@treego: More Vivaldi… less Ruarí Ødegaard

Since version 5 the last tab in the tab row can't create a tab stack automatically when opening links from the tab.
If the tab is not the last one, it creates a stack like expected.

And a surprise Saturday update -
I was reminded that "[Address bar] Trash should contain more than 25 items (VB-74499)" was in a December build but that it's still limited to 25 like it was for almost all of Vivaldi's existence.
Note: I think it's the tab bar not the address bar. Maybe I'm completely misinterpreting what the apparent fix was though and we're not meant to see more than 25 from the trash can up there. It's possible that designers had a change of heart and reverted to the old way.

@ruarí , this time not the first, but sure not the last. Thank you

The fix was available in the Snapshot stream, 6 days after the initial Stable release. It is back to 100 (in Snapshot) since then. Fwiw I've stopped using Stable because of it. They clearly need to optimize their release model, i.e. more backports in those 4 weeks of further fixes before the +2 Chromium upgrade.
-
@npro Oh, OK. With all the builds flying around, at this point I was remembering it as something in stable, which made me wonder where it went.
-
@npro: I just did't consider it critical enough to backport to stable and risk regressions. A few people mentioned it in the snapshot. No regular stable users logged it AFAIK. It might be an important "pet bug" for you personally but it is way down on the list of most.
Even if we had a different release cycle I don't think I would bother to backport this, so it is unrelated to "optimising the release model". It is just not that important… sorry.

@ruarí fair enough about the 1st part, you can only do what you can do and the user the same (i.e. I couldn't wait 2 months for the fix, so I switched), but regarding the latter I still believe that Stable should benefit from the fixes in the Snapshot stream, especially when they share the same Chromium version for 4 weeks. This is called optimization imo, for example providing a monthly roll-up upgrade at the same time when Chromium jumps one version but Vivaldi not, thus making Stable more stable. Finding a way to do it though, like developing more efficient methods, hiring more people, etc. is not of my business, I can only suggest things

Reader mode still fails to use the theme correctly often. You have to click the page to trigger it, after enabling Reader.
And the settings icon is gone from the page. -
