@juanvase said in Tweaks and improvements – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 2305.3:
- when did you come to know about new -current build?
-current is the development branch and works somewhat like a rolling release distro. I have used it as my main distro in the past but not since Slackware 14.2 stable was released. So I just use it on an off in a VM to see how things are progressing or to test against Vivaldi.
I might upgrade my main work machine now though, since they are getting close to release.
- were you a tester before april/may ?
Yes
- If yes, you added some of your commits or scripts or knowledge even a bit ( you work on Linux every snapshot)
I have given very little feedback for the Slackware 15 release cycle, which feels as long as I ever remember it. I made some comments here and there that Patrick Volkerding (the Slackware maintainer) picked up very early on after the 14.2 release. You can therefore find a couple of references to me in the changelog as he is very good at giving credit for even minor things:
$ curl -s ftp://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/slackware/slackware-current/ChangeLog.txt | grep ruari explodepkg: support parallel bzip2 (lbzip2). Thanks to ruario. installpkg: support parallel bzip2 (lbzip2). Thanks to ruario. makepkg: support parallel bzip2 (lbzip2). Thanks to ruario. Use tar-1.30. Thanks to gnashley and ruario for the help
- Or will you help now (even if a little)
I am not sure if I will have time for much feedback for 15. I used to pretty active on the Slackware forums but haven't been for a couple of years now. In my free time I mainly post to a unicycle forums these days.

@juanvase I went back and looked and the image is from seven years ago and appeared on the Opera blog.
https://blogs.opera.com/desktop/2015/02/centered-images-opera-developer-29-0-1781-0/
There is a little hidden joke in the image on the original blog post (missing from yours). I see this joke still works. Can anyone work out what it is?
EDIT: Ha… it seems my author name has been removed from all the blog posts I wrote on the Opera Desktop team blog and AFAICT my comments. It is like I never existed before Vivaldi!

Well it's either:
Gene Dante with their smash hit "Girl On a Unicycle", which is really fitting for the image:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFi9P2QfLEIOr a reference to this weirdo:
AKA Gene the Can Man -
@pathduck Try typing the URL

So the joke image laster longer than Opera's ability to maintain a list of who authored the blog post.
-
It's Ruarí "Bighetti"!
-
@pesala: appreciated. So it wasn't just something that'd require me to clear my profile (and I don't do it on principle...). Thank you.

Oh and I just noticed this one:
[Bookmarks][Settings] Auto-add bookmark cannot be disabled (VB-79203)
Took me a while to understand what it actually meant, but turns out this solves my biggest gripe with the new bookmarking dialog

I still don't get it. What does it do? And how can I disable auto-adding bookmark after pressing "Add bookmark" button?
-
@guigirl It just avoids the extra press of
Ctrl+D
if you want to edit the bookmark after creation. If you use the mouse it won't make much difference as the dialog pops up anyway. -
@gregor Unfortunately, this won't disable auto-adding of bookmarks... it just makes sure the dialog pops up when using the keyboard hotkey, which is an improvement.
Sometimes I like to just copy the page title, not actually save a bookmark. I now have to copy the title, then press
Shift+Tab, Enter
to remove the saved bookmark. I'd be much happier with a standard behaviour of usingCtrl+D
, editing the bookmark, then pressing ESC to cancel or Enter to save.But some users wanted auto-bookmarking to save them precious mousey clicks... instead they should just learn to use the keyboard and avoid RSI
And after a while I end up with a bunch of deleted bookmarks in the trash...
-
After installing this snapshot I have two new issues:
-
First the search bar is completely gone, and I can't find any way to make it appear next to the adress bar again.
-
Secondly, the text in the title bar (when not using native window) is much further down and thus is cut in half since it wont fit.

@davikar Settings, Search, Show in Address Bar.
Are your tabs on the side or the bottom?
-
@pesala Yes, I've toggled that setting on and off and it makes no difference.
My tabs are on the right side.
-
@davikar Move your CSS mods to a safe place, and restart the browser.
-
@davikar I can confirm the issue with the Page Title being partly obscured by the URL Bar, when Tab Bar is hidden. Win10 x64.
Please read:
carefully and report the bug to Vivaldi bugtracker
-
@pesala I have no css mods...
Edit: Ehh... I guess it was one of my extensions doing something. I disabled them all and now both my search bar and titlebar looks normal. Idk if anyone of them updated recently or this update causes compatibility issues.
Edit2: I'm not entirely sure what was happening, but I turned my Night Eye and Blending scrollbar extensions on and off a few times and now suddenly everything looks normal with all of them enabled.... Not sure if there even was an issue or if it was just a temporary glitch. -
@davikar It's not one of the extensions. I tested in a clean profile. Hiding the Tab Bar causes the Title to be partly obscured and the Search Field to be hidden.
Good find, a clear regression, please report as a bug.
-
@pathduck I think the update might've messed something up temporarily, but toggling extensions on and off a few times seems to have solved the problem for me.Oookay, never mind. Sorry for all this going back and forth stuff. But it seems that it did in fact not solve the problem at all. The problem got "solved" when I changed the setting to start up with the last session instead of the start page.
With last session on = no problem. With starting from the start page = the problem exists. -
@davikar When finding issues in Snapshots, always try to reproduce the issue in a clean profile to save time for others when reproducing it. Otherwise we'll need to guess what settings you've changed.
Use a Standalone install of Vivaldi Snapshot for testing and don't change any settings except those needed for reproducing.
