making a fresh profile fixes the tab stack bugs
Oh this is truly excellent news. I feel that the 4,241 replacement profiles i've had to create since Feb 2015 are just not quite enough...
-
@altcode Let's put that fixes in quotes, 'k?
making a fresh profile fixes the tab stack bugs...
But only in the 1st position...
If this bug were to make it through to the stable branch
Nobody'd use it...

@doctorg Reported as:
VB-87316
-
@pathduck Was confirmed.
-
with this snapshot I can't stack tabs from the same host dragging them, they remain unstack. I can merge them with the "ctrl+click" to select the host though...
-
@bettybop Confirmed here.
-
@pesala I don't know, but people seem to like brave's version
-
Just checking some stuffs with Vivaldi (of course ) and I noticed also Tweetdeck cannot play many videos that can be open normally on Twitter. Previously was all fine (recent snapshots). Just a minor issue, but maybe can be related also to other things?
-
Switching to the mail tab automatically expands the mail panel. Is this an intentional change? I could not see it in the Changelog.
-
@pesala I guess that it's this one
[Mail] Show mail button should open mail with all the three columns without the side panel (VB-80186)
I'm pretty certain that it's intentional, and although I was confused at first by how exactly it's done, I think it works very well (especially because you get back your previous panel if you switch away from mail). M2 was different with keeping a different panel state for the mail tab, but the concept was never quite as clear.
I'm not sure if it's deliberate that clicking contacts or feed entries in the respective panels also opens the mail panel, but there is some consistency with it.

Sadly a white flash appears with Dark theme when opening settings (Ctrl F12).

@ruarí Is this just a stock photo or is someone from the Vivaldi team indeed living in Edinburgh?
-
@christian-rauch Stock photo. I just wanted a photo with two busses as a play on the old phrase, "you wait all day for a bus, then two come along at once!"
Because rather than a few fixes there were quite a lot this time.
P.S. These photos often have some meaning (at least time me), though many times it is quite obscure.
-
@jumpsq I submitted a bug report. This behaviour is not what I would expect at all.
(VB-87334) Mail Panel Opens Automatically on Switching to Mail Tab
-
@pesala I like how it works. I have my mail tab pinned. If the panel is closed and I switch to the mail tab, the panel automatically opens if it is closed (nice) or stays open.
Leaving the mail tab again, the mail panel closes if it was closed before, but it stays open if it was opened before.
What's not to like about this?
EDIT: found one issue with it:
- Mail panel open, open tab is some web page.
- click on received in the mail panel (opens the mail tab)
- close the mail panel (so mail tab takes the full space)
- click on the web page tab
Expected behavior: mail panel should stay closed (... because I leave the mail context)
Observed behavior: the mail panel opens again switching to the web page.Returning to the original state that was used before switching to the mail tab is consistent, but it's just odd that when I leave the mail context, the mail panel opens again
-
@pesala I don't think that report was necessary. There is a setting to disable it in
vivaldi://settings/mail
(though this behaviour seems to be bugged in macOS, it doesn't automatically open the mail panel for me even though this setting is enabled)EDIT: Seems like there is a separate bug where this setting doesn't take effect if:
- You have the "floating panel" setting enabled.
- You individually removed the floating functionality from the mail panel.
- You enabled the "auto-close inactive panel" feature.
-
@altcode Thanks. That works for me.
-
@altcode The setting is brand new in snapshot. Does not exist in Stable. User can be forgiven for not knowing about it - as both the behavior and the setting are new.
-
@ayespy Please forgive my tone in my other reply. I also just learned of this new setting.

(VB-87337) Mail panel doesn't open automatically when global floating panels are enabled
- In Settings -> Panels (vivaldi://settings/panel), enable "Floating panel" and "Auto close inactive panel".
- Hover over the mail panel button and use the context menu, to reveal a sub menu for floating panels. Use this context menu to do the following in this exact order:
I. Floating panel -> "Reset floating panel"
II. Floating panel -> "This panel"
---> This will give you floating panels with the exception of the mail panel. - In Settings -> Mail Settings -> Panel (vivaldi://settings/mail), enable "Display mail panel when viewing mail" and "Open panel automatically".
- Navigate to the Vivaldi Mail tab, either through the tab bar or the status bar button, but NOT through the mail panel itself.
If these instructions are too convoluted, have at this video I made.
