Ctrl+Mouse-wheel Zoom zooms all open windows instead of just the current window
-
If the current active window is a window with the reduced HUD (no status bar on bottom, where zoom normally is, and no address bar/no tabs), if you try zooming the page using Ctrl+Mousewheel, it will zoom that window along with ALL other open windows. If you Ctrl+(+/-) to zoom, this behaves as expected, only zooms the active window. This seems to be an issue specifically with Ctrl+Mousewheel zooming on reduced HUD windows.

@codemann8 It’s not just mouse‐wheel zoom, it’s all zoom operations, no matter how. But this is only valid for the same domain. Now the funny thing is I guessed this would be dependent on the »use tab zoom« setting in webpage settings, but it’s the opposite. When you enable this setting the second window with the same domain will not zoom, but if you disable it it will. So there’s definitely a bug there from what I can tell.

Unable to reproduce here in a clean profile of Vivaldi 5.2 Stable, Win10 x64.
Please give exact steps to reproduce starting with a clean profile.

It is by design that pages from the same domain zoom in harmony when Use Tab Zoom is disabled.
If the behaviour is inconsistent when using Ctrl+(+/-) that would be a bug, but it is not the case here. Perhaps there is something unusual about a Heads Up Display?

@pesala Hmm, the wording never made sense to me. What does “retain zoom level when navigating between websites” even mean? Something seems off.
-
@luetage Does the Help file help (a little)?
When Use Tab Zoom is enabled, the zoom level will stay the same on all the websites you visit in that tab. When disabled each site can have a different zoom level.

Yes, the wording is bad. It should be "Retain tab zoom level" - because it keeps zoom level consistent when navigating between sites in the same tab.
"Use Tab Zoom" is enabled by default. With it unchecked (and after tabs are reopened), zoom level is set per domain and reflected in all windows - as intended and not a bug. However, still unable to reproduce any different behaviour depending on whether the status/tab/address bar is hidden or with different domains.

@pathduck It’s not only badly worded, the setting makes no sense. Why would I want to keep zoom level between different domains? The whole point of zoom is to adjust it for a specific website, because not all websites display text at the same size. It would make far more sense to set a zoom level globally per domain, or to disable this feature and only have it for the domain on the current tab, as long as one stays within that tab and domain. I always keep this setting off, but I just checked and it’s the default on a fresh standalone indeed. This is madness.
And yeah, I could reproduce the problem stated by OP on first try, but I can’t now for whatever reason. Will try again tomorrow.

Yes, this is how all the other browser do it. Vivaldi just wants to be different I guess
This is madness
I actually keep it checked, 'cause that's what I prefer

@pathduck You’re totally out of it. I’m gonna alert animal control. This is not the way of the duck, you have lost your path

The behaviour makes sense for me. Some websites use fonts that are too small. When browsing that domain, you may open several pages in different tabs, so they all need to be zoomed to the same size.
If switching to different domains in the same tab, each domain will remember its zoom level, while sites not visited before will use the default tab zoom until you change it manually with the zoom slider or zoom shortcuts.
