

iPristy

@vort: Yeah, that's my point, it's there for what?

Why i can't post in Snapshot, on Windows i just have Snapshot, on Ubuntu i have both.

LonM

@Pathduck Yes, I think it was migrated and highlighted find in page results is now the default behaviour

Pathduck

@LonM Maybe, just strange there's no mention in the changelog is all. But it's fine. I guess the reason might be for some sites with "hidden" results this might help.

Another new thing that's already been mentioned:

I had a look at this and the class is UrlBar-UrlObfuscationWarning so it can be hidden in custom CSS. But again I assume this is a new Chromium thing they've not removed yet. Because in Vivaldi it shows whether URL obfuscation is enabled or not.

It really doesn't make sense - why would Chromium first hide parts of the domain name, and then warn users about it. Talk about confusing the poor user...

Nope - honestly!!
Once more Aussies reported similar problems, I just thought "there's a (new) straw to grab"!!

Still in ArcoLinux VM, i returned the Region to Straya, the language to Pommie, logged out/in, relaunched V-SS again from Yakuake... & the damn thing still launched ok. Ergo, whilst i'm damned if i know why it works in this one VM & no where else here, indicatively the Region setting seems non-causal.

UNLESS.... once installed successfully, all is good?

Steffie

@TbGbe Sit down, breathe steadily, apply mild force to the sides of your head to prevent hyper-inflation, coz...

You, good sir, are looking like a genius!!

Now on my Arch KDE VM, which has had V-SS for mega-yonks, but which has failed to launch it for the current & previous versions. I changed the Region & lingo to Full Pommie, logged out/in, attempted the launch from Yakuake [convinced it would fail], &...

It also launched!!

I see the calendar reference in the cli, so... i wonder...?

Just reverted the VM's Region to Straya, logged out/in... & V-SS still launches!

I cannot pretend i even begin to understand, but your other deduction;

also looks like it's on the money! OMZ.

Soooo, that means the time is nigh to try this majik out in my real pooters next...

Steffie

@Steffie
Posting this from Tower's 2nd-boot; SolydK. Applied Ye Olde Majik Trick, & voila -- Vivaldi 3.3.2020.3 / Chrome 85.0.4183.80. Next stop: another reboot, back into primary system Arch KDE, to do the deed there...

TbGbe

@Steffie

Sometimes it pays to ask stoopid questions

Steffie

@TbGbe Back in primary boot Arch now, all Majicked, &... Vivaldi 3.3.2020.3 / Chrome 85.0.4183.80.

I can't thank you enough!

I wonder what the Devs will make of this amazeballs discovery... & which poor widdle ol' fascist country they'll pick on next?

TbGbe

@Steffie Just wish everyone had stuck to "good ole" en-GB

isak

@ruarí:

npro

@Steffie LOL! You had the solution in front of you from the very beginning, gratz for trying that out, though I'm a bit sad that I can't enjoy more of it anymore
