bug : pinning of stacked tabs is broken after today update

franckv

When tabs are stacked, the tabs that were previously pinned aren't pinned anymore but the contextual menu seems to think they are actually pinned.

Ayespy

@franckv During this development cycle, some changes were made to the stack/pin code. In a concession to weirdo's like us, developers have conceded to allow pinning stacks, but only all at once. So if you want pinned tabs in a stack, you have to stack them first and then use a keyboard shortcut (which you will designate) to pin them all.

Waitaminnit. That was working a couple of internal version ago but not, apparently, now. Lemme dig into this a bit...

Edit - wait again, now it seems to be working. Stack tabs, multi-select the entire stack, use a keyboard shortcut to pin all tabs. Hmmm.

@franckv It works for me, With accordion stacks selecting one tab select the entire stack, then a shortcut or menu item Pin / Unpin Tab pins them all.

@ayespy Still seems to work fine here.

Oh, huh, hang on a bit. Something IS different now, compared to years ago when you first told me this trick.

Before, i would create the stack, in the sequence i wanted, then Ctrl+Alt+P the first tab, move to next & repeat, next & repeat, etc, til the whole stack was pinned.

Now, after creating the stack, i seem to only need to Ctrl+Alt+P any ONE tab, for the whole stack to become pinned... indeed, before i realised this, applying my old method was actually pinning then unpinning then repinning then re-unpinning the whole stack. Once the stack is pinned now, bulk-selecting all tabs & using my kb shortcut, successfully unpins them all, but the reverse then is untrue.

Now that i [think i] understand this change, i quite like it.

I think you guys are a little but confused

I added another screen capture to show you the issue.
Still present after today's update.

Not a guy.
Am confused about myriad things, but not this.
My pics to reinforce my posts [i use vertical lhs tabs, but temporarily changed to bottom for your convenience]:

Oh, additional proof of my claim... when i hover over each pinned tab in that stack, the close-tab cross is not offered [in keeping with my settings]. Said cross only appears on all unpinned tabs & tabstacks, here.

@guigirl Hi and thanks for the screen captures.
The stacked (child) tabs that are shown with a "Unpin Tab" option are, just like I wrote, displayed as normally sized tabs which wasn't the previous way it was working. Before, they were shown as square-shaped tabs that did take less horizontal space.
I simply want this feature back.
But for this we need to know if this a bug or a feature change.

Parent tabs are square-shaped when pinned.
Why should this be different for child tabs?

That's what I'm wondering.

@franckv We apparently have a difference of opinion wrt what constitutes "normal" here. As explained, IMO the current behaviour appears not only "correct", but also completely intuitive. I have no expectation nor requirement that my individual tabs in my pinned stack, would appear different to my pics.

That the stack is pinned, is visually apparent for H tabstrip by the compressed icon [or in my V tabstrip by it appearing above the native pinned to unpinned divider]. That the individual tabs are stacked, is instantly obvious via them appearing in my Two-Level mode's secondary row [/column]. This makes complete sense to me.

Given you dislike it, maybe consider raising either a bug report or a feature request?

@guigirl
"We apparently have a difference of opinion wrt what constitutes "normal" here. "

It's not a matter of opinion. This is the way it was working before.
I've been using this feature during months as I'm describing.

So either something broke or a feature change has occurred.

I need someone from Vivaldi to tell me which one it is.

Ipso facto...

As a general rule, Devs do not frequent the forum threads, so your wonderment here alone is likely to be unfulfilled, whereas if you raise it formally [a forum post is informal, in this context] you stand a better chance of attention [eventually...].

Otoh, it's not impossible that one of the kindly generous ever-indulgent [ ] Mods might see your words here, take pity, & make a behind-the-curtain enquiry of a Dev.
