Changing writing direction by OS-defined key combination doesn't work with Google Inbox
-
Hi, I started to use v1.0 a few days ago. It really feels like the old Opera is back alive. This is a pure fun! I have noticed that the OS-defined key combination for changing writing direction between RTL and LTR (ctrl + right/left shift) doesn't work in Google Inbox, while it do work in other sites and in Vivaldi interface itself. Any idea? Also, a workaround could be to assign a shortcut key to the writing direction setting (found in the popup menu), but I couldn't find a way to do it. Thanks!

Vivaldi 3 now.
The writing direction hotkey stopped working recently, also in the Vivaldi GUI. It used to work, and I didn't update Vivaldi recently.
Any idea what's up?

- You are on latest v3 version stable or snapshot?
- It needs setting a RTL language to test this?
- It works on other sites?
- Have you reported yet?
- Where this happen?
I know about some issues on google sheet, so who knows, maybe is related. Which hotkey is? Any way to test this?

Updated to latest stable 3.4 and it works.Strange. I was on v3.1 for a while, and I think it worked fine on the same version until recently. Maybe the act of updating reset something?
-
@3o5 Not easy to say. Maybe the 3.1 had a bug which broke the feature and the update solved this. By the way, keep Vivaldi updated and enable update check in settings as you were using an insecure version.

The original thread was archived, can it be unarchived?
The problem's back an hour after it seemed to be resolved.
-
...maybe indeed it would be better not to unarchive the previous thread, because the initial post there describes a more limited problem.
-
@3o5 Share the VB number, so others with the issue+RTL language can track this.
-
No VB yet (AFAIK).
I think I should try to figure out first why it worked after installing v3.4 over v3.1, and maybe how and why it stopped working again. Maybe a restart of the browser?
-
@3o5 With "install over" you mean upgrading within the browser?
You could try to install as standalone one 3.1 and one 3.4, check the feature for a bit and see what happens next.
Or maybe the 3.1 rtl support which is on legacy chromium simply don't work anymore on sites. -
Install by launching the setup .exe, not within the browser.
When it doesn't work, it also doesn't work in the Vivaldi GUI: address box, search box, settings search box.
Today it works. No idea what changed from yesterday (v3.4).
