Open a link outside Vivaldi not opening if a browser window is not open
-
When I click on a link in my mac mail, I get a blank page or a page I was on previously, I must click that link 2-3x before it goes to the correct page. What is going on here & how to fix it?
-
@heather0 Yup! Known issue: Click link, click link again... It ain't a pretty work-around but it works.

Just dropping in to add another person experiencing this issue. Not a deal breaker for using Vivaldi, but just a silly nuisance that I wish would get corrected. Running Monterey and Vivaldi 5.
-
FYI, this is now (mostly) fixed in the 2669.3 Snapshot. No promises, but I am hopeful that we will see the fix for VB-85202 soon in a 5.2 Stable update along with a fix for a crash that many Mac users are seeing.
-
This issue seems fixed with the 5.3 update.
-
I am on version 5.5.2805.44 on macOS 13.0.1 and I can confirm that the problem persists, at least on my computer.
-
Can anyone reproduce the problem? So I can know if the problem is specific to my computer or if it happens to everyone.

@crisneda I am not running Ventura but I was the one who escalated this issue internally to get it fixed. I will try to find internal testers running Ventura and ask them to re-test the fix on their systems.
One thing to also keep in mind is that if Vivaldi is not running and you open a link from an external program, it will not open a link in a new tab. Instead, the browser will launch and it will look like the link did not open... because the link will have opened in a new window DIRECTLY behind the foreground window.

As a new Vivaldi user I can't believe this issue is being tolerated by the masses. The problem appears for me to be intermittent. Vivaldi will successfully display an externally open tab about 7 out of 10 times. The other times, the tab is not made active and I need to click on the V icon in the top left icon which then displays the hidden tab. I've read in this thread that it appears to be impacting Mac users, but I am running on Windows and I have the same problem on multiple machines.
Does anyone know when this will be fixed or if there is a workaround? -
I have this issue too. It's breaking the flow of any OS native app that tries to open an "Login with Google" window.
I can't believe this bug still hasn't been fixed. Gonna bounce if this isn't fixed soon, there are just so many other "little issues" that I'm starting to think this whole thing isn't worth it.
-
Yeah, this is the first little issue I have come across since I switched (back again) a few weeks ago that has annoyed me. I had to set the default browser back to Firefox just to work around this.
Oh, and the other "little" issue that is annoying is send to device does not send a tab from Android to Windows and vice versa
Please fix!
