Clicking on new feed item changes focus randomly
-
I have a bunch of RSS subscriptions to comics strips and I hadn't viewed them in a long time. Aside from the issue of not figuring out if or how the feeds can be shown by subscription rather than by date, I am somewhat frustrated that when I click on an unread (un-clicked, un-visited -- not "marked as read") item, it loads and displays the comic in the view pane, but THEN focus moves away, up or down to an item in the list. Sure, I can simply click again (the mouse doesn't move) but why in Hades does it do that, and can it be stopped?
Oh yeah, I'm on 4.0.2312.24 (Stable channel) stable (64-bit) on MX Linux.

I can confirm this behavior. I've verified it to happen when two or more messages have the same date. It jumps to the next message with a different date, looses focus (such that if I was pressing Del, Del, Del to delete the messages as I went, it'll stop working and I have to click the message list to continue).

@durhammer said in Clicking on new feed item changes focus randomly:
can it be stopped?
Apparently this is reproducible, so please write a bug report, that's how it can be stopped

I reported Vb-747540 more than 6 months ago where I've been adding more information as I find it (including a video illustrating the behavior). Still waiting for it to be fixed...

@wildente Well, not anymore, it seems. Between reporting this issue and today, my MX Linux package maintainer pushed me to Vivaldi 4.0.2312.25 (Stable channel) stable (64-bit), and now I don't see the issue happening. Wonder what revision Paulo is on?
-
@pauloaguia Paulo, what revision/level of Vivaldi are you using? My Linux package maintainer just upped me to 4.0.2312.25 (Stable channel) stable (64-bit) and I don't see the issue anymore.
(And wow, just checked, and looks like another Vivaldi update is pending -- 4.0.2312.27 ....)

I also got an upgrade and the notifications for these two last messages that arrived in the same minute didn't trigger the bug. I'll have to wait a day or two to have more messages for a proper test, but it's looking good at last

I've just had this problem again... Currently at version 4.1.2325.1 (Sopranos build).
I was happily deleting through my mail be having the topmost selected and pressing the Del key. Suddenly the main panel changed to "No mail selected", all the toolbar buttons (above the messages list) got disabled and I had to manually click back on another message to continue...
When I looked at the message list, sure enough, the top two had arrived at the same time, at 10:00This time there was no focus jumping around, but that didn't happen every single time in the previous versions either.

@pauloaguia And, sure enough, I just got another selection jump (which gets annoying sometimes, because I click on the message I want it to be at after the jump, but it still jumps another time again).
