super first again great
-
So many updates this week...as Vivaldi team is very busy again, great
-
With the address bar at the bottom and the tab bar disabled, there is a small white line underneath the address bar. I've made a screenshot, but it's harder to see there than on my actual devices. I've tested it with my Galaxy S10+ and Xiaomi Mi 9. Both devices have Swipe/Full Screen gestures enabled.
I will also file a bug report.
EDIT: Here's the bug number: VAB-2219

@stardepp: You are on a roll today my friend!
-
@stardepp: Thanks!

@hellbillydeluxe: same issue. even a lot easier to see when using dark mode. Can't upload an image here for what ever reason.

@termel Edit your post in the forum thread..
-
Appearantly the Lichess bug (where Vivaldi couldn't load the analysis board) is gone? That's great news! I'm curious though, what happened there? What caused the bug? Or was it on Lichess' side?
-
And also the square with tab count is kinda big (compared to square with "+" for example).
-
@0x49D1 Exactly, it’s where the loading bar/strip is, but no idea whether it has any relation.

Finally, very good news, Vivaldi is now bearable to use with the bottom address bar. There's space for refinements but I'm happy with the progress and confident that Vivaldi team won't disappoint with the future releases. It only gets better. Thanks!
It seems that with the address bar set to bottom and the tab bar disabled, it's still there but hidden (is it that fine line reported above?), because I keep hitting it and accidentally switching tabs or closing them if I happen to touch where the tab/close button is supposed to be.
Even when editing a text field the fine line is there below the address bar and above the keyboard, I can also hit it and it causes a tab switch or close. If I'm editing a long text or reading something on the page while composing and scroll back and forth I can also hit the "hidden" tab bar by mistake.It isn't extremely easy but you can aim it and reproduce the issue. Activating to show touches in Android's developer options might help.
I just reported as VAB-2224.

@Zerael The bug was fixed even several versions before this was on Vivaldi's side as they mentioned. But can't remember the source..
-
@luetage because of such design issues Vivaldi always seems like a beta version. It's great browser, but can't suggest it to anyone, but geeks for now.
-
@rluik OMG I discovered the easiest steps to reproduce... Open some tabs, scroll the page up, keeping your finger on the screen until the very bottom of the UI, you'll be able to easily switch tabs. As I said can also reproduce with the keyboard opened.
Almost some kind of hidden power user gestures.

This is ,all what I want ,thank you vivald team

I reported that on one of the release candidates (VAB-2195, thread here), and mentioned it in the next RC thread after that. I'm surprised they did not fix it as it's a very noticeable and extremely annoying bug (especially when you have the on-screen keyboard open and try to scroll the tiny view you have to the webpage above it, like you say).

Is it possible to have more insight on the page blocking feature ? various filters etc ? Is there a forum section where users are actually sharing private blocking lists ?

@0x49d1: That line is dark on my device, however I suspect this to be a Chromium thing, since Brave also have this
